IEC 60502-1 HYPRON® Armoured (SWA) 4 x 50

Applications

These power and control cables are used for electricity supply in low voltage installation system, in moist areas and where aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons may be present. They are well adapted to underground use in industrial applications where chemical and mechanical protections are needed (refinery areas, chemical plant...). Hypron® offers an alternative to conventional lead covered cable and is an environmental friendly solution.
