The Hermesys ChimeraX™ 3×300mm² & 3×185mm² MV Power Cable is a three-core, armoured power cable for underground electricity distribution. Its termite-resistant construction suits both direct-buried and duct-installed circuits, so mechanical protection and durability stay a priority.
Key Features and Benefits
- Available in 3×300mm² and 3×185mm² cross-sections, so the same feeder design covers different load and voltage-drop needs
- Class 2 compacted stranded copper conductors keep the cable compact and easier to terminate than a non-compacted design
- Semi-conductive conductor and insulation screens smooth the electrical field transition, which supports long-term insulation reliability at medium-voltage stress levels
- The double copper tape metal screen gives a consistent electrical screen and a safe fault-current return path for MV operation
- Double galvanized steel tape armour adds mechanical strength, so the cable resists impact and crushing during burial or duct installation
- Anti-termite outer sheath resists termite attack, a common cause of underground cable failure in tropical and subtropical soils
- A wide 0°C to +90°C operating range handles hot ambient heat and the cable’s own load-current heating without reducing capacity
- High current-carrying capacity in air, direct burial, and duct installations gives installers routing flexibility. The same cable works across mixed above-ground and underground sections
- Each cable is verified with AC voltage and partial discharge testing before dispatch, so insulation quality is confirmed before installation
Typical Applications
- Underground and Direct-Buried Medium-Voltage Distribution
- Substation and Switchgear Feeder Connections
- Industrial and Utility Power Distribution Networks
- Duct-Installed MV Circuits in Urban Infrastructure
