| APPLICATION | This cable is primarily used for main power supply such as in switchgears and power stations. It can be installed in cable trenches, cable ducts and cable trunking. The armoured cable is ideal for ground emplacement if a higher electrical or mechanical protection is required. |
| VOLTAGE RATING |
600/1000V |
| CONSTRUCTION | Plain annealed copper, PVC insulated, unarmoured or aluminum wires armoured, PVC sheathed cable. |
| INSULATION COLOUR |
Red or Black |
| SHEATH COLOUR |
Grey or as per order |
