300mm²) to BS EN 60228: 2005 (previously BS 6360).

Conductor Screen: Extruded semi-conducting XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) solidly bonded.

Insulation: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene).

Insulation Screen: Extruded semi-conducting XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene), solidly bonded and cold

strippable.

Separator: Semi conducting water blocking tape.

Screen: Copper wire screen, helically wound with equalising copper tape.

Separator: Semi conducting water blocking tape.

Sheath: Graphite coated MDPE type TS2.
