APPLICATION

The cables are mainly used in power stations, mass transit underground passenger systems, airports,

petrochemical plants, hotels, hospitals, and high-rise buildings. This product type is TUV approved.

STANDARDS

Basic design to BS 6004: 2012

Approvals:

TUV Certification (B 098200 0028 Rev.00)

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)    BS EN 60332-1-2

VOLTAGE RATING

300/500V

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

Conductor: Annealed copper conductor, class 1 (1.0mm² to 1.5mm²) or class 2 (1.5mm²) according to BS

EN 60228.

Insulation: PVC Type TI 1 according to BS EN 50363-3.

Circuit Protective Conductor (CPC): Annealed plain copper class 1.

Outer Sheath: PVC Type 6 according to BS 7655-4.2.

Outer Sheath Option: UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti rodent and anti termite

properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3,

UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design.

LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
