Product reliability is starting from the time of product design to fit for the intended
application and environmental conditions to the selection of “Imported Cable Grade
raw materials , because if copper is not conductor grade with 100% conductivity,
cable will have less conductivity and greater resistance which means that much of
electric energy flowing in from the mains towards user’s outlets will be wasted and
will cause increased electricity bills” and its testing on 3-stages, on incoming ,during
process and after complete production before dispatch to logistic or customers.

INSULATION
Each core conductor is insulated by extruded plastic material as will follow; the
insulation thickness is selected based on the designated voltage rate complying with
IEC 60502-1 & BS 5467 suitable for 0.6/1.0 KV and above.
The insulation integrity is controlled online by an AC spark tester with test methods
specified in BS EN 62230 and using test voltages specified in BS5099.

• Insulation Material:
Insulation material is selected to match the desired customer requirements and
customer specification.

• Standard Polyvinyl chloride type (PVC/A 70 oC) complying with

In special cases when cables are to be used under continuous sunlight the insulation
is
Covered by Ultra-violet (UV) resistant Master batch by adding suitable UV proved
additive.
This protects the insulation from deterioration when exposed to continuous sunlight,
the UV
Resistance performance of the Insulation is assessed by using the Arc Xenon test as
per UL
1581

CABLE ASSEMBLY
The Insulated cores are laid up together to form the laid-up cable cores. Extruded
suitable polymer compound or non-hygroscopic polypropylene filler is applied (when
required) between laid up cores to provide a circular shape to the cable.
Polypropylene tape(s) or PETP (Polyester) tape(s) is used as a barrier tape over the
laid-up cores. Such tape(s) will bind the cores together and prevents them from
opening out, acts as a separator between different polymers used in a cable and
works as a heat barrier between the cores and the extruded bedding.

BEDDING
It is like inner sheath or inner jacket, which serves as a bedding under cable armoring
to protect the laid-up cores and as a separation sheath. The bedding is an extruded
PVC Type 9 Compound as per BS 7655-4.2.
ARMOURING
The cable intended for tray application does not require armor in general, while it is
recommended to have an armor for the cables intended for Direct Burial application.
The armor provides mechanical protection against crushing forces. Armor also can
serve as an Earth Continuity Conductor (ECC). The armoring type could be:
• One layer of Galvanized Round Steel Wire to BS EN 10257 is applied helically over
the bedding.
• Aluminum wire armoring for a single Core Cable acts as nonmagnetic armor.

OUTERSHEATH (OUTER JACKET)


• It is the outer protection part of the cable against the surrounding environment
• Several materials can be used as over sheath based on the intended application

o General purpose PVC Type ST2 compound as specified in IEC 60502-1, or its
equivalent PVC Type 9 to BS 7655-4.2.

o High density Polyethylene HDPE compound fulfill and exceed the


requirements of Type ST7 IEC 60502-1 for cables that require to be abrasion
resistant, protected against water ingress and strong Environmental Stress
Crack Resistant (ESCR).

o Halogen Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) compounds complying with ST8


to IEC 60502-1 or Types LTS 1 & LTS 4 to BS 7655: section 6 for cables
installed in intrinsically safe locations and where the cables require to
be low smoke, low fume and low toxic gas emitting in case of fire.
Cables to this category are complying with the requirements of BS 6724.

o The standard sheath color is Black, meanwhile other colors such as


Red and Light Blue can also be provided as per customer request and in this
case suitable UV proved additive is added to the Master batch to ensure
resistance to sunlight

o When the cable is required to be ant termite / ant vermin, a special additive
is added to the sheathing compound.

o All cables produced at Coppergat Cables Company with PVC or Halogen free
jackets are complying with the flame-retardant test to IEC 60332-1. Whenever
a requirement for more severe tests as IEC 60332-3 is needed, a jacketing
compound with Oxygen index value more than 30% will be used.

INSTALLATION

Cables with both PVC and XLPE insulation are suitable for indoor and outdoor
applications. For more information Customers may refer to BS 7671 IEE wiring

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

RECOMMENDATIONS

COPPERGAT’s recommendations to achieve the optimal cable services:


• Armored cables are not recommended for tray applications, as they are heavy in
weight and extra loads are exerted on the tray.
• Unarmored cables are not recommended for direct buried applications, except if the
quoted cables are designed and produced to pass direct burial test requirements
(example, direct burial tests described in UL 1277 and UL 1581).

