Product Description
PVC Covered Conductors are designed for various overhead power line infrastructures. AMG Cable provides two core types:Type 8 and Type 16 to meet different voltage requirements.
Application
Type 8 suits systems where line-to-line voltage ≤ 650V RMS or conductor-to-earth voltage ≤ 250V RMS.
Type 16 is ideal for higher-voltage needs: line-to-line voltage > 650V RMS or conductor-to-earth voltage > 250V RMS. Typically used in systems with line-to-line voltage ≤ 11kV RMS or conductor-to-earth voltage ≤ 6.6kV RMS.
Applicable Standard
BS 6485 for PVC-Covered Conductors For Overhead Power Lines
BS 215-1 for Aluminum Stranded Conductors
BS 215-2 for Aluminum Conductors, Steel-Reinforced
BS 3242 for Aluminum Alloy Stranded Conductors used in overhead power transmission
BS 7884 for Copper and Copper-Cadmium Stranded Conductors intended for overhead electric traction and power transmission systems
