BS 6346 PVC Insulated Cables,1900/3300V
Applications
1900/3300V BS 6346 PVC cables are used for power and control circuits, they can offer excellent protection through the use of a heavy galvanized steel wire armour, so they are well adapted to underground use in industrial applications, in moist areas.
