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 IEC 60502-1

FIRE PERFORMANCE

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)IEC 60332-1

VOLTAGE RATING

600/1000V

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

ConductorAnnealed copper wire, stranded according to IEC 60228 class 2.
InsulationXLPE according to IEC 60502-1.
Inner CoveringExtruded PVC or polymeric compound.
ArmouringAluminium wire
Outer SheathExtruded PVC Type ST1/ST2 according to IEC 60502-1.
