3.8/6.6kV Single Core Screened & PVC Sheathed (Cu Conductor)

 

Application

3.8/6.6kV Single Core Screened & PVC Sheathed (Cu Conductor) 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.,3.8/6.6kV Single Core Screened & PVC Sheathed (Cu Conductor) cables are suitable for use in

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

subject to mechanical damage.
