Low voltage (LV) power cables are vital components of electrical power systems, used for transmitting electrical energy at low voltage levels. They are typically rated for use up to 1kV and are used in various applications, such as power distribution, industrial plants, and residential buildings. LV power cables consist of a conductor, insulation, and protective covering, with the conductor made of copper or aluminium and the insulation usually made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE), or Ethylene-Propylene Rubber (EPR).
LV power cables are available in different types, including single-core, multi-core, and armoured cables. Single-core cables consist of a single conductor surrounded by insulation and protective covering, while multi-core cables contain more than one conductor. Armoured cables have an additional layer of protective covering, such as steel wire or steel tape, to protect the cable from physical damage. They are designed to operate under a wide range of conditions, including high voltage, high temperature, and environmental factors such as moisture and abrasion.
LV power cables may be covered in a protective layer like polyethylene or polypropylene to enhance their durability and lifespan. This layer offers mechanical protection and safeguards the cables against environmental damage. LV power cables are designed to endure extreme conditions and reliably transmit electrical energy. They are crucial components of electrical power systems, available in various types and sizes.
