These are low voltage (0.6/1 kV), multi-core power cables designed with:
Stranded aluminium conductors (Class 2),
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation,
Galvanized steel tape armour (GSTA) for mechanical protection, and
A durable PVC outer sheath.
PVC insulated and sheathed cables are cost-effective, robust, and easy to install. The galvanized steel tape armour provides moderate protection against mechanical impact and offers basic resistance to rodent attack.
These cables are used in:
Power distribution networks for residential, commercial, and industrial installations.
Fixed installations in trays, ducts, and conduits.
Underground installations where only moderate mechanical protection is needed.
Environments requiring low-cost, medium-durability cable solutions.
Not suitable for environments with high temperatures or severe mechanical stress.
