LV CABLES
Low Voltage Cables are used to supply power to large motors and industrial equipment in both residential and industrial settings.
At Riyadh Cables, we produce Low Voltage Cables in both PVC and XLPE insulations of copper and aluminium, with armoured and un-armoured designs, and in single or multi-core constructions.
The performance and load specifications of PVC and XLPE insulated cables determine the specific use of Low Voltage Cables. PVC insulated Low Voltage Cables may be used for electrical power, lighting and wiring for residential and administrative office buildings. XLPE insulated Low Voltage Cables are ideally suited to industrial applications, with an operating temperature of 90⁰C. Our Low Voltage Cables are manufactured to IEC 60502-1 specifications.
In addition to the regular range of Low Voltage Cables, we are also able to supply Low Voltage Cables with special flame retardant PVC Outer Sheathing to comply with the flame retardant test requirements outlined in IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3-22, IEC 60332-3-23 or IEC 60332-3-24. We can also manufacture cables with low smoke halogen free (LSHF) material (type ST8) as per IEC 60502-1.
