What is XHP 48 cable?

XHP 48: XLPE-insulated medium voltage cable with a copper wire screen on each core and a PVC sheath (N2XSY single core, N2XSEY three core); aluminium: XHP 48-A. Rating: 6/10, 12/20 and 20/35 kV (Novkabel p.30); 3,6/6 to 20/35 kV (Kablovi Jagodina). Standard: SRPS N.C5.230.

Novkabel pdf p.30 'XHP 48, XHP 48-A | N2XSY, NA2XSY' and p.31 'XHP 48, XHP 48-A | N2XSEY, NA2XSEY' (three cores laid up under a common sheath); electric protection 'wrapped annealed copper wires with contra-helical annealed copper tape or wrapped copper tape', PVC sheath black, red for mining. XHP 47 vs XHP 48 for N2XSY settled as XHP 48: Novkabel (Novi Sad), HP Kablovi Jagodina ('Trozilni/Jednozilni kabl XHP 48(-A) se proizvodi po standardu JUS N.C5.230/87'; a PE sheath makes it XHE 48) and Elektrometal Plus ('XHP-48 A / NA2XSY') all print XHP 48 for the single-core N2XSY; only the Slovenian distributor Kabeltrade lists 'N2XSY 6/10: XHP 47' (and N2XSEY: XHP 48). Coptech: 'copper XHP 48 (N2XSY) or aluminium conductor XHP 48-A (NA2XSY), according to SRPS N.C0.015, IEC 60228'. 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.
