The Power Spectrum: Low Voltage vs. High Voltage Cables
The cables that power our industries and transmit energy across communities are not all the same. They are fundamentally categorized by the voltage they carry, dictating their design, materials, and safety requirements. Understanding the difference is crucial for any serious project.
LV: Low Voltage Cables (Up to 1 kV)
These are the most common cables, used in distributing power from transformers to final consumption points like homes, offices, and small industries. They are characterized by thinner insulation and are easier to handle.
Application: Residential distribution, general wiring, and appliance connections.
Berliac Standard: We focus on robust insulation and high-purity copper to ensure minimal loss and maximum safety within buildings.
MV/HV: Medium and High Voltage Cables (Above 1 kV)
These cables are the workhorses of power transmission and large industrial operations. Because they carry significantly higher voltage, their construction is far more complex, involving specialized shielding layers, thicker insulation (often XLPE), and sometimes armouring to prevent external damage.
Application: Utility power grids, large factory setups, and heavy infrastructure projects.
Safety First: For HV/MV, insulation integrity is a matter of life-or-death and operational stability. Berliac Cables ensures strict compliance for these high-demand products.
Key Takeaway: Whether distributing power within a room (LV) or transmitting it across a city (HV), the quality of the insulation and conductor material must be absolute. Don’t compromise your infrastructure with uncertified components.