A PVC jacket is a very stable material against a wide range of chemicals, While HDPE
jacketed cables can serve better in wet locations.

A recommended minimum bending radius is included in Table 2, the cable jacket


may be damaged if the cable is bended in diameters less than these
Values.

Flexible Control and instrumentation Cables
For generations people have tried to build machines and plants which take on
different functions. To raise, sink, slide, drill, transport and much more, and have
attained fantastic results.
Today we control, inform, weld, pack and transport automatically by electric control
and data cables.
These cables are necessary to ensure a frictionless flow of data and material. We are
able to offer most of these cables for many applications.
This catalogue feature Single and Multi-pair cables utilized in communication services and the
interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments especially in and around process
plants. In addition, these cables are also suitable for process control, monitoring applications
and telemetering applications which require the interconnection of electrical instruments and
control equipment for indoor or underground burials.
If you cannot find a suitable cable in our catalogue, we can fabricate this special
cable on request or maybe we can offer you a similar cable from our stock.

VARIOUS TYPES OF INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL CABLES


FOUND IN THIS CATALOGUE
Overall Screened Cores (Armored & Non-Armored):
Cables for this range are customarily used in the process industries (steel,
pharmaceutical, petrochemical, paper, mining, etc.) providing control
connections for DC or AC networks with an option of a fixed potential, with
respect to earth. Applications are found in value and motor control units,
auxiliary station controls, circuit breaker indications and operations.

Overall Screened Pairs /Thread (Armored & Non-Armored):


The cables mentioned here are overall screened to oppose static & crosstalk noises
ensuring precise and flawless signals to be transmitted. These cables are
recommended where signals transmitted are in excess of 100 millivolts in
instrumentation and control applications. Cables of this classification are mainly used
for interconnections between sensors, monitors and instruments where 100% shield
effectiveness is ensured through our Aluminum foil/PET shield with drain wires.
Instrumentation cables that are used for Indoor applications are unarmored and
cables for direct underground burials are those with steel wire armoring.

Individual & Overall Screened Pairs /Threads (Armored & Non-Armored):


Where noise rejection is essential, individually shielded pairs or triads with an overall
shield are recommended. To provide optimal protection from crosstalk and common
mode interference, individual pair & thread shields are separated from each other
and each contains independent drain wires for grounding. These cables also come
with an overall shield for additional electrostatic noise protection.
The various types of Instrumentation Cables manufactured may be insulated with
our standard PVC, XLPE materials or with our Eco-friendly Non- Toxic Low Smoke
Zero Halogen Flame Retardant materials with or without Fire Resistant
characteristics.
Additionally, our instrumentation cables are available with standard or reduced
flame propagation and low acid gas emission PVC sheaths as well as Low Smoke Zero
Halogen Flame Retardant materials.
Our instrumentation cables are generally manufactured to BS EN50288-7. Should
you need alternative constructions for different conductor sizes or pair
combinations, we can also manufacture to your specific needs, Installation and
operating requirements.

Application

These cables are used for medium mechanical stresses with free movement without tensile stress or forced
movements in dry, moist and wet rooms but not suitable for open air. These are designed as control and
connecting cables to machines, tool machineries, conveyor belts and production lines. These cables are not
affected to the chemical influences and wet rooms, specially used for machines in breweries, bottling plants and
car washing stations.
These cables may be allowed to move once installed provided that the cables are not mechanically stressed
during movement.
The interconnection of parts of machines used for manufacturing purposes including machine tools where some
degree of protection against electromagnetic interference is required.
EMC = Electromagnetic compatibility
To optimize the EMC features we recommend a large round contact of the copper braiding on both ends.

Rating Factor for Ambient Temperature
The current-carrying capacities in this work standard are based upon the following reference ambient temperatures:
1) For non-sheathed and sheathed cables in air, irrespective of the installation method: 30°C
2) For buried cables, either directly in the soil or in ducts in the ground: 20°C

When the ambient temperature in the intended location of the non-sheathed or sheathed cables differs from the reference ambient temperature, please refer to the appropriate rating
factors as below table (Table B1.1 and B1.2).

