IEC 60502-2 Armoured (LC-SWA) Fire retardant

- Power cables 3.6/6 (7.2) kV, 6/10 (12) kV, 8.7/15 (17.5) kV, 12/20 (24) kV, 18/30 (36) kV
- With lead sheath (LC)
- Armoured with galvanized steel wires (SWA) or aluminium wires (AWA)
- Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons resistant

Description
Applications
These power cables are used for electricity supply in medium voltage
installation system. They are well adapted to underground use in industrial
applications, in moist areas, where hydrocarbon and mechanical protections
are needed.The lead cover brings an enhanced resistance to aromatic
hydrocarbons.

Design
Conductor:
Stranded bare copper (class 2)
Semi conductor

Standards

Insulation:

International IEC 60228;

IEC 60332-3-22 Cat.A; IEC 60502-2

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)

Semi conductor
Screen:
Copper tape
Bedding (optional):
An inner sheath acting as a filler with practically zero thickness
Inner sheath:
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Lead cover (lead sheath)
Bedding sheath (intermediate sheath):
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Armour:
Galvanized steel wires (SWA) or aluminium wires (AWA) for 1 core cable
Outer sheath:
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Colour: red. Other colour on request

Core identification
1 core: natural
