    Shielded and Instrumentation Cable

    Uploaded by

    Chaitanya Shakya
    The document describes two types of cable constructions - unarmoured and armoured. Both use plain annealed copper conductors and insulation consisting of PVC or polyethylene. The main differences are that the armoured type includes an additional layer of aluminum/polyester tape and steel wire armouring [Type 2]. Technical specifications are provided for voltage rating, insulation resistance, capacitance levels, flame resistance, minimum bending radii, and mechanical properties like conductor sizes and weights. The cable can be used for voltages up to 300/500V and is rated to withstand test voltages of 1000V between conductors and screens/armour.
