CAI-S 0,6/1 kV without Public Lighting

Application:

For urban and rural overhead secundary distribution networks, with voltages up to 1000 V.

Construction:

1. Conductor: Copper, class 2.

2. Insulation: Cross linked polyethylene XLPE.

3. Insulated Messenger: Galvanized stranded steel wire - XLPE.

Main characteristics:

Increased current capacity, high insulation resistance and lower inductive reactance than with CPI conductors, higher conductivity and lower energy loss, used in overhead distribution lines. Increased safety due to its mechanical strength and toughness of the insulation. Insulators are not necessary for installation. Resistance to abrasion, weather and sunlight.

Gauge:

From 16 mm² up to 70 mm².

Marking:

INDECO S.A. CAI-S 0,6/1 kV - (Nb. Cores x Section) + P(Messenger diameter) - Year - Sequential length.

Packing:

Non returnable wooden reels.

Colour:

Black, see core identification.
