This 3x185+2x95mm² 3+2 Cores XLPE Insulated Copper Cable is a low-voltage power cable featuring a unique configuration of three phase conductors and two neutral/earth conductors. The cable has three 185mm² copper phase conductors and two 95mm² copper neutral/earth conductors. Its core insulation is XLPE, with a durable PVC outer sheath for protection. This cable is often referred to as an IEC 60502 3 cores + 2 cables.
Applications
The 3+2 core configuration is designed for installations that require two separate earth conductors for safety and compliance. Its applications include:
- Power Distribution: Use this cable for mains, sub-mains, and sub-circuit wiring in urban networks and industrial plants.
- Indoor and Outdoor Installations: It is suitable for use in damp and wet locations.
- Fixed Installations: Install it unenclosed, in conduits, or buried directly in underground ducts where it's not exposed to mechanical damage.
Standards Compliance
This cable is manufactured and tested according to 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
The cable's construction includes the following components:
- Conductor: Plain annealed copper, Class 2 (stranded).
- Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) for excellent electrical properties and high-temperature performance.
- Filler: Non-hygroscopic material to maintain a circular shape and prevent moisture ingress.
- Binder Tape: A non-hygroscopic tape to secure the cores in place.
- Outer Sheath: A durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer layer for mechanical protection.
