French Standard Industrial Cables
U-1000 AR2V

Application and Description

These cables for energy distribution are suitable for all types of low voltage industrial-type connection, in urban grids, building installations, etc. Particularly suited in cases of high operating temperature and when high resistance to solar radiation and atmospheric agents is required. Good resistance to low temperature and chemical agents. Can be used without additional mechanical protection in the open air, fixed to walls or in raceways, inside walkways, and in empty in Cable Constructions in general. Can be laid underground with mechanical protection constructed from slabs, tiles, or bricks. They are not recommend to lay this cable in ground flooded for more than two months per year. With appropriate mechanical protection it can be use in areas subject to risk of explosion, but in this case the permitted current load is reduced by 15%. It can be used in ambient temperature down to -25°.
