4.Binder tape :Non-hygroscopic tape
5.Sheathed:PVC (XLPE/PE) sheath
Key Features
- Type of Cable: 8000 Series Aluminum Alloy Concentric Cable. This designation highlights the use of advanced aluminum alloys, which provide enhanced mechanical properties and improved conductivity compared to earlier generations of aluminum conductors.
- Phase Conductor: Constructed from high-quality Aluminum Alloy (8000 series). These alloys are specifically engineered to offer improved flexibility, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for long-term electrical applications. Each phase conductor in this 2X16mm² configuration has a cross-sectional area of 16mm².
- Insulation: Each phase conductor is insulated with XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene). XLPE is renowned for its excellent dielectric strength, high thermal resistance (allowing higher current ratings), and superior resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, ensuring long-term insulation integrity.
- Neutral Conductor: The neutral conductor is also made from Aluminum Alloy. In a concentric design, the neutral wires are typically spirally wound around the insulated phase conductors, providing a combined neutral and often earth function, enhancing both electrical performance and physical security.
- Sheath: The outer protective layer is made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). PVC sheaths offer good resistance to environmental factors, mechanical damage, and UV radiation. Optionally, XLPE/PE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene / Polyethylene) sheath materials may be available, offering even greater environmental durability and abrasion resistance for specific installation environments.
Application
The 8000 Series Aluminum Alloy Concentric Cable 2X16mm² is designed for versatile applications in low voltage power distribution networks, including:
- Service Entrance: Ideal for connecting the utility's power distribution network to residential, commercial, and industrial meter panels.
- Sub-main Distribution: Used to distribute power from main panels to sub-panels within buildings or complexes.
- Residential and Commercial Buildings: Suitable for internal wiring, feeders, and service drops.
- Underground Installations: Can be directly buried due to its robust insulation and sheath, or installed in conduits.
- Overhead Applications: Can be used in certain overhead configurations, especially when additional mechanical support or protection is provided.
- Theft Deterrence: The concentric design inherently offers a degree of tamper resistance, making it a preferred choice in regions sensitive to power theft.
- Wet and Dry Locations: Engineered to perform reliably in a variety of environmental conditions.
