Cable Designation | A:Cu / XLPE / Cu Tape screen / PVC or PE B:Cu / XLPE / Cu Wire screen / PVC or PE C:Al / XLPE / Cu Tape screen / PVC or PE D:Al / XLPE / Cu Wire screen / PVC or PE |
Construction Characteristics | Conductor
Plain annealed Copper or Aluminium, circular, stranded, class 2 per IEC 60228. |
Insulation | Semi-conductive screen over the conductor. XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation and Semi-conductive screen over the insulation (strippable), applied by simultaneous extrusion in just one operation. |
Metallic Screen | Copper wire screen – annealed copper wires helically wound and an equalizing copper tape applied in an open counter-helix. Plastic tape is applied over the screen. Or Copper tape screen – a copper tape, standard thickness 0.1 mm helically applied with overlap. |
Oversheath | Extruded PVC or PE. Upon agreement, an extruded semi-conductive thin layer may be applied on the surface of the oversheath, to facilitate the detection and location of defective points. |
