TECHNICAL INFORMATION
WALL THICKNESS AND ELECTRICAL FEATURES OF INSULATION Wall thickness of insulation is selected in accordance with the following parameters: * Operation voltage (300/500 V) * Mutual Capacity (wires) (nF/km) - PVC insulation : With Overall Screened Max. 130 nF/km With Individual and Overall Screened Max. 170 nF/km - PE and XLPE insulation : With Overall Screened With Individual and Overall Screened Max. 75 nF/km Max. 100 nF/km

* Insulation resistance of insulated cores (MXKm) - PVC insulation : 100 MXKm - SILICONE insulation : 300 MXKm - PE/XLPE insulation : 5000 MXKm CORE COLOUR ENCODING a) Individually unscreened and overall screened cables CORE PAIR TRIPLE : WHITE - Each core is numbered in order : BLACK / WHITE - Each core has same number : BLACK / WHITE / RED - Each core has same number

b) Individually and overall screened cables PAIR TRIPLE : In BLACK / WHITE pairs, numbered band : In BLACK / WHITE / RED triples, numbered band

Note : Core colour encoding is also made in accordance with BS 5308 CABLE STRUCTURE DEFINITIONS CORE PAIR TRIPLE : Consists of an insulated conductor : Consists of a stranded of two cores : Consists of a stranded of three cores

SCREENING Screen is used for decreasing or preventing electrical interferences described below * Preventing intermal electrical interferences caused by adjacent line crcuits inside the cable * Preventing electrical interferences in the cable caused by external power sources (motors, energy cables, machines running on HF power, HF radio waves.) Methods of decreasing internal electrical mixing and interference *Stranding of cable pairs and triples with different steps *Individual screening of cable pairs and triples The general structure of individual screening is in the following (ISCR) -Tinned copper earth core with polyester laminated aluminum tape Types of individual screening are as follows:
PiMF TiMF : Pair In Metal Foil (PSCR) : Triple In Metal Foil (TSCR)

Methods of decreasing external electrical mixing and interference (OSCR) * Braid copper wire, polyester laminated Al tape or overall screening made of copper braid is a good option for preventing external electrical interferences. * In overall screening, materials with high conductivity should be used.
