These are low-voltage (0.6/1 kV), multi-core power cables consisting of:
Stranded copper conductors (high conductivity),
XLPE insulation (Cross-Linked Polyethylene),
Galvanized steel tape armour (helically applied), and
A protective outer sheath (PVC or LSZH).
The galvanized steel tape armour (GSTA) provides moderate mechanical protection and enhances electromagnetic shielding, making these cables ideal for applications where some mechanical protection and noise immunity are needed, but where flexibility and compact size are also priorities.
These cables are used in:
Low voltage power distribution systems for industrial, commercial, and utility environments.
Fixed installations in ducts, trays, and conduits.
Indoor and underground applications, where there is limited mechanical stress (not for direct burial unless in protective conduit).
Installations requiring electromagnetic shielding to protect sensitive equipment (e.g., control panels, instrumentation).
Not recommended for high mechanical impact environments or direct burial without additional protection.
