The table is given for 6/10 kV as the most common voltage in distribution networks. Versions for 3.6/6, 8.7/15, 12/20 and 18/30 kV are also produced – they differ in insulation thickness and overall dimensions.

APvV cable description

APvV is the aluminium version of PvV for medium-voltage trunk distribution networks. Aluminium instead of copper gives a ~3× saving in weight and a substantial saving in cost – critical for long routes with large conductor cross-sections.

It is used in 6-35 kV distribution networks for urban and industrial infrastructure: power supply to transformer substations, tie lines between networks, trunk lines to large consumers. It is used in groups of 3 single-core cables (one per phase). All other characteristics are identical to PvV – XLPE insulation (+90°C), semi-conducting screens, copper wire screen and PVC sheath.

Applications

6-35 kV trunk distribution networks

Installation in cable structures, indoor premises and on cable racks

10-20 kV urban and industrial cable lines

Power supply to transformer substations from distribution points over long routes

Used in groups of 3 single-core cables
