The description "MV Underground Power Cables Outdoor Energy BS7835 - 6.35/11kV SWA" refers to medium voltage (MV) underground power cables designed for outdoor use and complying with the British Standard BS7835. The cables have a voltage rating of 6.35/11kV and feature a Steel Wire Armor (SWA) construction.
Here's a breakdown of the key components and characteristics:
Voltage Rating: The cables are designed to operate at a medium voltage level of 6.35/11kV. This indicates that they are suitable for power distribution applications requiring voltage levels within this range.
Underground Use: These cables are specifically designed for underground installation. They are suitable for burying directly in the ground or for use in ducts or trenches.
Outdoor Energy: The cables are intended for outdoor environments, where they are exposed to weather conditions like sunlight, rain, and temperature variations. They are constructed to withstand the outdoor elements and provide reliable power transmission.
BS7835 Standard: BS7835 is a British Standard that sets requirements for medium voltage cables used in electricity supply systems. Compliance with this standard ensures that the cables meet specified performance, construction, and testing criteria.
Steel Wire Armor (SWA): The SWA construction refers to a layer of steel wires that provides mechanical protection to the cables. The armor enhances the cables' resistance to physical damage, such as impact, compression, and mechanical stress. It also offers additional protection against rodents and other external hazards.
