 |
Applications |
These cables are applied to connect
electrical instrumentation and communication
circuits in industrial processes controls,
refineries and gas plants, chemical
and pharmaceutical industries, power
stations and electrical networks, desalination
plants and steelworks, railway and
subway signal systems, etc.
The usual
operating voltage for the above mentioned
applications is 300 V. The armoured
versions are suitable for direct burial
application.
On request, the outer
sheaths are oil, solvent and hydrocarbon
resistant, suitable for chemical and
petrochemical environments.
Physical Characteristics
Conductors : bare annealed
electrolytic copper, 7 strands according
to IEC 60228 class 2 (when wishing
to increase corrosion resistance
and operating temperature level,
we cab supply, on request, tinned
copper conductors).
