PVC Insulated PVC Sheathed 3C+E Unarmored Cable, 0.6/1kV – AS/NZS 5000.1

Low Voltage Power Cables
Description

PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed 3 Cores + E Unarmored Cable, 0.6/1kV

Product Overview

The PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed 3 Cores + E Unarmored Cable is designed for low voltage power distribution in buildings and industrial plants. It is suitable for mains, submains, and subcircuits, both unenclosed and enclosed in conduit, as well as for direct burial or installation in underground ducts where the cable is not subject to mechanical damage.

The cable features plain annealed copper conductors, PVC V-90 insulation, and a PVC 5V-90 sheath. It is manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 5000.1, AS/NZS 3008, AS/NZS 1125, and IEC 60502-1.

Applications

These cables are used for mains, submains, and subcircuits unenclosed, enclosed in conduit, buried direct, or in underground ducts for buildings and industrial plants where not subject to mechanical damage.
