Cu/XLPE/CWS/PE - TRIPLEX Al/XLPE/CWS/PE - TRIPLEX

Uo/U - 6.35/11 kV; 19/33 kV BS 7870-4.10
The three single-core cables with insulation of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) factory bindled in TRIPLEX, are designed for transfer and distribution of electrical power with nominal voltage Uo/U 6.35/11 and 19/33 kV and frequen¬cy 50 Hz in urban and district electrical networks and for electrical supply of transformer's substations, small and medi¬um industrial plants.
 
They are suitable for use in distribution installations, electric power stations and industrial systems. The cables are for fixed assembly in lines with unlimited difference levels, indoor installations, in cable ducts, conduits and shafts, over shelves and grills directly underground in ditch and outdoor shelter.
