These are used in all industries as mediums to efficiently transfer power from place to place. Cables of this group are used for the building of electrical installations for transmission and distribution of electric power. They can be mounted outdoors or inside facilities, in channels or in ditches.
Specification
Cables are sheathed in PVC or XLPE and allow for normal maximum conductor temperatures of 70° and 90° respectively with 160° and 250° for short circuit conditions.
Optional materials are available for protection from electrical distortions and defects caused by water, oil, gas and petrochemical penetration.
The whole cable is wrapped in an Outer Sheath manufactured for specific uses. Examples are BlackPVC ST1 and ST2, Medium Black Density Polytethylene Type ST3, Flame Retardant PVC (FR) with high oxygen index, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LS0H) or Low Smoke Halogen free (LSHF). Other outer sheathing options contain special additive resins and treatments that act as specific preventives such as “anti-termite”, “anti-radiant” or “oil, chemical, gas, alcohol resistance”.
