BS EN 60332-1-2

Voltage Rating

600/1000V

Cable Construction

Conductor:Annealed copper wire, stranded according to BS EN 60228 class 2.

Insulation:Extruded XLPE GP 8 according to BS 7655-1.3.

Bedding:PVC or polymeric compound.

Armouring:Aluminium wire

Outer Sheath:PVC Type 9 according to BS 7655-4.2.
