EN 60332-1-2 |
VOLTAGE RATING
300/500V
Cable Construction
| Conductor |
Annealed copper conductor，class 1 (1.0mm² to 2.5mm²) or class 2 (4mm² to 35mm²) according to BS EN 60228. |
| Insulation |
PVC Type TI 1 according to BS EN 50363-3. |
| Circuit Protective Conductor (CPC) |
Annealed plain copper (class 1 or 2) |
| Position of CPC |
Centrally placed between cores in same plane (twin); centrally placed between black and grey cores in same plane(3-core). |
| Outer Sheath |
PVC Type 6 according to BS 7655-4.2. |
| 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. |
