IEC 60502-1 Cables

600/1000V, XLPE Insulated and Lead Sheathed Cables according to IEC 60502-1 (armoured)

Application:

These IEC 60502-1 cables are used for electricity supply in low voltage installation system, They are suitable for installation in indoors and outdoors, in cable ducts, under ground, in power and switching stations, local energy distributions, industrial plants, where there is no risk of mechanical damage. The lead sheath brings an enhanced resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons.
