These cables are low voltage (LV) power and control cables rated at 0.6/1 kV, designed with a solid or stranded aluminium conductor, PVC insulation, galvanized steel wire armour (SWA), and a PVC outer sheath. They are used for fixed installations requiring cost-effective and corrosion-resistant cable solutions with moderate mechanical protection.
This type of cable is ideal for:
Low voltage power distribution systems
Underground installations (direct burial)
Cable trays, ducts, and building wiring
Industrial and commercial power supply
Cost-sensitive projects where copper is economically unfeasible
Residential and commercial buildings
Substations
Infrastructure projects
Powering lighting, HVAC, or motors with moderate mechanical stress
| Standard | Description |
