IEC 60502-1 600/1000V XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed Unarmoured Power Cables are mainly use in fixed installations in industrial areas, buildings and similar applications but not for burial in the ground, either directly or in ducts.
600/1000V single core XLPE insulated PVC sheathed unarmoured cable is designed for fixed low voltage power distribution.
It is suitable for industrial plants, commercial buildings, distribution boards, control panels and general electrical installations.
The XLPE insulation provides reliable electrical performance and thermal stability.
The PVC outer sheath provides general protection for fixed installation environments.
As an unarmoured cable, it does not provide metallic mechanical protection.
It is suitable for cable tray, conduit, trunking, duct and other protected cable routes.
It is not recommended for direct burial without additional mechanical protection.
The cable should be selected according to voltage rating, conductor size, conductor material, installation method and project specification.
