0.6/1kV 3 Core PVC Insulated Unarmored Cable – 2 Core + Earth Power Cable

PVC Insulated Flexible Cables
Description

Product Overview

This 0.6/1kV PVC insulated, PVC sheathed unarmored cable with two cores and an earth conductor is designed for mains, submains, and subcircuits in buildings and industrial plants. Suitable for installation unenclosed, in conduit, buried direct, or in underground ducts where mechanical damage is not expected. Manufactured to Australian/New Zealand standards, it ensures reliable power distribution with V-90 PVC insulation and 5V-90 PVC sheath.

Applications

  • Mains, submains, and subcircuit wiring

  • Unenclosed installations

  • Enclosed in conduit

  • Direct burial

  • Underground ducts

  • Buildings and industrial plants (not subject to mechanical damage)

Standards

  • AS/NZS 5000.1

  • AS/NZS 3008

  • AS/NZS 1125

  • IEC 60502-1
