This 3x10+2x6mm² 3+2 Cores XLPE Insulated Copper Cable is a low voltage power cable for applications that need three phase conductors and two neutral/earth conductors. The cable has three 10mm² copper phase conductors and two 6mm² copper neutral/earth conductors. It is insulated with XLPE and protected by a durable PVC outer sheath, commonly referred to as an IEC 60502 3 cores + 2 cables.
Applications
The 3+2 core configuration is specifically designed for installations where two separate earth conductors are required for safety and compliance. 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 not subjected to mechanical damage.
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
The cable's construction consists of the following components:
- Conductor: Plain annealed copper, available in Class 1 (solid) or 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.
