XLPE Insulated 3×6+1x4mm2 3+1 Cores Copper Cable

This 3x6+1x4mm² 3+1 Cores XLPE Insulated Copper Cable is a low voltage power cable designed for systems requiring a dedicated earth wire. It features three 6mm² copper phase conductors and a single 4mm² copper earth conductor. Insulated with XLPE and protected by a durable PVC outer sheath, this cable is often referred to as an IEC 60502 3 core and earth cable.

This 3x6+1x4mm² 3+1 Cores XLPE Insulated Copper Cable is a low voltage power cable designed for systems requiring a dedicated earth wire. It features three 6mm² copper phase conductors and a single 4mm² copper earth conductor. Insulated with XLPE and protected by a durable PVC outer sheath, this cable is often referred to as an IEC 60502 3 core and earth cable.

Applications

The 3+1 core configuration is specifically designed for installations where a separate earth conductor is required. Its applications include:

  • Power Distribution: For mains, sub-mains, and sub-circuit wiring in urban networks and industrial plants.
  • Indoor and Outdoor Installations: Suitable for use in damp and wet environments.
  • Fixed Installations: Can be installed unenclosed, in conduits, or buried directly in underground ducts where it is not subjected to mechanical damage.
  • Specialized Wiring: This cable is suitable for two-way lighting circuits, providing the necessary additional conductor between two switches controlling the same light.

Standards Compliance

This cable is manufactured and tested to comply with the following international standards:

  • Conductors: IEC 60228
  • Design Specification: IEC 60502-1 - Power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages from 1 kV ( = 1.2 kV) up to 35 kV ( = 40.5 kV) - Part 1: Cables for rated voltages of 1 kV ( = 1.2 kV) and 3 kV ( = 3.6 kV).

Construction Details

XLPE 3+1 Cores Cable Construction

The cable's construction consists of the following components:

  1. Conductor: Plain annealed copper, available in Class 1 (solid) or Class 2 (stranded).
  2. Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for excellent electrical properties and high-temperature performance.
  3. Filler: A non-hygroscopic material to maintain a circular shape and prevent moisture ingress.
  4. Binder Tape: A non-hygroscopic tape to secure the cores in place.
  5. Outer Sheath: A durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer layer for mechanical protection.
