Application

IEC 60502-2 single-core AWA cable (6kV to 30kV) for power stations, substations, and industrial plants requiring mechanical protection in single-core AC circuits. Non-magnetic aluminum wire armor eliminates eddy current losses. Installation: direct burial, duct, or tray.

Core Strengths

Steel armor on single-core AC creates eddy currents, causing overheating and energy loss. Our non-magnetic AWA eliminates losses. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant. CE/TÜV/ISO. Factory direct.

Standard

IEC60502, SANS 1339, BS 6622, AS/NZS1429.1, NFC 33226, CSA C 68.5, ICEA S 93-639 , ICEA S 94-649

Construction

Conductor: Stranded copper (class 2)

Conductor screen: Semiconductive layer

Insulation: XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene)

Insulation screen: Semiconductive layer

Copper tape screen: Helically applied copper tape

Inner covering: PVC or PE bedding

Armor: Aluminum wire (AWA – non‑magnetic)

Outer sheath: PVC or PE (type ST2)

Features

Rated voltage: 6kV to 30kV (Uo/U up to 18/30kV)

XLPE insulation – 90°C continuous, 250°C short‑circuit

Non‑magnetic aluminum wire armor – eliminates eddy current losses in single‑core AC circuits

Copper tape screen – uniform electric field, corona suppression, fault return path

Lightweight and corrosion‑resistant armor

Ideal for power stations, substations, industrial plants

Installation: direct burial, ducts, cable trays, or aerial (with proper support)

100% factory tested to IEC 60502‑2
