Laying Conditions: Ambient air temperature of 40 ºC, Ambient ground temperature of 35 ºC, Soil thermal resistivity of 1.5 K·m/W and Depth of
laying of 0.5 m. In case of different laying conditions, appropriate correction (derating) factors from Annex C have to be applied to cater for the
actual installation conditions.
Multi-Core Cables, with Stranded Aluminum Conductors,
PVC Insulated and PVC Sheathed
APPLICATIONS
These cables are intended for fixed installations, indoors and outdoors, in low voltage electricity systems. They are
normally used for the distribution of electrical energy in urban networks, power or switching stations, industrial
plants, as well as in switchgears, in applications where there is no risk of mechanical damage.
