When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for applications requiring high flexibility or frequent movement, such as power cords for portable appliances. It is also not intended for use in environments where it may be exposed to temperatures exceeding its rated thermal limits or in areas with specific chemical hazards not covered by its PVC sheath specifications.

Key specifications

• Conductor material: Copper
• Number of cores: 1
• Cross-sectional area: 50 mm²
• Rated voltage: 0.6/1kV
• Insulation material: PVC
• Sheath material: PVC
• Installation type: Fixed

How to use

The cable should be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with local electrical regulations and standards. When burying the cable directly in the ground, ensure it is placed at an appropriate depth and protected with suitable bedding material to prevent mechanical damage. For installations in ducts, ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive pulling tension that could compromise the integrity of the insulation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cross-sectional area for your specific load requirements
• Ensure the cable length matches your installation distance
• Check local building codes regarding the use of PVC-sheathed cables
• Confirm the environmental conditions of the installation site

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the cable is protected against mechanical stress and that all connections are made using appropriate terminals to prevent overheating and ensure a secure electrical contact.
