Characteristic features

•  Sheath colour black, resistant to UV radiation.
•  No sealing ends are required for installation in dry rooms.

Installation Notes

•  The cables shall be laid and operated such that the characteristics are not impaired.
•  The current carrying capacity for operating conditions as specified according to VDE 0298 part 2 shall be observed, such as grouping with other cables, external sources of heat, specific resistance to heat from the ground etc.
•  Installation on firm and smooth floors of the ditch, free of stones and embedding in sand or soil free of stones.
•  Attention shall also be paid to tectonic movements, oscillations, vibration, tensile forces, bending radius and the temperature range for installation, as well as short-circuit currents, especially with single-core cables.
•  Protection against mechanical damage and chemical effects.
•  Refer to DIN VDE 0298 part 1 for additional information.

Durability

•  Chemical resistance of PVC refer also to the Table of Technical Guidelines.
