Armoured Hydrocarbon Resistant Power 1kV Cable

The Oil & Gas industry requires cables used in areas classified as Class I Division II hazardous to provide protection against the flammable vapours and gases that may be present. This low voltage PVC sheathed 1kV armoured power cable is resistant to both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. The same construction also serves as a barrier to moisture ingress. Additionally, the cable is armoured to provide a robust mechanical protection - aluminium wire armour (AWA) for single cores and steel wire armour (SWA) for multicores.

This hydrocarbon resistant armoured cable is available in both single and multicores, and the XLPE insulation allows for a maximum conductor operating temperature of +90oC. Standard temperature range is -20oC to +60oC. It is designed with both external and internal installation in mind, suitable for cable ducts and direct burial, and is commonly used in switching stations and industrial plants. Other hydrocarbon resistant cables include the THHN-THWN-2, TFN screened, XHHW-2 cables and the MUD-resistant cables manufactured in accordance with NEK 606. As with all industries and installations, technical support is available at all stages.
