Power cables:Medium and high voltage cables 3kV, 6kV, 10kV Used in urban distribution networks (such as in residential areas and factories), as well as outgoing lines of low-voltage distribution substations. They have the largest usage and the widest coverage area. They are mostly single-core or three-core cables, and the laying methods are flexible (direct burial, conduit, or cable tray).
2. High-voltage cables 20kV, 35kV Regional distribution networks (such as industrial parks, suburban power transmission), 35kV substation incoming and outgoing lines Require higher insulation strength, larger conductor cross-section (to accommodate larger loads), commonly used for transmission over medium to short distances (10-50km)
3. Ultra-high voltage cables 110kV, 220kV, 500kV, 750kV Provincial / National backbone power grids (such as inter-city and inter-provincial power transmission), large power stations (hydroelectric / thermal power) grid connection insulation layer is thicker (such as cross-linked polyethylene insulation thickness reaching 20-40mm), mostly single-core (to reduce loss), requires cooling system (some 500kV and above adopt oil-filled / gas-filled insulation)
