A 25mm 4-core cable, such as the Recline brand cable often seen in Nigeria, is a type of electrical cable designed for power distribution.
Specifications
Key features and applications:
- Conductors: It typically contains four conductors, which are often made of high-conductivity copper or aluminum. The conductors have a cross-sectional area of 25mm².
- Insulation: The individual cores are insulated, commonly with durable PVC (polyvinyl chloride) material, to ensure electrical safety and resistance to heat, moisture, and abrasion.
- Construction: The cable can come in non-armoured or armoured variations. Non-armoured versions are suitable for indoor use or environments without significant mechanical stress, while armoured versions feature steel wire armouring for robust protection in industrial or outdoor underground installations.
- Voltage Rating: These cables typically have a voltage rating suitable for low to medium-voltage power circuits, such as 600/1000V.
- Applications: It is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings for powering equipment, switchboards, generators, and inverters. It can be installed in conduits, run underground, or used in overhead applications depending on the specific type (armoured/non-armoured).
