IEC/BS Standard 12.7-22kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable

IEC/BS Standard 12.7-22kV-XLPE Insulated MV Middle Voltage Power Cable

Specifications:

    Suitable for energy networks such as power stations. For installation in ducts, underground and outdoor.

    The cables made to BS6622 and BS7835 are generally supplied with Copper conductors with Class 2 rigid stranding. Single core cables have aluminium wire armour (AWA) to prevent induced current in the armour, whilst the multicore cables have steel wire armour (SWA) providing the mechanical protection. These are round wires that provide over 90% coverage.

    Please note: Red outer sheath can be prone to fading when exposed to UV rays.
