Australian Standard (Medium Voltage)

3.8/6.6kV Three Core Individual Screened & PVC/SWA/PVC Sheathed (Al Conductor)

Application

3.8/6.6kV Three Core Individual Screened & PVC/SWA/PVC Sheathed (Al 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 Three Core Individual Screened & PVC/SWA/PVC Sheathed (Al

Conductor) cables are suitable for use in distribution installation, electrical power station , they are applied for

installation, outdoors, underground where subject to mechanical damage.

Standard

AS/NZS 1429.1
