EN50288-7 Cables
XLPE Insulated, LSZH Sheathed Instrumentation Cables

EN 50288-7 Cables

APPLICATION:

EN 50228-7 cables are used for transmission of analoge and digital signals in instrument and control systems at

chemistry and petr°Chemistry industry plants, power plants, natural gas and petroluem plants, etc... EN 50228-

7 cables are used in the environments which have no corrosive gases are emitted in the event of fire. In case of

fire,EN 50228-7 cables inhibit the propagation of the flames whereby the development of smoke is extremely

low. EN 50228-7 Instrumentation cables are not allowed for direct connection to a low impedance sources, e.g.

public mains electricity supply. With blue sheath it is suitable for intrinsically safe systems.EN 50228-7 cables are

not recommended for direct burial. They are for indoor and outdoor installation, in dry and wet l°Cations; on

racks, trays, in conduits.

**TiMF Construction: Polyester tape above the triple, AL-PES tape over solid tinned copper drain wire, 0,60 mm

Lay-up: TiMF laid up in layers of optimum pitch

Separator: Polyester tape

Overall Screen: Aluminium/polyester tape with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm2

Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH compound

type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.). UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti

rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option.
