IEC60502-1 AL-XLPE 3kV Cables

The IEC60502-1 AL-XLPE cables with rated voltage 1.8/3kV are lightweight power distribution cables suitable for grid networks and connecting equipment. These are the higher voltage versions of the AL-XLPE 0.6/1kV cables. 

With the Cross-linked Polyethylene providing for a maximum conductor operating temperature of +90oC, these cables are suited to numerous industry applications, most notably solar farms and renewable energy projects, and with a choice of sheathing materials they are also well-suited to different environmental challenges and installation designs. 

The MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) sheathed cable - AL/XLPE/MDPE - is best suited to external installation, whether buried, in containment, or open to the elements. The cable is UV-stable and the MDPE is both abrasion resistant and offers the best protection against water ingress.

The PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheathing - AL/XLPE/PVC and AL/XLPE/LSZH respectively - are suitable for both internal and external applications, although the LSZH in particular would be more commonly specified internally as it offers additional benefits in the event of fire, over above the fact both are flame retardant.

The PVC and LSZH cables will be CPR compliant - please speak to a member of the team if there is a specific CPR Euroclassification you need to achieve for your project.
