Low Voltage Power Cables7
Description

IEC 60502-1 Compliant AWA XLPE/PVC Armoured Cable (0.6/1kV)

Product Overview

Designed for versatile power distribution in demanding environments, this single-core aluminum wire armoured (AWA) cable combines XLPE insulation with PVC sheathing for reliable performance in diverse installation conditions. Manufactured to international standard IEC 60502-1:2004, it delivers robust power transmission for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Robust Armouring: AWA (Aluminium Wire Armour) provides mechanical protection while remaining non-magnetic - ideal for EMI-sensitive applications

  • Thermal Performance: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation enables higher current ratings and 90°C operational temperature

  • Environmental Resistance: PVC bedding and sheath offer moisture, chemical, and UV resistance

  • Installation Flexibility: Suitable for direct burial, ducting, indoor, and outdoor use

  • Rated Voltage: 600/1000V (U₀/U) for power networks

  • Conductor: Plain annealed stranded copper (Class 2 stranding)

Product Structure:

  1. Conductor: Plain annealed copper, Class 2 stranded (circular/compacted), brown identification

  2. Insulation: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)

  3. Bedding: PVC layer

  4. Armour: AWA (Aluminium Wire Armour) - non-magnetic

  5. Outer Sheath: Black PVC (Polyvinyl-Chloride)

AWA XLPE PVC Armoured Power Cable | 0.6/1kV IEC 60502 | Aluminum Wire Armour

Material Advantages:

  • XLPE Insulation: Superior thermal endurance (90°C), high dielectric strength, and aging resistance

  • PVC Protection: Mechanical robustness, moisture resistance, and cost-effectiveness

  • AWA Armour: Lightweight corrosion resistance compared to steel, non-magnetic properties

Applications:

Ideal for fixed installations requiring durable power transmission:
• Power distribution networks (primary/secondary)
• Industrial plant wiring & machinery supply
• Renewable energy connections (solar/wind farms)
• Infrastructure projects (street lighting, tunnel electrification)
• Direct burial in ground without additional conduit
• Cable duct systems & outdoor risers
