The 12 \u00d7 D laying factor and class 2 stranded conductor improve installation handling, but do not create continuous-flex or reel duty.<\/div><div class=\"box\"><b>System platform<\/b><br>Single-core formation, screen bonding, cleats, terminations, induced-current control, current rating and short-circuit duty must be designed as one MV cable system.<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"warn\"><b>Data boundary:<\/b> the article preserves the supplied Nexans reference values and uses them as an engineering benchmark for Feichun product development. They are not silently presented as a current Feichun manufacturing drawing, Feichun catalogue code or Feichun certificate.

Because 12\/20 kV is below that stated scope, the product-specific data sheet, DoP, test certificate and contract must clarify the exact normative and test basis.
