INDOOR CABLES

Indoor Cables 1

INTRODUCTION

Building Wires are used for fixed indoor installations inside conduits and within walls. Building Wires with multi-cores can be used to connect a power supply to large loads such as air conditioning systems. Examples include: copper conductors with PVC insulation (NYA) and copper with PVC insulation and nylon jacketing (THHN).

In this catalogue, we cover all technical aspects of Energya Cables-SA Indoor Cables. We included design considerations such as type of insulation material, insulation thicknesses, sheath material, and sheath thicknesses. Cables electrical parameters such as conductor DC resistance and current ratings are included as well.

Energya Cables-SA Indoor Cables are manufactured based on international standards such as IEC 60227, BS 6004, and UL 83. We are also capable of manufacturing according to client requirements and needs.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Standards

The indoor cables described in this catalogue are all standard types, and their performances has been proved in operation.

Construction and tests are in accordance with the recommendation of IEC publications where applicable.

Control cables in accordance to other standards (e.g. BS, VDE, NEMA) can be manufactured upon customer’s request.

Variation in Production and Delivery Options

– The provided data is approximate and subject to manufacturing tolerance.– Delivery length tolerance is ± 5%– Other product sizes are available upon customer’s request.

Jacket Marking

Standard embossed outer jacket marking consisting of:1 – Name of manufacturer.2 – Type designation, size of conductor, rated voltage and standard.3 – Continuous length marking every meter.4 – Year of manufacture.

LAYING INFORMATION

Minimum Bending Radius During Installation

During laying, the bending radius should not be smaller than values given below.The radius depends on the outer diameter (Do) of the cable.

ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS OF THE CABLES

DC Resistance of Conductor

The Maximum DC resistance values of conductors at 20ºC are as per “IEC 60228” standard.DC resistance per unit length of the conductor at other conductor temperature is given by: R = Ro [ 1 + α20ºC (t – 20ºC)]Where :R = DC resistance at temperature t ºCΩ/kmRo = DC resistance at temperature 20ºC Ω/km (given in the relative tables for each type of cable)t = Conductor temperature ºCα20ºC = Temperature coefficient at 20ºC 1/ºCFor copper conductor α20ºC = 0.00393
