1) both phases insulated
2) one phase grounded
3) max.voltage in d.c. systems 1.8 kv
U : Rated power-frequency voltage between phase conductors for which the cable is suitable.
U0 : Rated power-frequency voltage between conductor and earth or armour, metal sheath or screen for which the cable is suitabel.
Um : Maximum value of the “highest system voltage” between phase conductors for which the cable is suitable.
