Single-core 600/1000V cables with circular stranded copper conductor

APPLICATION

These cables are used for power and control circuits, they can offer excellent protection through the use of a heavy galvanized steel wire armour. The GSWA makes them suitable for use inside and outside buildings or for direct burial in the ground.

Insulation XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) Type GP 8 or ethylene propylene rubber (GP 6)
Colour Code 1 Core : Brown
2 Cores : Brown or Blue
3 Cores : Brown, Black, Grey
4 Cores : Blue, Brown, Black, Grey
5 Cores : Green/Yellow, Blue, Brown, Black, Grey
Above 5 Cores : White Cores with black numbers
Bedding Single core extruded layer of polymeric material
Multicore a) extruded layer of polymeric materia
b) or a taped bedding consist of two or more layers of PVC tape or other synthetic tape, for the cable having conductor area of 16mm² and above
Armour Single Core : AWA (Aluminum Wire Armour)
