FAQs of 11kV Cable
What factors determine the 11kV cable price?
UN: The final price depends primarily on the conductor material (Copper is generally more expensive than Aluminum), the cross-sectional area (par ex., 35mm² vs 400mm²), whether it is a single-core or 3-core cable, and the total order volume. Because raw material costs fluctuate and project requirements vary, the 11kv 3 core xlpe cable price and 11kV single core cable price are customized based on your specific needs. Contactez-nous, and our team will provide a competitive, highly accurate quote within 24 heures.
What is the difference between single-core and 3-core 11kV cables?
UN: Single-core cables are typically used for very high current loads and use Aluminum Wire Armour (AWA) to prevent magnetic induction issues. Three-core cables combine all three phases into one jacket, using Steel Wire Armour (SWA), and are generally easier to install in standard trenching or ducting.
Can XWA 11kV cables be buried directly underground?
UN: Oui, our armored variants (both AWA and SWA) with heavy-duty PVC sheathing are designed to withstand the mechanical stresses of direct burial of underground power cables.
How is XWA able to provide such a competitive 11kV cable price?
UN: As a direct manufacturer operating state-of-the-art production facilities, we eliminate third-party markup fees. Our high-volume manufacturing capabilities, efficient supply chain for raw copper and aluminum, and refined production processes allow us to offer an incredibly competitive 11kv cable price while strictly maintaining our ISO 9001 quality standards and IEC 60502-2 compliance.
Do you offer custom manufacturing for specific 11kV power line projects?
UN: Absolutely. While we carry a vast standard inventory, our engineering team excels at custom OEM solutions. Whether you need specialized sheathing compounds, specific screen thicknesses, or tailored technical specs for a unique 11kv power line environment, we can design and manufacture a cable that perfectly fits your project parameters.
What other medium voltage cables do you provide besides the 11kV series?
UN: Our manufacturing expertise spans a comprehensive range of medium voltage power distribution solutions. In addition to our 6.35/11kV series, we produce cables starting from 3.8/6.6kV up to a highest system voltage of 36kV. For heavy-duty transmission requirements and large-scale utility grid connections, we highly recommend exploring our 33câble kV (19/33kV) range.
How are the XWA electrical cables packaged for international shipping?
UN: To ensure your electrical cables arrive in pristine condition, standard orders are securely wound on heavy-duty, export-grade wooden or steel drums (typically in 250m or 500m lengths). We utilize a range of robust drum sizes (from D-12 to D-26) to accommodate different cross-sections and order volumes, ensuring safe handling during ocean freight and on-site unloading.
