LT vs. HT Cables: Which One Does Your Project Need?

Introduction

Understanding the difference between Low Tension (LT) and High Tension (HT) cables is fundamental for anyone working in infrastructure, construction, or energy distribution. This blog simplifies the technicalities and dives into typical use cases for both types to help you make the right decision.

Suitable for low-voltage applications

What Are LT Cables?

LT cables are used for voltage levels up to 1.1 kV and are typically deployed in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. These cables are cost-effective, easy to install, and ideal for low-load applications.

Essential for high-voltage transmission

What Are HT Cables?

HT cables are designed for voltage levels above 1.1 kV, often used in heavy industrial, utility, or grid systems. They offer superior insulation and are built to handle high-capacity loads across long distances.
