CableSelection
It is essential that the type of cable ordered issuitable for its intended use. Cable choice will be based on a whole range offactors including installation specifications, relevant local regulations andthe performance of appropriate cable types. It is therefore impossible toprovide a conclusive guide to cable selection and we would advise you to contactus for our specialist advice on suitable designs to meet you specific cableneeds.

Insulation
- XLPE material and thickness shall be as per IEC 60502 or BS 5467 rated for90°C continuous operation.
- PVC material and thickness shall be as per IEC 60502 or BS 6346. PVCinsulation Material-Type A as per IEC 60502 or TI1 as per BS EN 50363.
- PVC insulation as per SASO 1694 rated for 85°C continuous operation is alsoavailable on request.
Assembly
Two, Three or Four insulated conductors arelaid-up together with non-hygroscopic fillers compatible with the insulationmaterial and the assembly is bedded with an extruded layer of PVC. In case ofnon-armoured cables, this layer may be omitted if the outer shape of the cableremains practically circular.
