Two-core 600/1000V cables with stranded copper conductors

APPLICATION

These cables are used for power and control circuits, they can offer excellent protection through the use of a heavy galvanized steel wire armour. The GSWA makes them suitable for use inside and outside buildings or for direct burial in the ground.

Conductor Solid Aluminum or Copper conductor, round stranded or shaped, Class 2 to BS 6460, IEC 60228.
Insulation XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) Type GP 8 or ethylene propylene rubber (GP 6)
Colour Code 1 Core : Brown
2 Cores : Brown or Blue
3 Cores : Brown, Black, Grey
4 Cores : Blue, Brown, Black, Grey
5 Cores : Green/Yellow, Blue, Brown, Black, Grey
Above 5 Cores : White Cores with black numbers
Bedding Single core extruded layer of polymeric material
Multicore a) extruded layer of polymeric materia
b) or a taped bedding consist of two or more layers of PVC tape or other synthetic tape, for the cable having conductor area of 16mm² and above
