Reinforced sheath
6-35 kV power cable with Al conductors and reinforced PE sheath
APvPu is a modification of APvP with a reinforced (increased-thickness) polyethylene outer sheath. The letter “u” in the designation stands for “reinforced sheath”. It is used for installation in ground where additional protection against mechanical damage and moisture is required: in highly corrosive soils, on routes at risk of ground movement, and on long underground runs. Designation breakdown: APv – Al conductor, XLPE insulation, Pu – reinforced polyethylene sheath.
Sizes for 6/10 kV. Also produced for other voltages.

APvPu is a version of APvP with a polyethylene outer sheath of increased thickness. The reinforced sheath improves the cable's resistance to mechanical damage during installation and operation in ground, provides better protection against moisture ingress and extends service life on difficult routes. It is used in critical 35 kV lines, in areas with frequent lightning strikes, and for trunk cables of enhanced reliability.
The insulation, screens and electrical characteristics are the same as for APvP: cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), semi-conducting conductor and insulation screens, and a copper wire screen. The only difference is the outer sheath.
Conductor
