APPLICATION

The cables are mainly used in power stations, mass transit underground passenger systems, airports, petrochemical plants, hotels, hospitals, and high-rise buildings. 

STANDARDS

Basic design to to BS 5467

FIRE PERFORMANCE

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)BS EN 60332-1-2

VOLTAGE RATING

600/1000V

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

ConductorAnnealed copper wire, stranded according to BS EN 60228 class 2.
InsulationExtruded XLPE GP 8 according to BS 7655-1.3.
BeddingPVC or polymeric compound.
ArmouringAluminium wire
Outer SheathPVC Type 9 according to BS 7655-4.2.
