3.2. Insulation
4. The insulation of instrumentation and control cable shall be extruded layer of Polyvinyl
Chloride (PVC) A compound complying with IEC 60502-1 (Rated Voltage 0.6/1kV) or
BS EN 50288-7 (Rated Voltage 300/500V).
5. The minimum thickness at any point shall not fall below 90% of the nominal value by
more than 0.1 mm.
5.1. Laying-up and fillers
Pair type cable : Two cores insulated shall be twisted together to form a pair with
suitable lay.
Triad type cable : Three cores insulated shall be twisted together to form a triad
with suitable lay.
Cable make-up of pairs, triads shall be assembled with suitable direction of lay. Where
necessary Non-Hygroscopic filler may be used to give the completed cable substantially
circular cross-section.

5.2. Shield or Screen

shielded with Aluminium mylar tape (Alu. PET). Alu. PET shall be applied with the
metallic sidedown in electrical contact with a minimum 7/0.25 mm tinned copper drain
wire.

b. Overall shield.
An Alu. PET with 100% coverage shall be applied over the assembly of cores in
electrical contact with a minimum 7/0.25 mm tinned copper drain wire.

5.3. Inner sheath

The inner sheath shall be an extruded layer of black PVC complying with IEC 60502-1
or BS EN 50288-7.
The minimum thickness at any point shall not fall below the value given in the attached
1
till 5. by more than 20% + 0.2mm.

5.4. Armoured
The armoured type of cable covered use galvanized round steel wire armour (SWA).

5.5. Outer sheath

The outer sheath shall be an extruded layer of black PVC/ST1 Flame Retardant Low
Smoke compound with Anti Termite and Anti Rodent complying with IEC 60502-1 or BS
EN 50288-7.
The minimum thickness at any point shall not fall below the value given in the attached
1 till 5. by more than 20% + 0.2mm.

6. CORE IDENTIFICATION
a. For core system of cable shall be identified by color : White with Black numbering
printed.
b. For pairs system of cable shall be identified by color : Black and White with
numbering for Multi Pairs
