0.6/1kV EPR Insulated Marine Power Cable
The standard low-voltage shipboard power cable for feeders, distribution boards and auxiliary circuits, built to IEC 60092-353 with a halogen-free sheath option.
Construction and performance
This cable is the low-voltage workhorse of a shipboard installation. Tinned copper conductors resist corrosion in a salt-laden atmosphere, EPR insulation stays flexible down to −40 °C and tolerates engine-room vibration, and the halogen-free sheath option satisfies the fire-safety concept of accommodation and public spaces. The construction follows IEC 60092-353, which fixes conductor class, insulation wall, sheath thickness and the flame-propagation performance that the class surveyor will check.
Construction
- Tinned copper conductor, class 2 stranded to IEC 60228
- EPR insulation to IEC 60092-351
- Cores laid up with fillers and a binder tape
- SHF1, SHF2 or LSZH sheath to IEC 60092-359
- Optional steel wire or steel tape armour
- Numbered cores or colour identification to specification
Applications
- Main switchboard feeders
- Engine-room auxiliary circuits
- Deck and hull wiring
- Lighting and small-power distribution
