Cable Made In Britain - Manufactured in the UKTratos® WAVEFORM – 3 AND 4 CORE – 0.6/1 KV – PVC SHEATH

Low Voltage polymeric insulated cables for use by distribution and generation utilities BS 7870 3.40. The term Waveform refers to the way the neutral/earth wires are laid around the cores/bedding, this allows the neutral/earth wires to be opened so the connection can be made to the conductors anywhere along its length. Conductor – Circular or shaped solid aluminium (Class 1) Insulation phase conductors – XLPE Type DIX 3 conforming to the requirements given in BS 7870-1 annexe B. Bedding – extruded synthetic rubber material. Concentric conductor – plain annealed copper earth wires applied concentrically with a waveform lay. Oversheath – PVC type DMV 23 conforming to the requirements given in BS 7870-1 annexe B. Colour – Black (other colours can be supplied on request) Core Colours. 3 core – Brown, Black, Grey. 4 core – Brown, Black, Grey, Blue. Voltage rating Uo/U 0.6/1kv. These cables are designed for a maximum continuous conductor temperature of 90 deg c and a maximum short circuit temperature of 250 deg c. Conductor sizes available, 35mm x 3 core. 95mm 3 and 4 core. 185mm 3 and 4 core. 300mm 3 and 4 core.
