VDE Code: NYY
Applications
IEC 60502 600/1000V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed Unarmoured Power Cables are mainly use in fixed installations in industrial areas, buildings and similar applications but not for burial in the ground, either directly or in ducts.
Standard
Basic design to IEC 60502-1
Fire Performance
Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test) |
IEC 60332-1 |
Voltage Rating
600/1000V
Construction
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. |
