CONSTRUCTION

ConductorRound wire of annealed high conductivity copper
InsulationEach conductor is insulated with solid PE
QuaddingFour insulated conductors stranded to form a star quad.
Laying UpThe quads are assembled to form a symmetrical core with a right hand lay. Polyethylene strings of required diameter may be used as fillers, if necessary.
Filling & core wrappingThe cable core is fully filled with water -resistant compound and wrapped with polyethylene.
Moisture BarrierAluminium tape coated with co-polymer on both sides is applied longitudinally over the cable core with a specified overlap.
SheathingThe screened cable core is sheathed with black polythene compound as per BS:6234.
Screening & protectionThe cable core with inner sheath is surrounded by a reasonably close fitted screen of Aluminium in the form of wires/ strips . The aluminium screen is wrapped with a single layer of woven tape impregnated with Barium chromate with overlap.
Intermediate sheathFurther protection of screening is provided by extruded PVC/PE sheath over screening.
ArmouringArmouring with two applications of Galvanized steel tape each applied helically with a specified gap.
JacketingThe armoured cable is finally jacketed with black PVC/PE compound.
