IEC 60502-1 Cables

600/1000V, PVC Insulated Cables according to IEC 60502-1 (unarmoured)

Application:

These IEC 60502-1 cables are used for electricity supply in low voltage installation system, They are suitable for installation in indoors and outdoors, in cable ducts, under ground, in power and switching stations, local energy distributions, industrial plants, where there is no risk of mechanical damage.

Construction:

Conductors Copper or Aluminium conductor, round standed or Shaped, Class 2 to IEC 60228, BS EN 60228.
For smaller sizes, a solid round conductor, Class 1 as per IEC 60228, BS EN 60228 can also be supplied upon request.
Insulation XLPE material and thickness shall be as per IEC 60502 or BS 5467 rated for 90°C continuous operation.

Assembly / Inner Sheath Two, Three or Four insulated conductors are laid-up together with non-hygroscopic fillers and the assembly is bedded with an extruded layer of PVC. In case of non-armoured cables, this layer may be omitted
Armour Aluminum/Galvanized Steel Wires applied helically over the bedding as per IEC 60502 or as per BS 5467, BS 6346. Single core cables shall be Aluminium wire armour.
Aluminum/Steel Tapes applied helically over the bedding of multi-core cables as per IEC 60502.
Outer Sheath Outer sheath shall be of Extruded PVC Type ST2 as per IEC 60502-1 or Type 9 as BS 6346/5467.
Special type of PVC sheathing material such as Fire Retardant PVC, Anti-Termite PVC, Anti-Rodent PVC, Sunlight resistant PVC, Oil Resistant PVC are available on special request. Also, special sheathing materials such as LLDPE, MDPE, HDPE, LSF, CPE are available on request.
Fire Performance of Cable Sheaths Cables can be supplied with special flame retardant PVC outer sheath to comply with the flame test requirements of IEC 60332-3-22, IEC 60332-3-23 and IEC 60332-3-24, can also supply cables with Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) material according to IEC 60502-1, BS 7211, BS 6724 or other equivalent standards.
