MV cables NF C 33­226

DESCRIPTION
Usage
NF  C  33­226  cables  are  the  new  generation  of  cables  for  public  power  distribution
network 12/20 kV. They are AD8 (water pressure < 0,2 bar), AF2 and AN3 complying
with NF C 13­200 standard. Sheath is anti­termite resistant.

Design
The cable is made of 1 or 3 bunched cores.

Laying condition
Burial depth : 0.80 m

Soil thermal resistivity : 1.2 °K m/W

Electrical caracteristics

Calculated  from  IEC  60949,  permissible  short  circuit  current  is  applicable  for  the
conductor during 1s.
STANDARDS
Options National NF C 33­226
NF C 33­226 cables can be manufactured with the following options:

• Copper conductor
• Other voltage
• Other section
• Grounding conductor
• Thicker aluminium screen
• Bunch
• Re­enforced burying resistance (EDR)is ensured with an extruded polyethylene
protection.
