NGED cable

7 Min Read
6.35/11kV voltage rating is one of the most common medium voltage classifications used in the United Kingdom and countries following British Standards for electrical power distribution networks. British Standard cables BS6622, BS7835, and BS7870-4.10 are manufactured in voltages including 6.35/11kV for power distribution networks. These cables form the backbone of the UK electricity distribution infrastructure, connecting the National Grid to substations, commercial facilities, and residential developments.

What is 6.35/11kV Cable?

6.35/11kV voltage is commonly associated with armoured cable – the aluminium wire armour (AWA) for single core cables and steel wire armour (SWA) for multicore cables providing robust mechanical protection that makes 11kV cables suitable for direct burial in the ground. These armoured MV mains power cables are more commonly supplied with copper conductors but they are also available with aluminium conductors upon request to the same standard.
