Power Cables of Different Voltage Classes
We consider to according to different voltage levels, cables can be divided into low-voltage cables, medium-voltage cables, high-voltage cables, and ultra-high-voltage cables. Low-voltage cables are used to transmit power on output distribution lines that are fixedly laid at 50Hz AC and rated voltage is 3Kv and below. Medium voltage cables generally refer to power transmission lines with voltage levels above 3kv and below 35kv. The voltage level of High-voltage cables is 35kv to 220kv. Suitable for substation or overhead power transmission cables.
Classification of Voltage Levels
Voltage level refers to the series of rated voltage levels of power systems and power equipment. There are several different criteria for dividing voltage levels. Low voltage refers to the voltage level of 1000V and below in the AC system used for power distribution, that is, 1000V is the standard in AC power, and high voltage usually refers to the voltage level that exceeds the low voltage.
ZMS cable voltage level division is mainly the following:
- Safety voltage (usually 36V or less)
- Low voltage (also divided into 220V and 380V, residential single-phase power users generally use 220V)
- Medium and high voltage (6kV, 10kV, 35kV, 220kV)
- Ultra-high voltage (330kV, 500kV, 750kV)
- Extra-high voltage 1000KV (AC), ± 800KV (DC) and above

Performance Analysis
All voltage cables have different structural elements, they have different combinations of one or more conductors, insulation materials, sheaths, and armors. High-voltage cables and low-voltage cables differ in that they have an additional inner layer in the insulation jacket to control the electric field around the conductor. And the shielding layer of the conductor can surround each insulated conductor, which can balance the stress on the cable insulation layer, prevent it from interfering with external equipment, and prevent external electric or magnetic fields from entering the cable.
