What is CXV power cable?

CXV is an abbreviation for CU/XLPE/PVC which means XLPE insulated and PVC sheathed copper core cable. This is a very common type of power cable used to transmit voltage for civil and low voltage networks, CXV is also used to transmit voltage for medium voltage grids or special projects/constructions. but to a limited extent because of relatively high production and installation costs.

Learn about CXV power cables

The CXV power cable has the following structure:

The conductor is made of 99.9% pure copper, consisting of many concentrically twisted electrical engineering circular copper wires forming 1 or more twisted layers. CXV power cables may have 1 or more conductors;
Cores are XLPE insulated in white or according to color scheme. XLPE plastic shows many outstanding advantages in being an insulating compound and has been specified in Vietnamese standards on electric wires and cables;
The outermost PVC sheath protects the core and insulation from natural wear and tear and environmental influences.

CXV power cables are specified in Vietnamese standards on electrical wires and cables depending on the purpose of using the cable, these standards clearly specify production specifications and testing methods:

CXV power cable is used to transmit network voltage for low voltage : To be specified in standards ISO 5935-1: 2013 ;
CXV power cables used to transmit voltage for medium voltage power networks : As specified in the standard TCVN 5935-2:2013 …
