1. Engineering position: a high-voltage single-core armoured cable with explicit data boundaries
20.3/35 kV Uo/U is a high-voltage distribution class. Insulation coordination, test voltage, terminations and joints must be released for the exact project system.
The product row is one 240 mm² cable with one copper screen and one aluminium-wire armour layer. A three-phase circuit arrangement is not the same thing as a three-core cable.
Round aluminium wires provide armour against route handling and mechanical exposure. Armour bonding, cleats, pulling loads and minimum-radius instructions remain installation controls.
The article separates user-supplied family values, official product dimensions and route calculations. A dash is retained as a dash rather than being replaced with a value from another family.
2. Designation and construction logic
| Designation / field | Engineering reading | Design consequence | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| YXC7VY2V | National product title shown by the supplied family record. | Keep this title in the purchase schedule and match it to the exact 1×240/25 mm² product row. | Supplied / official family record |
| N2XSYR(AL)Y | International designation printed in the official product PDF. | Use the printed designation as a document cross-reference; do not infer additional letter meanings beyond the controlled construction. | Official product PDF |
| 20.3/35 kV | Rated voltage class; the source also prints 20,3/35 kV with a comma. | Use one consistent notation in the project schedule and accessory selection. | Supplied / official record |
| 1×240/25 mm² | One 240 mm² copper conductor and a 25 mm² copper screen. | Do not read 25 mm² as a second phase conductor or armour cross-section. | Official product row |
| R(AL) | Construction record identifies round aluminium wire armour. | Check aluminium armour treatment, bonding, cleats and earth-fault assumptions separately. | Construction-based reading |
Conductor screen, XLPE insulation and insulation screen form the radial dielectric system. The copper metallic screen provides the external reference and bonding interface.
The source states concentric copper wires plus copper tape and the official product row states 25 mm² screen section. The screen fault current remains a separate design input.
PVC separation sheath isolates the screened core from the single layer of round aluminium wires. PVC outer sheath protects the armour and route interface.
53.0 mm is the nominal outer diameter; 18.3 mm is the conductor diameter; 8.5 mm and 2.7 mm are the published insulation and outer-sheath thicknesses.
3. Standard and evidence review
| Reference | Role in this article | Engineering interpretation | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| National TSEK | Standard printed by the supplied and official family record. | Use the released TSEK certificate, edition and test file for the ordered product. | No edition or certificate number is supplied here. |
| IEC 60332-3 Cat. C | Flame-retardant reference listed by the source. | IEC 60332-3-24:2018 describes Category C vertical flame-spread testing for vertically mounted bunched wires or cables. | The product source gives the standard number without an edition; do not turn it into a CPR class. |
| IEC 60502-2 | Related engineering reference only. | The IEC publication covers extruded-insulation cables from 6 kV up to 30 kV for fixed installations. | The YXC7VY2V source lists National TSEK, not IEC 60502-2; no IEC conformity is claimed. |
| PVC material system | PVC separation sheath and PVC outer sheath. | Review smoke, corrosive gas, halogen, fire stopping, oil and local building requirements using the actual product dossier. | No LSZH or halogen-free claim is supplied for this record. |
| Product evidence | Family PDF plus product-specific PDF/page. | Use the product-specific 1×240/25 mm² values for dimensions, screen section, DCR, ampacity and conductor fault duty. | Do not generalise the row to other sizes. |

| Source disclaimer | All drawings, designs, specifications, plans and particulars of weights, size and dimensions contained in the technical or commercial documentation of Nexans is indicative only and shall not be binding on Nexans or be treated as constituting a representation on the part of Nexans. | Dimensions, weights and technical particulars are treated as indicative until the controlled Feichun release is approved. | Supplied source disclaimer |
5. Technical matrix — YXC7VY2V 1×240/25 mm²
The official product row is reproduced without changing its basis. The ratings are formation-specific: buried trefoil at 20 °C and air flat at 30 °C. The dashes for buried flat, air trefoil and screen 1 s fault current are intentionally retained.
| Conductor cross-section | Nominal outer diameter | Approx. weight | Max. DC resistance at 20 °C | Screen section | Buried 20 °C — flat | Buried 20 °C — trefoil | Air 30 °C — flat | Air 30 °C — trefoil | Conductor short-circuit 1 s | Screen short-circuit 1 s | Product reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 240 mm² | 53.0 mm | 4710 kg/km | 0.0754 Ohm/km | 25 mm² | – A | 469 A | 641 A | – A | 34.3 kA | – kA | 10563489 |
The values above belong to the official 1×240/25 mm² product row. Final Feichun dimensions, mass, electrical values, installation ratings and accessory compatibility must be released for the ordered construction.
