What is XHE 49 cable?

XHE 49: XLPE-insulated medium voltage cable, longitudinally watertight copper wire screen, PE sheath (N2XS(F)2Y); aluminium: XHE 49-A. Rating: 6/10, 12/20 and 20/35 kV (Novkabel p.32); 12/20(24) kV in the Split example. Standard: SRPS N.C5.230.

Novkabel pdf p.32 'XHE 49, XHE 49-A | N2XS(F)2Y, NA2XS(F)2Y': semi-conductive waterproof tape under the copper wire screen, 'wrapped waterproof tape' over it, sheath 'special PE compound'. Split p.12: 'XHE 49-A, 1 x 150 OV/25 mm2 12/20(24) kV', alternatively 'NA2XS(F)2Y 1x150/25 RM' (HD 620 S1 5C-1); /25 is the screen section. Letters per the Split university text, Tablica 1.3 'Nacin oznacavanja energetskih kabela' (HRN N.C0.006 against HD 603 S1 / HD 620 S1): P = PVC insulation or sheath (HD Y), X = XLPE (2X), Y = green-yellow protective conductor (HD J), H = semiconducting layers round the insulation, E = PE sheath (2Y), Eh = semiconducting PE sheath, 00 = no mechanical protection, 44 = round steel wire armour, 49 = watertight electrical protection (S(F)), 91 = outer protective covering, A = aluminium; OJ / OV / SJ / SV = round solid / round stranded / sector solid / sector stranded conductor (RE / RM / SE / SM). The other two-digit codes are read off the Novkabel catalogue, which prints each SRPS name beside its VDE / HD and GOST twin.
