Armoured power cable with aluminium conductors in a PVC sheath
AVBShv — armoured power cable with aluminium conductors, PVC insulation, armour of two galvanised steel tapes and an outer PVC sheath. Intended for installation in the ground and under mechanical stress. A widespread solution for 0.4 kV urban and industrial distribution networks. Designation breakdown: A — aluminium conductors, V — PVC insulation, B — armour, Shv — PVC sheath.
Sizes with actual technical specifications: outer diameter (with armour), weight, continuous current-carrying capacity in air. Full range of cross-sections: 2.5 — 240 mm².

AVBShv is the armoured version of AVVG for installation in the ground and under mechanical stress. The double steel tape armour and outer PVC sheath protect the cable from damage during excavation, ground subsidence and vehicle traffic.
Used for installation in trenches, cable tunnels and ducts in soils of low and medium corrosivity. Suitable for distribution networks of industrial and civil facilities, 0.4 kV urban cable lines and transformer substation supply. The aluminium conductors make AVBShv a more economical choice for long routes compared with copper VBShv.
Conductors
Stranded aluminium, round or sector-shaped.
Insulation
PVC compound with colour coding of the cores.
Stranding
The insulated cores are stranded into a core.
Inner sheath
Extruded PVC bedding under the armour.
Armour
Two galvanised steel tapes applied helically with a gap of no more than 50%.
Protective sheath
PVC compound, black – hence the “Shv” in the designation.
