Power cable classification by voltage rating:
Low-voltage cables: Cables with voltage ratings of 6kV and below
Medium-high-voltage cables: Cables with voltage ratings of 6kV and above, and 35kV and below
High-voltage cables: Cables with voltage ratings of 66kV and above
Power cable classification by insulation dielectric:
Oil-impregnated paper-based cables: Mostly medium-high-voltage cables
Non-drip paper-based cables: Mostly medium-high-voltage cables
Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)-based cables: Mostly medium-high-voltage and high-voltage cables
Other rubber-plastic-based cables: Mostly medium-high-voltage and low-voltage cables
Oil-filled cables: Mostly high-voltage cables
Classification by structural type:
Cables without outer metal shield: Mostly low-voltage cables
Cables with outer metal shield: Mostly medium-high-voltage and above cables
Cables with metallic inner sheath: Mostly high-voltage cables
