Product Details

Electricity for a very long time has been distributed to our premises through the overhead power transmission method and up to date it is still a method widely used. However, there are other creative inventions like underground power transmission method that is slowly taking over the busy and congested cities. It was wise for the use of underground cabling method to be considered especially in our congested urban areas. If you haven’t realized, population has been continually growing in most of our urban centers leading to a corresponding increase in settlement. Tall buildings in our urban areas limit the use of overhead power transmission and this is where the use of underground cables such as PowerNet 600V comes in.

PowerNet 600V cable comes as a bare compacted Class B copper conductor insulated with an ethylene propylene (EPR) and jacketed with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) which is a flame retardant with a thermoset. This cable has an operating voltage rating of up to 600 volts, meaning that it can support power transmission not exceeding 600V with a functioning temperature of up to 90 degrees Celsius. It is tested and approved worthy in accordance to UL International Listed standards such as the ASTM Class B and Flame Tests. It is clear that this cable is a top quality cable having complied with the required International Specifications.

Why go for PowerNet 600V cable?
EPR insulation of the copper conductors is very important as it creates a barrier between the live wire flowing in the current and the neutral wire. This barrier ensures that both live and neutral wire do not get into contact to cause unnecessary power blows that would in turn cause electric faults in your wiring system. A part from protecting the copper conductors, insulation also ensures that your life is not at risk when handling these cables. Simply because it protects you against electrocution, and thus an important factor to consider when out looking for cables to match up your standards.

You need a cable this PowerNet 600V cable in your wiring systems because it is jacketed with a special type of material. A Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacketing coat is flame retardant and does not contain traces of halogen thus do not burn easily. In case of fire outbreak, the LSZH jacketing produces less smoke hence inhibiting combustion giving you much time to move around and contact the fire extinguishers. I would advise that you make PowerNet 600V your cable of choice because such special features are not easy to come by.

Applications
This cable has a more advanced insulation and jacketing composite, which affirms its installation applications in underground electrical distribution systems.
