What is E-2XHCE2Y cable?

E-2XHCE2Y: medium-voltage cable, copper conductors, XLPE insulation, semiconducting layers, a copper screen on each core, PE sheath (HD 620 S3 10-A). Rating: 6/10 kV, three-core (HD 620 S3 10-A 1 (b)); 90 C conductor, 250 C short circuit (5 s). Standard: HD 620 S3:2023 section 10-A, Table 5 type designations (p. 10-A-31) and Table 9, three-core 6/10 kV (p. 10-A-35); XLPE DIX 8, sheath PVC DMV 6 or PE DMP 2 (1, p. 10-A-3). seen: standard.

HD 620 S3 10-A Table 5: E- this section (X- a special cable it does not specify), A aluminium (copper no symbol), 2X XLPE, H semiconducting layer, C copper screen, CE copper screen on each core, Y PVC sheath, 2Y PE sheath, J2Y / JA2Y / JC2Y longitudinal (and transversal, Al/PE or Cu/PE) water tightness with a PE sheath; after the size R circular, S sector, M stranded, E solid, after a stroke the screen section, then U0/U. Copper screen sections (Table 3): 16 mm² for 25 to 120 mm², 25 for 150 to 300, 35 for 400 to 1 000. CE names are three-core 6/10 kV cables (Table 9). The section names no country; the letters are the German DIN VDE ones. Before 2026-10-31 no system read the name.
