Inside a renewable plant the collector network is the medium voltage layer: inverter stations or turbines feeding a buried ring that ends at the project substation. ZMS collector cable is built on XLPE insulation to IEC 60502-2, with copper wire screening, steel tape or steel wire armour and a PE or LSZH oversheath for direct burial.
Product pages include the full construction table, options and applications.
Three-core XLPE collector cable with copper screen and armour for buried plant networks.

Typical construction data. Final values are confirmed on the order-specific datasheet.
We can adapt this family to the project requirements. Common options include:
Collector feeders run underground between string inverters, transformer stations and the point of connection. The construction has to keep moisture out of the screen and survive the mechanical load of a buried route.
The new energy collector cables selection guide covers voltage rating, conductor class, screen and sheath options, drum length and the test reports issued with each delivery.

The right construction depends on voltage, movement and the environment along the route.
Buried runs from string combiners and inverter stations into the MV ring of the plant.
Turbine-to-turbine strings that follow site roads and end at the project substation.
Short MV links between switchgear, transformer bays and the metering point.