Rating factor for direct buried cables 1.88 1.62 1.5 1.28 1.12 1 0.90
Note:
1. The rating factors given have been averaged over the range of conductor sizes and types of installation included in the relevant tables
in this appendix. The overall accuracy of rating factors is within ± 5%.
2. The rating factors are applicable to cables drawn into buried ducts for cables laid direct in the ground the rating factors for thermal
resistivities less than 2 5 K.m/W will be higher. Where more precise values, are required they may be calculated by methods given in BS
7769 (BS IEC 60287).
3. The rating factors are applicable to ducts buried at depths of up to 0.8 m.
APPENDIX BLUE
Notes:
1. These factors are applicable to uniform groups of cables, equally loaded.
2. Where horizontal clearances between adjacent cables exceeds twice their overall diameter, no rating factor need be applied.
3. The same factors are applied to: - groups of two or three single-core cables:
- multicore cables.
4. If a system consists of both two- and three-core cables, the total number of cables is taken as the number of circuits, and the corresponding
factor is applied to the tables for two loaded conductors for the two-core cables, and to the Tables for three loaded conductors for the three-
core cables.
5. If a group consists of n single-core cables it may either be considered as n/2 circuits of two loaded conductors or n/3 circuits of three loaded
conductors.
6. The rating factors given have been averaged over the range of conductor sizes and types of installation included in Tables of Appendix-RED,
the overall accuracy of tabulated values is within 5%.
7. For some installations and for other methods not provided for in the above table, it may be appropriate to use factors calculated for specific
cases, see for example Table C3.1 to C3.2.
8. When cables having different conductor operating temperature are grouped together, the current rating is to be based upon the lowest
operating temperature of any cable in the group.
9. If, due to known operating conditions, a cable is expected to carry not more than 30 % of its grouped rating, it may be ignored for the
purpose of obtaining the rating factor for the rest of the group. For example, a group of N’s loaded cables would normally require a group
rating factor of Cg applied to the tabulated It. However, if M cables in the group carry loads which are not greater than 0.3 Cglt amperes the
other cables can be sized by using the group rating factor corresponding to (N-M) cables.

errors of up to ± 10%. (Where more precise values are required, they may be calculated by methods given in BS 7769 (BS IEC 60287)).
2. In case of a thermal resistivity lower than 2.5 K.m/W the rating factors can, in general, be increased and can be calculated by the
methods given in BS 7769 (BS IEC 60287).

APPENDIX-ORANGE
A GUIDE TO FIRE PERFORMANCE TESTS & STANDARDS FOR CABLES
Wires and Cables are like blood vessels in the body which keep us alive. They supply the essential energy to every part of residential, public,
commercial and industrial buildings as well as vital infrastructure facilities, to provide power for lighting, computer systems, electrical
appliances and machinery, etc. Comply with various relevant performance standards to ensure integrity and reliability.
This guide provides you with an idea of the mandated tests and standards to ensure that wires and cables meet international fire performance
requirements.

TYPES OF FIRE PERFORMANCE CABLES


It is important for cables to have fire survival properties because they are widely distributed throughout a building and can be the main cause
of fire transmission to unaffected areas. There are 2 types of characteristics for Fire Performance: 1-Active - which ensures the cable,
continues to transmit power and signals during a fire, and 2- Passive - which limits the spread of fire that can cause severe damage to property
and reduces the emission of fumes and toxic gases that can lead to loss of human lives.
These safety features are necessary to allow occupants of buildings and facilities to have the time to evacuate without being hurt or overcome
by fire, toxic gases and fumes.
In Europe and the United States, where most of the fire performance standards originated, there is a slight difference in concerns over fire
behavior. The European countries are concerned about all aspects of fire-affected cables, including harmful halogen, smoke and gas contents,
whereas the concern over in the United States is the flame spread and smoke characteristics from cables.
Cables are therefore rated for their various Fire Resistant, Flame Retardant, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and Low Smoke Fume (LSF)
characteristics.

