PVC Covered Conductor (BS 6485)

The conductors are stranded, circular compressed or uncompressed aluminum, copper, aluminum-alloy, ACSR etc., concentrically stranded and covered for PVC in black (type 8) and green(type 16).

Application
Two types of PVC-covered conductors for Overhead power lines.Type 8 is intended for use only where the operating voltage of the power lines does not exceed 650 V r.m.s.between any two conductors or 250 V r.m.s. between any conductor and earth. Type 16 is intended for use only where the operating voltage of the power line exceeds 650 V r.m.s between any two conductors or 250 V r.m.s. between any conductor and earth, but does not normally exceed 11 kV r.m.s. between conductors or 6.6 kV r.m.s. between any conductor and earth.

Construction
The conductors are stranded, circular compressed or uncompressed aluminum, copper, aluminum-alloy, ACSR etc., concentrically stranded and covered for PVC in black (type 8) and green(type 16).
