Multipair Instrument Cables ESI 09-6 Issue 5

Applications

These light current control cables are intended primarily for use with control, indication and alarm equipment for switchgear and similar power apparatus in power stations and substations where the nominal voltage does not exceed 150V d.c. or 110V a.c.The cables are also suitable for telemetry applications where large conductor size are required. An optional collective aluminum tape screen can be provided. In case if the installation environment is prone to flooding or prolonged period of dampness, PE insulation should be considered as an alternative to PVC.
