Medium Voltage cables, or MV cables, are classified by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) as having a voltage rating above 1kV up to 100kV. However, defining the precise boundaries of the medium voltage cable band can vary depending on the country, the standard-setting bodies, and the type of electrical system employed. Historically, engineers primarily categorized voltages as either low or high, with the concept of medium voltage emerging as voltage levels increased and the need for a broader classification range became evident. This classification now often includes extra low and extra high voltage categories.