FLAME RETARDANT CABLES


Flame Retardant cables are designed to minimize the spread of flame in the event of a fire. Whether it is a single wire or a bundled wire cable,
it is supposed to retard flame spread so that the fire may ideally be limited to a small area and allow for emergency response to put it out. Our
PVC- based cables have this characteristic and are widely used for their low cost.
LOW SMOKE AND FUME CABLES (LSF)
LSF cables are slow to ignite and they burn slowly. LSF cables emit much smaller amount of smoke and fumes, with characteristics similar to
that of LSZH-FRT cables. Although its emission will still have halogen, but the content is much lesser than that from PVC cables. To ensure
better fire performance, LSF cables are manufactured with flame retardant PVC blended with HCL and smoke absorbent material for maximum
efficiency. Low Smoke Zero Halogen Flame Retardant Cables (LSZH-FRT)
Halogens are harmful non-metal elements such as fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). FRT cables are designed
with special materials not only with self-extinguishing property, but also with low smoke and fume emissions without halogens, as well as an
absence of toxic gas emission in case of combustion. Thus, LSZH-FRT cables outperform PVC and LSF cables with additional protection from fire
spread and the emission of toxic gas and corrosive elements. These cables are suitable for use in inadequately ventilated areas such as those in

aircraft, ships, and military facilities.

FIRE RESISTANT CABLES


Fire Resistant cables are designed with superior fire-resistant property to continue to operate in the event of a fire for a specific period of time
(usually between 30 and 180 minutes). They are specified for use in vital installations and essential support facilities, such as a fire alarm
system, as they are designed to withstand fire and maintain circuit integrity. In such cables the stranded annealed copper conductor is sealed
with a fire- resisting mica tape wrap, so that even after the insulation has been burnt phase-to phase and phase-to-earth contact can be
prevented. They are also designed to withstand mechanical shock and perform under wet condition.

STANDARDS FOR FLAME RETARDANCY


(European & British Standards)
There are three classes of tests for flame propagation in cables. They are the IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-2 and IEC 60332-3 standards. The

European Committee for Electromechanical Standardization (CENELEC) - which adopts the standards of the International Electro-technical
Committee (IEC)
- uses the first two to assess flame propagation characteristics of a single wire, and the IEC 60332-3 for similar characteristics test for bundled
cables, which is more stringent.

The British Standards for flame propagation test for single wire and bundled wires and cables are the BS EN 60332-1 (formerly known as
BS:4066- 1) and BS EN:50266-2 (formerly known as BS 4066-3).

FLAME TEST ON SINGLE VERTICAL INSULATED WIRE/CABLE


(IEC 60332-1, BS EN 60332-1)
The flame propagation characteristic of a single wire or cable is tested using a 60 cm cable specimen that is fixed vertically in a metal chamber.
A calibrated gas burner adjusted with the recommended flow rates of gas and air is lighted and applied at 45-degree angle on the surface of
the test sample at 475 mm (+/-5mm) from the lower edge of the upper horizontal clamp. The flame is applied continuously for a duration (60-
480 sec) corresponding to the diameter of the wire/cable. After the flame has been extinguished, the specimen is cleaned and examined. It
passes the test if the charring does not reach 50mm from the lower edge of the top clamp, or the charring does not extend beyond 475mm
from the point of flame application.

FLAME TEST ON BUNCHED WIRES/CABLES (IEC 60332-3, BS EN 50266-2)


This test comprises four categories (A, B, C & D) according to the volume of combustible material per meter of cable. It determines the
bunched cables ability to limit flame spread.

The test sample consists of several pieces of cable each 3.5 m long, in order to have the required quantity of combustible material per meter of
specimen. The cables are installed in a metal chamber on the front of a vertical ladder and are subjected to a gas burner flame for a specified
time under controlled air flow. At the end of the specified duration, the burnt and charred portion of the cable must not be more than 2.5 m
from the burner point.

STANDARDS FOR FIRE RESISTANCE


IEC 60331-11 (APPARATUS 750°C)
IEC 60331-21 (CABLES RATED UP TO 0.6/1. OkV)
To verify circuit integrity in the event of a fire, the cable sample is held on a flame at about 750°C for 3 hours under its rated voltage. The
sample must then be re-energized in not less than 12 hours after the test, and to pass, the specimen must not breakdown and circuit integrity
must be maintained.

