2 ARMOURED, PVC OR XLPE INSULATED AND PVC SHEATHED CABLES

1. SCOPE
This specification covers PVC or XLPE insulated, circular, twin, three or four
conductors armoured cables, rated at 0.6/1 KV to international Electrotechnical
commission Publication IEC 60502-1 for use indoors, outdoors, in cable ducts, in
water and for direct burial underground, where severe mechanical stresses are
present. These cables have high dielectric strength, an excellent resistance to
deformations under high temperature and pressure, and high resistance to ageing,
abrasion, moisture, chemicals, acids and oils.

2. CONSTRUCTION

2.1 Conductor
Plain, annealed electrolytic copper or Aluminium conductors, solid, circular
stranded, or sectoral stranded, conforming to the applicable requirements of IEC
60228.

2.2 Insulation
PVC based thermoplastic or XLPE thermosetting material, conforming to the
applicable requirements of IEC 60502-1.

2.3 Assembly
Insulated conductors are laid up, filled where necessary with non-hygroscopic
material and covered with an extruded thickness of thermoplastic material.

2.4 Armour
Galvanized round wires, or flat strips, completely covering the assembly of cores
and a counter helix of galvanized steel tape on top; or two layers of steel tape,
complying to the applicable requirements of IEC 60502-1.

2.5 Sheath
PVC based thermoplastic material, conforming to the applicable requirements of
IEC 60502-1.

2.6 TESTS
Conforming to the applicable requirements of IEC 60502-1 either on Raw materials
or on finished products.
