Armoured power cable with Al conductors and XLPE insulation
APvBShv is an armoured power cable with aluminium conductors, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, armour of two galvanised steel tapes and a PVC outer sheath. A universal solution for installing 0.4 kV trunk lines in ground where a higher current load is required. Designation breakdown: A — Al conductors, Pv — XLPE insulation, B — armour, Shv — PVC sheath.
Sizes with actual technical data: outer diameter (including armour), weight and continuous current-carrying capacity. Full range of cross-sections: 2.5 — 240 mm².

APvBShv is the armoured version of APvVG for installing trunk lines in ground. The construction includes armour of two galvanised steel tapes and an outer sheath of PVC compound for protection against corrosion and mechanical damage.
Used for installation in trenches, cable tunnels and ducts. Suitable for urban and industrial 0.4 kV distribution networks — for example, between transformer substations or for supplying large consumers. The most economical solution for trunk routes with a higher current load.
Conductors
Stranded aluminium, round or sector-shaped.
Insulation
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), +90°C continuous.
Stranding
The insulated cores are laid up into a cable core.
Inner sheath
Extruded PVC bedding under the armour.
Armour
Two galvanised steel tapes applied helically.
Protective sheath
PVC compound, black (“Shv” in the designation).
