PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed & Overall Screened Instrumentation Cables (Single -triple)
APPLICATION
For transmission of analogue and digital signals in instrument and control systems; allowed for use in zone 1 and zone 2, group II, classified areas (IEC 79-14), not allowed for direct connection to low impedance sources, e.g. public mains electricity supply. Recommended for indoor and outerdoor installation, on racks, trays, in conduits, in dry and wet locations; not for direct buiral. Recommended for use as fire protection messure for people and important material assets.
STANDARDS
Basic design to EN 50288-7

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
- Conductor: Annealed copper solid or plain copper stranded to IEC 60228 Class 2.
- Insulation: PVC compound as per EN 50290-2-21..
- Triple: Three conductors twisted to form a triple
- Lay-up: Triples laid up in layers of optimum pitch
- Separator: Polyester tape
- Overall Screen: Aluminium/polyester tape with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm2
- Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound as per EN 50290-2-22. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
COLOUR CODE
- Insulation: Black / White / Red, continuously numbered on white core(1, 2..)for multitriples.
- Outer Sheath: Black or blue for intrinsically safe systems
