XLPE Single Core 400mm2 Copper Cable Application
Single core XLPE insulated copper cable/wire features a plain annealed solid or strands circular copper conductor with XLPE insulation and PVC sheath. It is also referred to XLPE cable or CU/XLPE/PVC Cable 0.6/1kV.
These cables are used for outdoor and indoor installations in damp and wet applications. They are normally used for power distribution in urban networks, industrial plants and energy distribution. For mains, submains and subcircuits unenclosed, enclosed in conduit, buried direct or in underground ducts for buildings and industrial plants where not subject to mechanical damage. Suitable where space is at a premium.
