Drinking Water Cable 600 metres - 1.5mm² to 300mm²
Description
This drinking water cable which is often called a submersible pump cable, is a durable, waterproof electrical cable designed to power pumps which are permanently submerged in water, especially for drinking water systems. The cable is constructed with class 5 flexible copper conductors, EPR insulation and a special XLPE outer sheath. The cable is resistant to water, chemicals, and abrasion.
It is rated AD8 for water resistance and designed for permanent submersible use in deep wells, boreholes, and industrial clean water installations. The cable is suitable for installation at depths up to 600 meters. Drinking water cable has WRAS approval (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) and meets standards like ACS, KTW, ensuring it's safe for contact with potable (drinking) water.
It is generally used for standard submersible pumps for drinking water, depuration and chlorination systems, electrical installations in manufacturing, processing and preserving systems of drinks and foodstuff, swimming pool lightings, and other water treatment operation and is specifically designed and approved for contact with drinking water as it does not support microbial growth, or affect the taste, appearance, transparency or colour of water.
