Product overview

Construction and performance

The collector network is the MV backbone of a renewable plant. Cable runs are long, mostly buried, and normally share a trench with other circuits. ZMS collector cable is built to IEC 60502-2 with XLPE insulation, a copper wire screen that carries earth fault current, and steel tape or steel wire armour for mechanical protection in the ground.

Construction

  • Copper or aluminium conductor, Class 2
  • XLPE insulation, semi-conductive screens
  • Copper wire screen with copper tape
  • Steel tape or steel wire armour
  • PE or LSZH oversheath

Applications

  • PV array to inverter station
  • Turbine strings to substation
  • Buried collector rings and spurs
  • Switchgear and transformer links

Selection notes

What to confirm before ordering

Single-core or three-core?
Three-core is the usual choice for plant collector circuits at 35 kV and below. Single-core constructions are available for large sections and difficult routes.
Is water blocking available?
Yes. Longitudinal water blocking tape and powder can be included for buried routes where water ingress is a concern.
What tests are supplied?
Routine tests to IEC 60502-2 are performed on every length. Type test reports and impulse test records can be supplied for the project file.

Need a sample or datasheet?

Tell us the system voltage, conductor size, length and destination. We can prepare a construction drawing and sample for review.

Packing and delivery

From the reel to the site gate

Cable is packed so it can be pulled without a re-reel, and documented so the site team can match each drum to the test report.

Drum packing

Wooden or steel-wooden drums for constructions above 16 mm², with lagging and a PE wrap. Drum diameter is selected so the cable is not bent below its minimum bending radius.

Coil and box

Small sizes and short lengths are supplied as coils in cartons or on pallets, wrapped and labelled with the same drum numbers used in the packing list.

Length control

Continuous length is measured during rewinding, and the delivered length is stated on the drum plate and the packing list. Short-length tolerance is agreed in the order.

Reel marking

Each drum is marked with product description, size, voltage rating, standard, length, gross weight, drum number and the project or PO reference.

Container loading

Drum layout and quantity per 20′ or 40′ container are planned by diameter and weight; a loading plan is issued before shipment.

Export documentation

Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin are issued for the shipment; FOB, CIF and DAP terms are quoted on request.

Shipping documents

What travels with the shipment

  • Packing list with drum number, size, length and gross weight
  • Routine test report for the delivered length
  • Declaration of conformity and certificate copies for the tender file
  • Loading plan and photos before the container is sealed
