Self-supporting insulated and protected wires for overhead power lines according to ST RK 2794-2015

  • Application area:
    SIP (self-supporting insulated wire) is a type of wire designed for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy in overhead power and lighting networks with a nominal voltage of up to 0.6/1 kV inclusive. It is also used for protected wires of overhead power lines with a nominal voltage of 20 kV (for networks with voltages of 10, 15, and 20 kV) and 35 kV (for networks with a voltage of 35 kV) with a nominal frequency of 50 Hz.

    Advantages of SIP wires:
    1. High reliability and safety:
    – XLPE does not form electrical or chemical bonds with contacting substances, unlike, for example, PVC.
    – Wet snow does not stick to XLPE insulation, it is not affected by ice buildup – no “wire overgrowth” in winter, no breaks.
    – Reduces the statistics of electric shock incidents during installation, repair, and operation of the line due to the presence of XLPE insulation (unlike A and AC wires).
    – Possibility of installation in urban environments due to the presence of insulation.

  • 2. Reduced installation costs:
    – Overhead lines with SIP do not require wide clearings in forest areas.
    – Shorter poles are used, eliminating the need for insulators and expensive crossarms.
    – Possibility of laying SIP along building facades, as well as joint suspension with low and high voltage wires, and communication lines.

    3. Reduction of operating and maintenance costs by up to 80%:
    – No costs for periodic clearing of clearings, unlike A and AC wires.
    – Reduction of energy losses due to more than threefold decrease in reactive resistance.
    – Lower probability of unauthorized connections.
    – New subscribers can be connected without disconnecting others.
    – Higher reliability – reducing repair and maintenance expenses.


Wire classification

  • By voltage level:
    – Low voltage 0.6-1.0 kV – SIP-1, SIP-1A, SIP-2, SIP-2A, SIP-4, SIP-5
    – Medium voltage 10-35 kV – SIP-3

    By number of conductors:
    – Multicore (up to 6 cores) – SIP-1, SIP-1A, SIP-2, SIP-2A, SIP-4, SIP-5
    – Single-core – SIP-3

    By construction:
    – With a supporting conductor – SIP-1, SIP-1A, SIP-2, SIP-2A
    – Without a supporting conductor – SIP-3, SIP-4, SIP-5

    SIP-1 – self-supporting insulated wire with aluminum conductive cores, insulated with light-stabilized thermoplastic polyethylene, with a neutral supporting uninsulated conductor made of compacted aluminum wire reinforced with steel wire or aluminum alloy.

    SIP-1A – similar to SIP-1 but with a neutral supporting conductor insulated with light-stabilized thermoplastic polyethylene. SIP-1 and SIP-1A wires are used for overhead power lines and branches to residential buildings and outbuildings in areas with moderate and cold climates, in air atmospheres of types II and III according to GOST 15150.

    SIP-2 – self-supporting insulated wire with aluminum conductive cores, insulated with light-stabilized cross-linked polyethylene, with a neutral supporting uninsulated conductor made of compacted aluminum wire reinforced with steel wire or aluminum alloy.

  • SIP-2A – similar to SIP-2 but with a neutral supporting conductor insulated with light-stabilized cross-linked polyethylene. SIP-2 and SIP-2A wires are used for overhead power lines and branches to residential buildings and outbuildings in areas with moderate and cold climates, in air atmospheres of types II and III according to GOST 15150.

    SIP-3 – self-supporting protected wire with a conductive core made of aluminum alloy, with protective insulation made of light-stabilized cross-linked polyethylene. It is used for overhead power lines with a nominal voltage of 10-35 kV in air atmospheres of types II and III according to GOST 15150, including coastal areas, salt lakes, industrial zones, and regions with saline sands.

    SIP-4 – self-supporting insulated wire without a supporting element, with aluminum conductive cores, insulated with light-stabilized thermoplastic polyethylene. It is used for overhead power lines and branches to residential buildings and outbuildings in areas with moderate and cold climates, in air atmospheres of types II and III according to GOST 15150.

    SIP-5 – self-supporting insulated wire without a supporting element, with aluminum conductive cores, insulated with light-stabilized cross-linked polyethylene. It is used for overhead power lines and branches to residential buildings and outbuildings in areas with moderate and cold climates, in air atmospheres of types II and III according to GOST 15150.

    Wires of the SIP-1, SIP-1A, SIP-2, and SIP-2A brands with a neutral supporting conductor and a core cross-section of 50 mm² or more can be manufactured with 1, 2, or 3 auxiliary conductors. The nominal cross-section of auxiliary conductors for outdoor lighting circuits is 16 mm², 25 mm², or 35 mm², and for control circuits – 1.5 mm², 2.5 mm², or 4 mm².
