The three core cables are designed for distribution of electrical power with nominal voltage Uo/U ranging from 1.8/3KV to 26/35KV and frequency 50Hz. They are suitable for installation mostly in power supply stations, indoors and in cable ducts, outdoors, underground and in water as well as for installation on cable trays for industries, switchboards and power stations.
IEC 60502 Part 2(3.6/6KV to 18/30KV)
Conductor: Plain annealed copper or aluminium complying with IEC 60228 class 1 or 2.
Conductor Screen: The conductor screen consists of an extruded layer of non metallic, semi-conducting compound applied on top of a semi-conducting tape.
Insulation: Insulation is of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) intended for 1.8/3.6KV and 3.6/6KV cables, cross-linked polyethylene compound (XLPE) or ethylene propylene rubber (EPR/ HEPR).
Insulation Screen: The insulation screen consists of an extruded layer of non metallic, semi-conducting compound extruded over the insulation of each core.
Inner Covering & Fillers: For cables with a collective metallic layer or cables with a metallic layer over each individual cores with additional collective metallic layers, semi-conducting inner covering and fillers shall be applied over the laid up cores.
Metallic Layer: The concentric copper screen wire is applied over the insulation.
Separation Sheath (for armoured cable): The separation sheath comprises a layer of extruded PVC, PE or LSZH applied over the laid up cores under the armour.
Lapped Bedding (for armoured lead sheathed cable): The lapped bedding applied to the lead sheath consists of either impregnated/synthetic compounded paper tapes or a combination of two layers of these paper tapes followed by a few layers of compounded fabulous materials. The thickness is around 1.5mm.
Armour (for armoured cable): The armour is applied over the inner covering helically. It consists of either flat galvanized steel wire armour (strip), round galvanized steel wire armour, and double steel tape armour.
Over Sheath: Overall sheath comprises a layer of extruded thermoplastic compound (PVC, PE or LSZH can be offered as an option.) or elastomeric compound (polychlorprene CSP or chlorosulfonated PE).
