Multipair Instrument Cables ESI 09-6 Issue 6

Applications

Multipair Instrument Cables ESI 09-6 Issue 6 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.

Construction

 

Conductor	Solid tinned annealed copper, sizes: 1/0.8mm(0.5mm2) to BS6360
Insulation	PVC (polyvinyl chloride) type 2 to BS7655
Pairing	Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
Colour code	See technical information
Binder tape	PETP transparent tape
Collective screen(optional)	Aluminum/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with a longitudinal 1/0.5mm to 1/0.8mm tinned copper drain wire
Bedding (for armoured cables)	PVC (polyvinyl chloride) to type TM 1 or 6 to BS EN 50363-4-1
