  • Red copper conductor - class 1 or 2 according to IEC 60228 and according to sections
  • Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)
  • Inner sheath: thermoplastic
  • Reinforcement: two helical steel sheets (0.2 mm thick) overlapping
  • Outer sheath: special black PVC in RH + UV quality
Electrical characteristics:
  • Rated voltage:
    • 600/1000V AC
    • 900/1500V DC
  • Test voltage:
    • 3500 AC for 5 minutes

Installation
  • Without additional mechanical protection, in free air, these cables can be installed in a fixed position on walls or cable trays or other supports.
  • For direct laying underground without protection.
  • In hazardous areas BE3 must be installed with appropriate electrical protection. In this case, the permissible intensities of 15% must be reduced (see recommendations according to installation standard NF C 15-100 art. 424-8-BE3).
