Construction

600/1000V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Unarmoured Power Cables Power Cables to IEC 60502 (2-5 Cores & Multicore)
Conductor Annealed copper wire, stranded according to BS EN 60228 class 2.
Insulation PVC/A according to IEC 60502-1.
Inner Covering Option: Extruded PVC or polymeric compound.
Outer Sheath Extruded PVC Type ST1/ST2 according to IEC 60502-1.
Outer Sheath Option UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