BS6387
This test is performed to investigate the cables ability to maintain circuit integrity under three conditions-fire only, fire with spray of water,
and fire with mechanical shock.

Resistance to fire - the cable while performing at its rated voltage is subjected to gas burner fire at the specified temperature for the
respective categories - Category A - 3 hours at 650°C, Category B - 3 hours at 750°C and Category C - 3 hours at 950°C.

Resistance to fire and water (Category W) is another cable specimen with rated voltage running is exposed for 15 minutes to flame at 650° C
and a further 15 minutes to fire and a continuous spray of water.

Resistance to fire and mechanical shock in this test a new cable sample with rated voltage running is mounted on a vertical panel which is
struck with a steel bar for 15 minutes while subjected to a flame. The burning temperatures required for the respective categories are
Category X (650°C), Category Y (750°C) and Category Z (950°C).

STANDARDS FOR HALOGEN, SMOKE EMISSION, CORROSIVITY & TOXICITY


SMOKE DENSITY
(IEC 61034-2, BS EN 61034-2)
To measure the density of smoke from a burning cable, samples are placed horizontally in a 3 square meter metal cabinet and burned by flame
from 100 cubic cm of alcohol in a metal tray. A fan is used to ensure uniformity of the smoke and light transmittance is measured by a
photometric system in the cabinet. The result is expressed as percentage light transmittance and the specimen is rated to have passed the test
if the value is more than 60%, as the higher the percentage the less smoke is emitted.

HALOGEN EMISSION
(IEC 60754-1, BS EN 50267-2-1)
To determine the amount of corrosive gases, such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, astatine and iodine released by the cable, samples of non-
metallic materials (1g) are burned in a tubular oven at up to 800°C. Controlled air flow inside the chamber absorbs the resulting gases in water,
which is tested for its acidity. If the specimen yields less than 5 mg/g of hydrochloric acid it is rated Halogen Free, but if the yield is between 5
mg/g and 15 mg/g it is classed as Low Smoke & Fumes. The results do not determine whether the specimen is totally halogen free.

SMOKE CORROSIVITY
(IEC 60754-2, BS EN 50267-2-2)
This method determines the corrosiveness of the gases released from the cables by burning the insulation material in a furnace at <935°C with
rated air supply for 30 minutes. The effluent gases are absorbed into distilled water, which is then measured for its pH and conductivity. A pH-
value of above 4.3 and conductivity of over 10. mose(us) / mm must be achieved.
TOXICITY INDEX
(ES713)
This Naval Engineering Standard method is used to analyses noxious gas emitted from the burning specimen and the amount that each of the
gas can cause fatality. Sample of the cable insulating material (~1.0 g) is burned in a chamber with a volume of 0.7-1 m3 and the gases emitted
during combustion are detected and collected in order to determine the quantities of the elements, such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide,
Sulphur dioxide, nitric oxide, acids, ammonia, etc. The Toxicity Index is derived from the calculated quantity of each gas produced when 10Og
(scaled up) of the material is burnt in air in a volume of 1m3 and the particular resulting concentration fatal to human when exposed to it for
30 minutes, thus determining the critical toxicity factor. The higher the index, the more toxic the insulating material when burnt in a fire. For
example, the toxicity index of an FRT cable is generally known to be lower than 5.

OTHER RELEVANT STANDARDS


LIMITING OXYGEN INDEX (LOI)
(IS04589-2, BS IS07211-3)

