BOOKLET
ARMOURED XLPE POWER CABLES (generally
to BS5467)
This range of cables is
for mains supply electricity, being steel wire armoured
they are suitable for external use and direct burial.
XLPE insulated booklet armoured cables benefit from superior
thermal and mechanical properties as compared to standard
PVC insulated booklet armoured cables.
XLPE
POWER CABLES (to BS5467 and in
accordance with IEC 502)
This
range of cables is for mains supply electricity, being
steel wire armoured they are suitable for external use
and direct burial. Cables with cross linked polyethylene
insulation have established themselves as extensively
superior to both polyethylene and PVC. Notably, they allow
greater current carrying capacity, higher overload and
short circuit performance. This can enable a smaller cable
to be used in comparison to PVC (where voltage drop is
not a consideration) thus resulting in a reduction in
cost.
