XLPE + armour
Armoured power cable with copper conductors and XLPE insulation
PvBShv is an armoured power cable with copper conductors, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, armour of two galvanised steel tapes and a PVC outer sheath. It combines the higher current rating of XLPE with mechanical protection for installation in ground. Designation breakdown: Pv — XLPE insulation, B — armour (two steel tapes), Shv — PVC sheath.
Sizes with actual technical data: outer diameter (including armour), weight and continuous current-carrying capacity in air. Full range of cross-sections: 2.5 — 240 mm².

PvBShv is the armoured version of PvVG for installation in ground and under mechanical stress where high currents must be carried. The construction includes armour of two galvanised steel tapes and an outer sheath of PVC compound.
Used for installation in trenches, cable tunnels and ducts in soils of low and medium corrosive activity. Suitable for trunk routes between transformer substations and high-power consumers (industrial facilities, data centres, pumping stations). It combines the advantages of XLPE (+25–30% current) and armour (protection against digging damage and ground movement).
Conductors
Stranded copper, 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).
