What is Nc2xay Cu/XLPE/PVC/Awa/PVC 0.6/1kv Single Core Power Cable?

This copper-conductor cable features XLPE insulation and a PVC outer sheath, with aluminum wire armor for mechanical protection. It’s commonly rated for low to medium voltage applications (0.6/1 kV), though higher-voltage variants exist.

Construction & Naming

• N: Standard cable type .
• C: Copper conductor (stranded, Class 2 annealed).
• 2X: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation—providing high thermal resistance and reliability.
• A: Aluminum wire armor (AWA).
• Y: PVC outer sheath.

Applications
Engineered for demanding environments requiring mechanical protection:

• Fixed installations indoors, outdoors, cable trays, ducts, industrial plants, and substations.
• Direct burial underground.
• Urban power networks, generating stations, and consumer connections exposed to physical stress.

Technical Specifications (0.6/1 kV Typical)

• Voltage Rating: 0.6/1 kV (standard); medium-voltage options available.
• Conductor: Stranded annealed copper (Class 2).
• Temperature Limits:
  • Continuous operation: 90°C
  • Short circuit (max): 250°C
