Medium Voltage Cables BS/IEC/VDE/ICEA

MV cables engineered to BS, IEC, VDE, and ICEA standards.

Certified medium voltage power cables for global projects.

Reliable MV solutions for utility, industrial, and energy sectors.

Tested and trusted – MV cables with international compliance.

High-performance XLPE insulated MV cables, ready to ship.

Application

Medium Voltage (MV) cables designed to BS, IEC, VDE, and ICEA standards are engineered for reliable power transmission in systems rated from 3.6/6 kV up to 26/35 kV. These cables typically feature copper or aluminum conductors, XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation, metallic screening, and robust outer sheaths made of PVC, PE, or LSZH materials.

Manufactured in compliance with international standards such as BS 6622, IEC 60502-2, VDE 0276-620, and ICEA S-93-639/NEMA WC 74, these cables ensure excellent electrical performance, thermal endurance, and mechanical protection. The XLPE insulation enables continuous operation at 90°C and short-circuit temperature up to 250°C.

MV cables are available in single-core or multi-core constructions, with optional armor or water-blocking layers for enhanced protection in underground, outdoor, or industrial installations. Applications include utility distribution grids, substations, renewable energy plants, mining operations, and critical infrastructure.

With high dielectric strength, chemical resistance, and compliance with flame-retardant and smoke emission requirements, medium voltage cables built to BS/IEC/VDE/ICEA standards offer long service life and high system reliability for both public and private power networks.
