Types of Power Cables


 This types of power cables was based on the IEC 60502 (Extruded Cable Insulation),  IEC 60331 (Fire Resistant Cables) and IEC 60332(Cable Fire Tests).
  1. H1 - Multicore XLPE/SWA/PVC power cable, 6/10kV voltage grade, stranded copper conductor, flame retardant in accordance with IEC 60332- Part 3, CAT. ‘A’.
  2. H2 - Multicore XLPE/SWA/PVC power cable, 3.6/6kV voltage grade, stranded copper conductor, flame retardant in accordance with IEC 60332- Part 3, CAT. ‘A’.
  3. P2 - Multicore XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC power cable, 600/1000V voltage grade, stranded copper conductor, flame retardant in accordance with IEC 60332- Part 3, CAT. ‘A’.
  4. P3 - Multicore XLPE/PVC/SWB/PVC power cable, 600/1000V voltage grade, stranded copper conductor, flame retardant in accordance with IEC 60332- Part 3, CAT. ‘A’.
  5. P4A - Multicore EPR/EMA/SWB/EMA power cable, 600/1000V voltage grade, stranded copper conductor, flame retardant in accordance with IEC 60332- Part 3, CAT. ‘A’.
  6. P4B - Multicore EPR/EMA/SWA/EMA power cable, 600/1000V voltage grade, stranded copper conductor, flame retardant in accordance with IEC 60332- Part 3, CAT. ‘A’.
