IEC 60502-1 Cables

600/1000V, PVC Insulated Cables according to IEC 60502-1 (unarmoured)

Application:

Iec 60502-1 cables are used for electricity supply in low voltage installation system, Iec 60502-1 cables are

suitable for installation in indoors and outdoors, in cable ducts, under ground, in power and switching stations,

local energy distributions, industrial plants, where there is no risk of mechanical damage.

Construction:

Conductors:

Copper or Aluminium conductor, round standed or Shaped, Class 2 to IEC 60228, BS EN 60228. For smaller

sizes, a solid round conductor, Class 1 as per IEC 60228, BS EN 60228 can also be supplied upon request.

Insulation:

PVC Insulation material and thickness shall be as per IEC 60502-1 and BS 6346.

PVC material shall be Type A as per IEC 60502-1 or TI1 as per BS EN 50363.

PVC Insulation material as per SASO 1694 rated for 85°C continuous operation is also available upon special

request.

Assembly / Inner Sheath :Two, Three or Four insulated conductors are laid-up together with non-hygroscopic

fillers and the assembly is bedded with an extruded layer of PVC. In case of non armoured cables, this layer may

be omitted .

Armour:Aluminum/Galvanized Steel Wires applied helically over the bedding as per IEC 60502 or as per BS

5467, BS 6346. Single core cables shall be Aluminium wire armour. Aluminum/Steel Tapes applied helically over

the bedding of multi-core cables as per IEC 60502.

Outer Sheath :Outer sheath shall be of Extruded PVC Type ST2 as per IEC 60502-1 or Type 9 as BS 6346/5467.

Special type of PVC sheathing material such as Fire Retardant PVC, Anti-Termite PVC, Anti-Rodent PVC, Sunlight

resistant PVC, Oil Resistant PVC are available on special request. Also, special sheathing materials such as

LLDPE, MDPE, HDPE, LSF, CPE are available on request.

Fire Performance of Cable Sheaths :Cables can be supplied with special flame retardant PVC outer sheath to

comply with the flame test requirements of IEC 60332-3-22, IEC 60332-3-23 and IEC 60332-3-24, can also

supply cables with Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) material according to IEC 60502-1, BS 7211, BS 6724 or

other equivalent standards.
