YJLV22 Cable

0.6/1kV YJLV22 XLPE Insulated Steel Tape Armoured PVC Sheathed Aluminium Power Cable
Voltage: 0.6/1kV (Um=1.2kV), test 4kV
Conductor: Aluminium, Class 1 or 2, IEC 60228
Insulation: XLPE, rated 90°C, 250°C short-circuit
Armour: Double galvanized steel tape (non-magnetic for 1-Core)
Sheath: Black PVC, flame retardant, IEC 60332-1
Temperature: -35°C to +90°C (fixed), +5°C to +90°C (flexed)
Standard: GB/T 12706.1, IEC 60502-1, equivalent to NA2XBY (VDE)

Product Overview

YJLV22 Cable is a 0.6/1kV XLPE-insulated steel tape armoured PVC-sheathed power cable with aluminium conductor, manufactured to the Chinese national standard GB/T 12706.1 and international standard IEC 60502-1. Naming follows GB/T convention: YJ = XLPE insulation (cross-linked polyethylene), L = aluminium conductor, V = PVC sheath, 22 = double steel tape armour. It is structurally identical to the VDE-designated NA2XBY — both are Al/XLPE/STA/PVC 0.6/1kV armoured cables differing only in the certifying standard (GB/T vs VDE). YJLV22 is the aluminium counterpart of the copper YJV22, offering significant weight reduction and lower material cost. Single-core variants use non-magnetic (aluminium) tape armour to prevent eddy current losses in AC circuits.

YJLV22 Cable Cross Section with 3D Cutaway and 2D Cross-Section

Outer Sheath — Black PVC, flame retardant
Steel Tape Armour — Double galvanized, helically applied
PVC Bedding — Light blue-grey extruded separation sheath
XLPE Insulation — 90°C, GB/T 12706.1 colour coded
Aluminium Conductor — Class 2 stranded per IEC 60228

1

Aluminium Conductor

Class 1 (solid) or Class 2 (stranded) per IEC 60228. Solid for ≤4mm². 61% IACS at ~50% weight of equivalent copper.

2

XLPE Insulation

90°C continuous, 250°C short-circuit (max 5s). Test voltage 4kV. GB/T 12706.1 colour coded per HD 308 S2.

3

PVC Bedding

Light blue-grey extruded separation sheath between cores and armour. Prevents XLPE abrasion from steel tape edges during bending.

4

Steel Tape Armour

Double galvanized steel tape. Non-magnetic (aluminium) tape for single-core to prevent eddy currents. 0.2mm for ≤35mm², 0.5mm for ≥50mm².

5

PVC Outer Sheath

Black PVC, flame retardant per IEC 60332-1. UV resistant for outdoor installation. Moisture-proof for underground use.

6

GB/T Certified

Chinese national standard GB/T 12706.1. Structurally identical to NA2XBY (VDE) — same Al/XLPE/STA/PVC, different certification.

Applicable Standards

StandardScope
GB/T 12706.1Chinese national standard for extruded insulation power cables rated 1kV (Um=1.2kV) to 3kV (Um=3.6kV). Primary standard covering YJLV22 construction, testing, and type designation.
IEC 60502-1International standard for LV extruded insulation power cables. YJLV22 meets all IEC 60502-1 structural and electrical requirements. Equivalent VDE designation: NA2XBY.
IEC 60228Conductor standard. Class 1 solid and Class 2 stranded aluminium conductors.
IEC 60332-1Single cable vertical flame test. Mandatory for building installation cables.
HD 308 S2Harmonised European core identification standard. Widely adopted by Chinese manufacturers for export-grade cables.

GB/T Naming Convention

LetterMeaningDescription
YJXLPE insulationCross-linked polyethylene, 90°C rated
LAluminiumAluminium conductor (omit for copper: YJV22)
VPVC sheathPolyvinyl chloride outer sheath
22Steel tape armourDouble galvanized steel tape (23 = steel wire, 32 = steel wire heavy)
YJLV22 vs NA2XBY vs YJV22: YJLV22 (GB/T) and NA2XBY (VDE) are structurally identical — Al/XLPE/STA/PVC 0.6/1kV — differing only in the certifying standard. YJLV22 removes the "L" for copper: YJV22 = Cu/XLPE/STA/PVC (equivalent to N2XBY). The "22" digit is the GB/T armour code: 22 = steel tape, 23 = steel wire, 32 = steel wire armour heavy. For single-core AC, non-magnetic (aluminium) tape is mandatory to prevent eddy current heating — this is designated by the same "22" code but with aluminium tape material.

Technical Specifications

Aluminium conductor, XLPE insulated, steel tape armoured, PVC sheathed per GB/T 12706.1 / IEC 60502-1. Non-magnetic (aluminium) tape for single-core.

Typical Applications

1

Underground Distribution

Direct burial in soil for LV power networks. Steel tape armour provides mechanical protection; XLPE insulation ensures reliable long-term underground performance.

2

Industrial Feeders

Power supply to high-load motors, transformers, and production lines. 90°C XLPE handles overload conditions reliably.

3

Building Main Supply

Main distribution cables in commercial and residential buildings. 12×D bending radius for multi-core routing through conduits and cable trays.

4

Solar & Wind Farms

LV collector circuits in renewable energy projects. Aluminium conductor economics favour long cable runs.

5

Cable Trenches & Trays

Open-air installation on cable trays or covered trenches. UV-resistant black PVC sheath for outdoor routing.

6

Infrastructure Projects

Water treatment, pumping stations, tunnel lighting, and transport infrastructure requiring GB/T-certified armoured cable.

YJLV22 vs YJV22 — aluminium vs copper: YJLV22 uses aluminium conductor with the same XLPE/STA/PVC construction as YJV22 (copper). Aluminium DC resistance is ~1.68× copper at the same cross-section (IEC 60228). For export projects, YJLV22 is structurally equivalent to NA2XBY (VDE/IEC). For maximum conductivity, specify YJV22 (copper). For projects where aluminium economics are acceptable, YJLV22 delivers GB/T-certified XLPE armoured performance at substantially lower material cost.
