Cross-Linked Polyethylene Insulated Power Cable
XLPE Power Cable (YJV)
Factory-direct XLPE power cable for 0.6/1 kV–35 kV transmission and distribution
YJV/YJLV series XLPE insulated power cable is the backbone of modern underground power distribution. Cross-linked polyethylene insulation provides superior thermal aging, higher current-carrying capacity, and excellent dielectric performance compared to PVC. Available in copper (YJV) and aluminum (YJLV) conductor options, single-core and multi-core configurations, rated from 0.6/1 kV up to 35 kV.
Key features
- XLPE insulation rated 90°C continuous, 250°C short-circuit
- Higher current-carrying capacity than PVC-insulated cables
- Excellent moisture and chemical resistance
- Copper (Class 2 stranded) or aluminum conductor options
- Available: 1-core, 2-core, 3-core, 4-core, 3+1 core, 4+1 core
- Optional steel tape armour (YJV22) or steel wire armour (YJV32)
Typical applications
- Underground power distribution (0.6/1 kV–35 kV)
- Industrial plant feeders and bus risers
- Commercial building main supply cables
- Renewable energy collector circuits (solar / wind)
- Mining and tunnel power supply

Frequently asked questions about XLPE Power Cable (YJV)
Q.What is the difference between YJV and VV cable?
YJV uses XLPE insulation (rated 90°C), while VV uses PVC insulation (rated 70°C). YJV carries more current for the same cross-section, has better thermal aging, and is preferred for permanent underground installations. VV is lower cost and used in less demanding environments.
Q.Do you manufacture XLPE cable to IEC 60502?
Yes. We manufacture to IEC 60502-1 (low voltage) and IEC 60502-2 (medium voltage up to 35 kV), as well as GB/T 12706, BS 5467/6622, and other regional standards. Specify your project standard when requesting a quote.
Q.What voltage ratings are available?
Our XLPE cable range covers 0.6/1 kV, 3.6/6 kV, 6/10 kV, 8.7/15 kV, 12/20 kV, 18/30 kV, and 26/35 kV. Higher voltages available on project basis.
Q.Can I get XLPE cable with armour?
Yes. We offer steel tape armour (YJV22/YJLV22) for direct burial, and steel wire armour (YJV32/YJLV32) for vertical runs or areas with mechanical stress. Aluminium wire armour also available for weight-sensitive applications.
Q.How do I get a price quote for XLPE power cable?
Send us your specification: voltage rating, conductor material (Cu/Al), cross-section, number of cores, armour type, length required, and destination port. We reply with FOB pricing within 24 hours.
Q.What certifications and test reports do you provide?
We provide type test reports per IEC 60502, routine test certificates for each batch, and can arrange third-party testing through SGS, BV, or TÜV. Factory holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CCC, and CB Scheme certifications.
