A 35mm 4 core cable is a type of electrical cable used for power transmission and distribution systems in a wide range of applications. This cable features four conductors, each with a cross-sectional area of 35mm².
Specifications
Key Characteristics and Uses
- Application: Commonly used in industrial, commercial, and residential settings, including power stations, construction sites, and for supplying mains voltage to multiple devices.
- Environments: Suitable for outdoor use, underground installations, and demanding environments due to its robust construction.
- Voltage Rating: Typically rated for voltages such as 600/1000V or 450/750V, depending on the specific type and manufacturer.
Typical Construction (Armoured Variant)
The construction of a 35mm 4 core armoured cable generally includes the following components:
- Conductors: Plain annealed stranded copper conductors.
- Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation for each core.
- Bedding: A layer of PVC bedding.
- Armour/Protection: Steel wire armouring provides mechanical protection and can also act as a circuit protective conductor (CPC) or earth.
- Sheath/Jacket: An outer sheath of PVC for further durability and resistance to elements like chemicals, oils, and water.
