3.8/6.6kV Three Core Individual Screened & PVC/SWA/PVC Sheathed (Cu Conductor)|Australian Standard (Medium Voltage)|VDE Certification

Australian Standard (Medium Voltage)

Application

These cables are designed to be used for the supply of electrical energy in fixed applications up to the rated

voltages at a nominal power frequency between 49Hz and 61Hz., they are suitable for use in distribution

installation, electrical power station , they are applied for installation, outdoors, underground where subject to

mechanical damage.
