This is a low-voltage power cable designed for fixed installations with mechanical protection. It consists of:
Stranded aluminum conductor
PVC insulation
Aluminum Wire Armour (AWA) - suitable for single-core cables
PVC outer sheath
This type of cable is generally referred to as AL/PVC/AWA/PVC.
This cable is widely used in:
Power distribution networks (0.6/1 kV)
Fixed installations requiring mechanical protection
Indoor and outdoor installations, including in cable ducts, on cable trays, or directly buried (with suitable backfill)
Single-core cable systems carrying AC current (AWA avoids magnetic losses)
Suitable for use in commercial, industrial, and utility installations
Not suitable for flexible or mobile applications
Manufactured in accordance with the following standards:
IEC 60502-1 - Power cables with extruded insulation and their accessories for rated voltages of 1 kV and 3 kV
IEC 60228 - Conductors of insulated cables (Class 2 - stranded aluminum)
IEC 60332-1 - Flame retardant test (optional or on request)
IEC 60754 / IEC 61034 - Halogen content and smoke emission (if specified)