Published-data limitations and design closure
| Required design input | Source state | Why it matters | Required Feichun release action |
|---|---|---|---|
| System voltage | 20.3 / 35 kV | High-voltage accessory coordination, insulation testing and protection settings must match the ordered system. | Confirm project voltage withstand and accessory file. |
| Conductor selection | 240 mm² | The supplied product row is fixed; no alternative cross-sections are inferred. | Release the exact Feichun size and conductor drawing. |
| Continuous current | 469 A buried trefoil; 641 A air flat | These are basis-specific values, not universal ampacity. Buried-flat and air-trefoil fields are dashes. | Recalculate for soil, spacing, depth, ambient, grouping and bonding. |
| Bending control | 12 (xD) | With 53.0 mm nominal outer diameter, 636.0 mm is an arithmetic screening radius; the controlled method statement governs. | Confirm drum, entry, roller and accessory radii. |
| Conductor fault duty | 34.3 kA for 1 s | Protection clearing time and the actual I²t duty must be coordinated with the conductor and termination. | Verify protection and joint/termination capability. |
| Screen fault duty | – kA for 1 s | The screen section is 25 mm², but the product row does not publish a numerical screen short-circuit current. | Release screen bonding, earthing and I²t design. |
| Voltage drop | No product X/route length/load profile supplied | DCR alone does not close AC impedance, power factor, load profile or route voltage drop. | Calculate with the actual installation and operating point. |
| Dynamic service | Not stated | 12 (xD) is a laying factor, not evidence for reeling, festoon, drag-chain or repeated-torsion service. | Use a qualified dynamic cable family for moving equipment. |
| Fire classification | IEC 60332-3 Cat. C only | Do not upgrade the record to Eca, Cca, B2ca or s/d/a qualifiers without a matching declaration. | Review the project fire strategy and current product report. |
6. Derived installation checks
| Product row | Published outer diameter | Calculation | Derived laying-radius screening value | Published mass | Derived mass per 100 m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 240 mm² | 12 × 53.0 mm | 636.0 mm | 4710 kg/km | 471.0 kg/100 m |
7. Layer-by-layer cross-section
The diagram follows the supplied sequence. It is intentionally a single-core section: the three-phase system, if required, is assembled from separate single-core units and must not be represented as one three-core cable.
8. Electrical, screen and armour system
The 240 mm² circular stranded copper conductor carries the phase current. The semiconducting conductor screen, XLPE and insulation screen maintain a controlled radial electric field.
The 25 mm² copper screen is a published dimensional value. Continuity, bonding, induced-current control and earth-fault duty require the project earthing design.
Round aluminium wires provide mechanical protection, but armour behaviour is not automatically equivalent to the copper screen or a dedicated protective conductor.
For a three-phase circuit, phase spacing, trefoil/flat formation, bonding arrangement and permissible current must be calculated for the actual route.
9. Thermal, voltage-drop and short-circuit design
The official row gives 469 A for buried trefoil at 20 °C and 641 A for air flat at 30 °C. The buried-flat and air-trefoil fields are dashes. These values cannot be copied to another formation.
90 °C is the stated maximum conductor temperature in service and 250 °C is the short-circuit maximum conductor temperature. Ambient, grouping, soil, sheath and accessory limits still apply.
For a three-phase set of single-core cables, use the actual AC resistance, reactance, spacing, formation, power factor, load profile and route length. The supplied DCR is not a complete voltage-drop answer.
34.3 kA for conductor 1 s is published. Screen 1 s current is a dash, so screen bonding and fault-return coordination cannot be closed from the product row alone.
10. Fire and PVC performance boundary
The source lists a Category C bunched-cable flame-spread reference. It is not a CPR Eca/Cca/B2ca declaration and does not establish fire resistance.
The construction lists PVC separation sheath and PVC outer sheath. No LSZH, halogen-free, smoke-density or corrosive-gas performance is added to this product record.
Confirm cable grouping, penetrations, barriers, supports, enclosures, ventilation, emergency access and local construction requirements.
Aluminium wire armour with PVC has a different mechanical, electrical and fire profile from LSZH or steel-armoured constructions. Selection must follow the actual project priority.
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 PVC sheath selection.
12. Handling and termination
- Confirm the exact YXC7VY2V 1×240/25 mm² reference, drum length, source revision, nominal diameter, mass and end seals before unloading.
- Use the stated 12 (xD) laying factor only as a screening input; confirm the controlled minimum-radius and accessory method statement.
- Align the drum and pay off in the marked direction. Prevent reverse winding, flange impact, uncontrolled twist and local PVC sheath damage.
- Use rollers and supports that protect the round aluminium wires and prevent excessive sidewall pressure at bends and entries.
- Prepare the single-core termination with the correct copper screen continuity, armour treatment, phase identification, gland and accessory dimensions.
- Bond the copper screen and aluminium armour according to the approved earthing design. Record continuity, torque, phase identity and test results.
- Before energisation, complete conductor resistance, screen continuity, insulation/sheath tests, specified MV withstand or partial-discharge tests, phase identification, accessory inspection and as-built records.
13. Selection comparison for engineers
| Requirement | YXC7VY2V reference | What must be verified | Engineering decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20.3/35 kV fixed feeder | Single-core copper / XLPE; 240 mm²; 20.3/35 kV. | System insulation coordination, accessories, phase arrangement and protection. | Candidate after project design. |
| High-current route | 641 A air flat; 469 A buried trefoil under published bases. | Actual formation, spacing, ambient, soil, grouping and thermal resistivity. | Use only after route recalculation. |
| Mechanically exposed fixed route | Single layer round aluminium wire armour; PVC outer sheath. | Impact, compression, pulling load, bending, cleats, armour bonding and sheath protection. | Potentially suitable subject to mechanical design. |
| Screen/fault coordination | 25 mm² copper screen; 34.3 kA conductor 1 s; screen 1 s dash. | Earthing, bonding, screen fault duty, protection clearing time and accessory capability. | Do not release without screen-duty closure. |
| Fire-sensitive building | IEC 60332-3 Cat. C; PVC sheath system. | Current product declaration, smoke/corrosive-gas evidence and local fire requirements. | Do not assume LSZH or CPR class. |
| Reeling / festoon / drag chain | 12 (xD) laying factor; fixed energy-network application. | Cycles, speed, torsion, acceleration, rollers and dynamic bend radius. | Select a dedicated dynamic cable family. |
14. Failure mode and effects analysis
15. Feichun certification and project assurance
Certification capability does not make every YXC7VY2V size automatically TSEK, IECEx, ATEX, EAC or fire-certified. The exact conductor, screen, PVC 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 / PVC / aluminium-wire-armoured architecture around the actual route, protection system and market documentation without copying incomplete data.
