DC single core aluminium XLPE MDPE power cable

Description

Single core class 2 aluminium power cable for use in low voltage DC power distribution systems with nominal voltage of 750V/1000v AC (1.2kV DC) between Live and earth / neutral or *1.8kV between 2 live conductors. . They come in 2 variants, black, or black with a red stripe for easy identification.

*Extract from IEC60502-1

• Cables rated 1kV (Um= 1.2 kV) AC which are designed and tested in accordance with IEC 60502-1 can also be used in DC distribution systems having their nominal voltages 750V DC (with a maximum of 900V DC) between a live conductor and neutral/earth.
• Or greater than or equal to 1.5kV DC (with a maximum 1.8kV DC) between two live conductors.
