Compared to YJLV22-3×400 (8.7/10 kV, aluminum conductor, 400 mm², Ø85 mm, 6200 kg/km, 410 A, 21 kV test), this cable operates at a much higher voltage (26/35 kV vs 8.7/10 kV), uses much thicker XLPE insulation (8.8 mm vs 5.5 mm), requires a higher routine test voltage (63 kV vs 21 kV), and is designed for 35 kV primary grid transmission rather than 10 kV distribution. Values marked (est.) require confirmation against the factory test certificate.

 

Construction Description

 

Construction Description — YJV22-3×150 mm² (26/35 kV HV armored cable)
Layer-by-layer HV power cable: Cu conductors / thick XLPE insulation / Cu tape screen / inner PVC / double steel tape armor / outer PVC · 26/35 kV · 90 °C · finished Ø ≈ 78 mm
1. Product Identity & Ratings
YJV22-3×150 is a high-voltage (26/35 kV) XLPE-insulated, steel-tape-armored, copper-conductor power cable built and tested per GB/T 12701 / IEC 60840. It has 3 copper conductors (150 mm² each, L1/L2/L3), thick XLPE insulation (8.8 mm) with copper tape screening, inner PVC bedding, double steel tape armor, and outer PVC sheath. Rated 90 °C continuous. Unlike YJLV22-3×400 (8.7/10 kV distribution, aluminum, 400 mm²), this is a 35 kV primary grid transmission cable. Finished Ø ≈ 78 mm, mass ≈ 7200 kg/km, steel drums.
2. Copper Conductors (3×150)
The 3 conductors use 150 mm² compacted stranded copper (R ≤ 0.124 Ω/km). At 35 kV, the current is lower than at 10 kV for the same power, so 150 mm² Cu is sufficient for 35 kV primary distribution. Each conductor has an extruded semi-conducting screen to control electrical stress.
3. Thick XLPE Insulation (8.8 mm)
XLPE insulation ≈ 8.8 mm thick — much thicker than the 8.7/10 kV version (5.5 mm). This is required to withstand the 26 kV phase-to-ground voltage. Over the insulation is a semi-conducting layer plus copper tape screen (≈ 0.12 mm). Routine test voltage is 63 kV / 5 min. Partial discharge ≤ 10 pC at 26 kV.
4. Steel Tape Armor (22)
Double galvanized steel tape (≈ 2×0.5 mm) over inner PVC bedding provides crush protection for direct burial in 35 kV grid trenches. The armor does not carry current — it is purely mechanical protection. At 35 kV, cable fault energy is higher, so robust armor is essential.
5. Site Handling & Operational Notes
• Bend radius 15×OD (≈ 1170 mm) fixed.  • Use HV cold-shrink / heat-shrink terminations rated 26/35 kV.  • 63 kV AC routine withstand test.  • Partial discharge ≤ 10 pC at 26 kV.  • Impulse test 200 kV.  • At 7200 kg/km, heavy steel drums.  • Store with ends sealed.  • For 35 kV primary grid, industrial substations.

 

8. Standards & Conformity. GB/T 12701 (HV plastic-insulated power cables up to 35 kV); IEC 60840 (XLPE HV cables); GB/T 3956 (conductors). Rated 26/35 kV (Um = 40.5 kV).

 

9. Packaging, Storage & Logistics. 500 m per steel drum with sealed ends. Continuous marking: YJV22, 3×150, 26/35 kV, GB/T 12701, metre marks. Store dry, indoor, ends sealed.

11. Cable Industry FAQ.

  • Q1: What is the difference between 26/35 kV and 8.7/10 kV? 26/35 kV is high-voltage primary grid transmission (35 kV phase-to-phase), while 8.7/10 kV is medium-voltage distribution (10 kV phase-to-phase). The HV cable requires much thicker insulation (8.8 mm vs 5.5 mm), higher test voltage (63 kV vs 21 kV), and higher impulse rating (200 kV vs 75 kV).
  • Q2: Why is the insulation so thick (8.8 mm)? At 26 kV phase-to-ground, the electrical stress on the insulation is much higher than at 8.7 kV. The thicker XLPE wall prevents dielectric breakdown and keeps partial discharge below 10 pC.
  • Q3: What is the routine test voltage for 26/35 kV? 63 kV AC for 5 minutes — this is 2.4× the rated phase voltage (26 kV). This proves the thick XLPE has no manufacturing defects.
  • Q4: What is the impulse voltage test? 200 kV lightning impulse — simulates switching surges and lightning strikes on the 35 kV grid. The cable must withstand 10 positive and 10 negative impulses without breakdown.
  • Q5: Why use copper at 35 kV? At 35 kV, current is lower than at 10 kV for the same power, so a smaller conductor (150 mm² Cu) is sufficient. Copper also has better short-circuit withstand and lower connection resistance.
  • Q6: What does "22" mean? 22 = inner PVC bedding + double steel tape armor + outer PVC sheath. Standard for buried HV cables where crush protection is needed.
  • Q7: Can YJV22-35kV be used outdoors? Yes — the outer PVC sheath is UV-resistant. For direct burial, the steel tape armor provides crush protection.
  • Q8: What bending radius is required? 15×OD ≈ 1170 mm for fixed installation. HV cables require larger bend radii because the thick XLPE insulation is rigid.
  • Q9: What is partial discharge at 26 kV? Tiny electrical sparks inside the insulation at defects. HV cables must have ≤ 10 pC at rated voltage (26 kV) to ensure 30-year service life.
  • Q10: Can YJV22 be used for fire pump circuits? No — YJV22 is not fire-resistant. Fire pump circuits must use mineral-insulated fire cables (BTTRZ/BTLY). YJV22 is for standard HV power transmission.
  • Q11: How is the cable terminated? HV cold-shrink or heat-shrink terminations rated 26/35 kV. The termination must carefully strip the thick XLPE insulation, insulation screen, and conductor screen in the correct order. Only certified HV personnel should terminate 35 kV cables.
