Multicore XLPE Insulated, Steel Wire Armored, Flame Retardant Low Smoke PVC Sheathed (CU/XLPE/SWA/FRLS PVC)

Scope

This specification covers XLPE insulated, circular shaped, multicore armoured cables. Rated at 0.6/1 kV and compliant with IEC 60502-1, these cables are ideal for indoor, outdoor, duct, and direct burial applications especially where mechanical stress, fire safety, and low smoke emission are critical.

Construction

2.1 Conductor
Plain, annealed electrolytic copper conductors, circular stranded, or sectoral stranded, conforming to the applicable requirements of IEC 60228.

2.2 Insulation
XLPE thermosetting material, conforming to the applicable requirements of IEC 60502-1.

2.3 Assembly
Insulated conductors are laid up, filled where necessary with non-hygroscopic material and covered with an extruded thickness of flame retardant thermoplastic material.

2.4 Armour
Galvanized round wires completely covering the assembly of cores complying to the applicable requirements of IEC 60502-1.

2.5 Sheath
Flame retardant PVC compound conforming to the applicable requirements of IEC 60502-1.

2.6 TESTS
Conforming to the applicable requirements of IEC 60502-1 either on Raw materials or on finished products

Application

 These cables are intended for use indoors, outdoors, in cable ducts and for direct burial underground, where severe mechanical stresses are presen. 

They are designed to enhance safety in areas where fire risk and smoke emission are critical concerns.
