1. Engineering position: a high-voltage single-core LSZH armoured cable
At 20.3/35 kV, conductor screen, XLPE insulation and insulation screen must be coordinated with the exact termination, joint, test and earthing system.
The concentric copper screen is an electrical and fault-path component. The round aluminium wires are mechanical armour. Their continuity and bonding duties must be designed separately.
LSZH separation and outer sheaths support low-smoke, halogen-related project objectives, but the supplied record only states IEC 60332-3 Cat. C and does not provide a CPR class.
The matrix contains 95 mm² and two 240 mm² reference rows. No row is collapsed, and no missing screen-fault value is invented.

5. Complete technical matrix — YXC7Z1Y2Z1 20.3/35 kV
The source provides two conductor areas and three product references. The duplicate 240 mm² rows are not collapsed because the supplied references differ.
| Cross section [mm²] | Nom. outer diam. [mm] | Approx. weight [kg/km] | Max. DC Resist. Cond. 20 °C [Ohm/km] | Perm. current in air 30 °C — flat [A] | Perm. current buried 20 °C — trefoil [A] | Short-circuit conductor 1 s [kA] | Nexans Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 95 | 45.0 | 2700 | 0.193 | 434 | 285 | 13.6 | 10564587 |
| 240 | 53.0 | 4530 | 0.0754 | 641 | 469 | 34.3 | 10563510 |
| 240 | 53.0 | 4530 | 0.0754 | 641 | 469 | 34.3 | 10567304 |
The user-supplied matrix contains no screen short-circuit field, conductor diameter, sheath diameter, mass for alternative constructions or screen cross-section. Those values are not inserted from another cable.
6. Derived installation checks
Derived values use only the supplied nominal outer diameter, weight and 12 (xD) laying factor. They are arithmetic screening values, not additional manufacturer specifications.
| Cross section | Source OD | Laying factor | Derived radius | Approx. mass per 100 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 95 mm² | 45.0 mm | 12 × D | 540.0 mm | 270.0 kg/100 m |
| 240 mm² | 53.0 mm | 12 × D | 636.0 mm | 453.0 kg/100 m |
7. Layer-by-layer cross-section
The diagram is a conceptual engineering reconstruction. It distinguishes the concentric copper screen, LSZH layers and round aluminium-wire armour; exact dimensions remain controlled-drawing fields.
8. Electrical, screen and armour system
Semiconducting screens, XLPE and the copper screen must remain continuous through joints and terminations.
Bonding depends on system earthing, induced voltage, earth-fault duty, route length and local rules.
Round aluminium wires are mechanically distinct from the copper screen; armour continuity and bonding require separate review.
Use the exact insulation diameter, screen preparation, LSZH sheath and armour-entry dimensions for 20.3/35 kV accessories.
9. Thermal, voltage-drop and short-circuit design
Engineering closure matrix
| Check | Known source basis | Engineering implication | Release action |
|---|---|---|---|
| System voltage | 20.3 / 35 kV | High-voltage insulation coordination, joints, terminations and protection must match. | Confirm the project insulation and test file. |
| 95 mm² row | 45.0 mm; 2700 kg/km; 434 A air flat; 285 A buried trefoil; Ref 10564587 | Use only under the stated formation bases and route corrections. | Verify route thermal and accessory design. |
| 240 mm² rows | 53.0 mm; 4530 kg/km; 641 A air flat; 469 A buried trefoil; Refs 10563510 / 10567304 | Two references are preserved as separate rows; do not merge them without controlled confirmation. | Identify the exact ordered reference. |
| Bending | 12 (xD) | 540.0 mm for 45.0 mm OD and 636.0 mm for 53.0 mm OD are screening radii. | Confirm drum, roller, entry and accessory limits. |
| Conductor fault | 13.6 kA for 95 mm²; 34.3 kA for 240 mm², 1 s | Coordinate protection I²t with conductor and accessory capability. | Complete the protection study. |
| Screen fault | Not supplied in the source matrix | Metallic screen construction is stated, but no numerical screen short-circuit value is supplied. | Close screen bonding and I²t design. |
| Fire | IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C | Do not infer Eca, Cca, B2ca or s/d/a qualifiers. | Match the exact product declaration. |
| Dynamic service | Not stated | 12×D is a laying factor, not reeling, festoon or drag-chain qualification. | Use a dedicated dynamic cable family. |
10. Fire and LSZH performance boundary
IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C is retained exactly from the source. It is a test reference, not a complete CPR declaration.
LSZH separation and outer sheaths are explicit construction fields. Confirm smoke, acidity, corrosivity and product declaration for the ordered reference.
Review cable grouping, fire stopping, penetrations, ventilation, emergency egress and local requirements with the current product file.
11. Fixed-route applications
The source identifies low dielectric losses and networks with sudden load changes. Final selection needs load profile, conductor area, protection and route design.
Review soil thermal resistance, depth, water exposure, drainage, backfill, mechanical impact and joint access.
Check duct fill, pulling load, sidewall pressure, entry geometry, bends, heat dissipation, water and installation temperature.
Review public access, fire strategy, induced voltage, earthing, support spacing, maintenance clearance and the consequences of LSZH sheath selection.
12. Handling and termination
- Confirm the exact product reference, conductor area, diameter, mass, drum label and end seals before unloading.
- Use 12×D only as the supplied laying factor: 540.0 mm for the 95 mm² row and 636.0 mm for the 240 mm² rows.
- Protect the LSZH sheath and aluminium wires from crushing, uncontrolled twist, sharp entries and local abrasion.
- Prepare the 20.3/35 kV termination with the correct screen, XLPE stress-control, sheath and armour-entry dimensions.
- Verify conductor resistance, screen continuity, armour continuity/bonding, insulation/sheath tests and project-specified MV tests before energisation.
13. Selection comparison for engineers
Source-based selection comparison
| Requirement | Source reference | What must be verified | Engineering decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20.3/35 kV fixed feeder | Cu / XLPE / copper screen / LSZH / round Al-wire armour / LSZH | Confirm system earthing, formation, bonding, protection and accessories. | Candidate after exact-size release. |
| 95 mm² | 45.0 mm OD; 2700 kg/km; 434 A air flat; 285 A buried trefoil | Check voltage drop, thermal correction, fault duty, pulling and termination. | Use Ref 10564587. |
| 240 mm² | 53.0 mm OD; 4530 kg/km; 641 A air flat; 469 A buried trefoil | Three source references are preserved; identify the exact row on the order. | Use Ref 10563510 or 10567304 as confirmed. |
| LSZH fixed route | LSZH separation and outer sheath; IEC 60332-3 Cat. C | Confirm current fire declaration, smoke, corrosive-gas and route requirements. | Do not infer CPR class. |
| Reeling / festoon / drag chain | 12×D laying factor only | Cycles, torsion, acceleration and dynamic bend radius are not supplied. | Select a dedicated dynamic cable. |
14. Failure-mode controls
15. Feichun certification and project assurance
Certification capability does not make every YXC7Z1Y2Z1 size automatically TSEK, IECEx, ATEX, EAC or fire-certified. The exact conductor, screen, LSZH compounds, aluminium armour, voltage class and documentation must match.
Confirm conductor flexibility, conductor and screen area, DCR, outer diameter, mass, current ratings, short-circuit values, screen bonding, armour treatment, bending instructions and accessory compatibility.
For 20.3/35 kV service, the termination and joint system must be selected with the exact insulation diameter, screen preparation, sheath, armour and test requirements.
Feichun can develop the copper / XLPE / copper-screen / LSZH / aluminium-wire-armoured architecture around the actual route, protection system and market documentation without copying incomplete data.
