Type 1 Machine Cable – 1.1/1.1kV Screened Control Cable – V90-HT PVC Insulated

Machinery & Equipment Mining Cables
Description

Product Overview

Type 1 Machine Cable is typically used for interconnection of control boxes or motors on non-mobile or fixed apparatus. This cable is specifically designed for applications where exposure to heat is not a primary concern but where added mechanical strength and electrical screening are required for reliable performance in industrial environments.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Mechanical Strength: Engineered with added mechanical reinforcement for demanding fixed apparatus applications.

  • Screened Construction: Tinned annealed copper wire screening interwoven with high tensile poly-yarn provides effective electromagnetic interference protection.

  • High Temperature Rating: Rated for continuous operation up to 90°C with V90-HT PVC insulation.

  • Flexible Conductors: Class 5 stranded tinned annealed copper conductors for ease of installation and termination.

  • Gas Group 1 Compliance: Meets AS/NZS60079.1 requirements for hazardous area applications (Gas Group 1).

  • Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332-1 for flame propagation resistance.

Construction Details

  1. Conductor: Tinned annealed copper wire, Class 5 stranding for flexibility and corrosion resistance.

  2. Insulation: V90-HT PVC (High Temperature PVC) - Rated for 90°C operation, providing reliable electrical insulation in elevated temperature environments.

  3. Screening: Tinned annealed copper wire interwoven with high tensile poly-yarn, offering both electromagnetic shielding and mechanical reinforcement.

  4. Outer Sheath: 5V-90 PVC - Heavy duty PVC sheath rated for 90°C, providing robust protection against mechanical damage and environmental exposure.

  5. Core Identification: White cores with black numbering for easy identification and termination.
