It is constructed with high-conductivity copper conductors, ensuring excellent electrical performance and durability under demanding conditions. Suitable for indoor and outdoor fixed installations.
Standards
This cable complies with the following international standards:
IEC 60228 – Conductors of insulated cables
IEC 60502-1 – Power cables with extruded insulation for rated voltages from 1kV to 3kV
Cable Construction
Conductor: Plain annealed copper, Class 2 stranded
Insulation: XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene)
Filler: Non-hygroscopic compound
Binder Tape: Non-hygroscopic material
Sheath: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), black or as required
Applications
The 3x240mm² XLPE insulated copper cable is widely used for:
Power distribution in industrial facilities, urban networks, and energy systems
