APPLICATION

600/1000V single core XLPE insulated

LSZH sheathed power cable is designed

for fixed low voltage power distribution.

It is suitable for public buildings,

commercial buildings, industrial facilities,

tunnels, transport systems, hotels

and hospitals.

The XLPE insulation provides reliable

electrical performance and thermal stability.

The LSZH sheath helps reduce smoke emission

and corrosive gas release in the event of fire.

This cable is commonly selected for projects

where flame retardant and halogen-free

performance is required.

As a single core unarmoured cable,

it does not provide metallic armour protection.

It is suitable for cable trays,

cable ducts, risers, panels

and protected fixed installation routes.

Where additional mechanical protection

is required, the cable should be installed

with suitable protection.

The cable should be selected according to

voltage rating, conductor size,

sheath colour, installation method

and project specification.
