Specification

About:

• The Marine Tinned Copper Armoured Galvanized Steel Braid 600/1000V Power Cable is a durable, high-voltage cable designed for use in marine and offshore environments. It features stranded tinned copper conductors for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for the harsh conditions of the sea. The cable is protected by a galvanized steel braid armour, providing excellent mechanical protection against physical damage and ensuring longevity.

Also Known As:

• This cable may be referred to by various names highlighting its key features, such as:

• Marine Grade Armoured Power Cable: Emphasizing its suitability for marine environments and the protective armoured design.
• Tinned Copper Galvanized Steel Braid Cable: Focusing on its conductor material and the galvanized steel braid for additional protection.
• 600/1000V Offshore Power Cable: Indicating its voltage rating and intended use in offshore settings.

Application:

• Armoured cables for fixed wiring in ships and offshore units where circuit integrity is essential under fire conditions, e.g: safety and emergency lighting, fire pumps, shut down systems, communications systems, gas detectors, alarms, etc. For use in regularly occupied areas such as accommodation facilities, control rooms and computer suites. Any application where life may be endangered by smoke and noxious fumes and where vital, sensitive equipment may be damaged by acid forming gases.

Construction:

• In accordance with BS7917. Fire resisting properties, relevant to the internationally recognised test of IEC60331
• Conductor: Tinned annealed copper conductor. Stranded to BS EN 60228 Class 2 or flexible to BS EN 60228 Class 5
• Insulation: : Mica Glass Tape, EPR complying with BS7655 GP4
• Core Identification: The cores shall be identified by numbers unless specified otherwise
• Inner Sheath: Zero halogen rubber complying generally with BS7655
• Armour: Wire braid in the following optional materials:
- Galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10257-1.
- Tinned phosphor bronze to BS EN 12166.
- Copper to BS4109.
• Outer Sheath: Low smoke zero halogen type SW4 to BS7655 Section 2.6. Enhanced oil resistance, low smoke zero halogen, minimum tear resistance
• Voltage Rating: 600/1000 V
• Temperature Rating: 90°C maximum conductor operating temperature

Standards:

• This cable is designed and tested according to stringent international standards to ensure it meets the specific needs of marine and offshore environments. Standards may include:

• IEC 60092 Series: Electrical installations in ships.
• NEK 606: For offshore and marine applications, specifying requirements for fire resistance, halogen-free materials, and mud resistance.
• BS 6883: British standards for marine and offshore cables.

Features:

• High Voltage Rating: Designed for 600/1000V applications, making it suitable for a wide range of power distribution needs in marine and offshore settings.
• Corrosion Resistance: Tinned copper and galvanized steel materials ensure the cable's longevity and reliability in corrosive marine environments.
• Mechanical Protection: The armoured design with a steel braid shields the cable from physical damage, ensuring uninterrupted service in challenging conditions.
• Fire Retardant: Often constructed with materials that are fire retardant, reducing the risk of fire in hazardous environments.
• Flexibility: Despite its robust construction, the cable is designed to be flexible enough for easy installation in tight spaces and complex routing paths.