LOI is defined as the minimum concentration of oxygen required to support flaming combustion in a flowing air mixture of oxygen and
nitrogen (in this instance, the downward burning of a vertically-mounted test specimen such as a candle.) The oxygen concentration is
recorded as volume percentage. A higher LOI value (oxygen concentration) means better flame retardancy. For example, with 21% oxygen
index the material will burn by itself automatically at room temperature; LSZH cables require a higher index between 33% and 42%. The test
method allows accuracy of + 0.5% to be achieved.
TEMPERATURE INDEX (Tl)
(IS04589, BS 2782.1)
Research has shown that compared to the conventional oxygen index, higher temperature at which a material will burn in air is a better
determinant of combustibility. When air temperature rises, the Oxygen Index Value falls, thus, the test for Temperature Index (Tl) has been
developed from the LOI method. The apparatus used for the Tl test is essentially similar to that of the LOI test, but the incoming combustion
gas is heated. It tests the flammability of the sample with a small flame to find the optimum temperature at which the specimen will burn
automatically. When a specimen burns automatically in the air with 21% oxygen, the temperature at this point is known as the TI. In case of
coal, the oxygen index will drop to 21% and it will burn automatically when the air temperature reaches 150°C. This temperature for coal is
recorded as its TI.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CABLES INSTALLATION
PRODUCT LIFE DATA
Low Voltage cables are not subjected to high electric stress, the XLPE insulating material has a dielectric strength voltage of about 22 KV, with
the best manufacturing and testing practice applied in COPPERGAT Cables Company to ensure best quality insulation .The PVC or PE jacketing
material is very stable against most of the Chemical traces could be existing at the soil, these material with Black color Master batch up to 2.5
% have a strong resistance against UV and Environmental conditions.
The cables have to be selected and installed as per the recommendations mentioned below by keeping such standard of installation and
operation, Low Voltage cables can survive in service for a time of 25 years or more without failure.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SELECTION, INSTALLATIONS AND OPERATION OF CABLES


• The cables are intended to be installed in air, or for burial in free draining soil Conditions. Where the cables are to be laid in any other
environment, reference should be made to the COPPERGAT Cables Company.
• The rated voltage of the cable for a given application should be suitable for the operating conditions in the system in which the cable is
used. To facilitate the selection of the cable, systems are divided into three categories as follows.
a) Category A
This category comprises those systems in which any phase conductor that comes in contact with earth or
an earth conductor is disconnected from the system within 1 min.
b) Category B
This category comprises those systems which, under fault conditions, are operated for a short time with one phase earthed. This period,
according to IEC 60183, should not exceed 1 h. For cables specified in this standard, a longer period, not exceeding 8 h on any occasion, can be
tolerated. The total duration of earth faults in any year should not exceed 125 h.
c) Category C
This category comprises all systems which do not fall into categories A and B.
The nominal system voltage U, (up to 1.0 KV) is the nominal voltage between phases,
The maximum sustained system voltage, um (1.2 KV) is the highest voltage between phases that can be sustained under normal operating
conditions at any time and at any point in the system. It excludes transient voltage variations, due, for example, to lightning impulses, fault
conditions and rapid connection of loads.
Single-core cables are suitable for d.c. systems operating at up to 1 000 V to earth and two-core 600/1 000 V cables at up to 1 500 V between
conductors.

CABLES INSTALLED IN HAZARDOUS AREAS


Where cables are required to be installed in areas classified as hazardous, i.e. potentially explosive gas atmospheres, reference should be
made to IEC 60079-14.

CURRENT RATINGS
The current ratings introduced previously in this catalogue have to be followed.
• Cables should be installed and used in association with other equipment in accordance with BS7671 and/or the Electricity Safety, Quality
and Continuity Regulations, as appropriate. In special environments, the appropriate regulations and codes of practice should be observed.
• Minimum temperature during installation
It is recommended that the cables be installed only when both the cable and ambient temperatures are above 0 °C and have been so for the
previous 24 h, or where special precautions have been taken to maintain the cable above this temperature.
MINIMUM INSTALLATION RADIUS
None of the cables specified in this catalogue should be bent during installation to a radius smaller than that given in COPPERGAT product
Catalogues and the offered data sheets, wherever possible, larger installation radii should be used.
PREVENTION OF MOISTURE INGRESS
Care should be exercised during installation to avoid any damage to cable coverings. This is important in wet or other aggressive
environments. The protective cable end cap should not be removed from the ends of the cable until immediately prior to termination or
jointing, especially for cables that do not have extruded bedding. When the end caps have been removed the unprotected ends of the cable
should not be exposed to any kind of moisture.

TEST AFTER INSTALLATION


A voltage test after installation should be performed with direct current of 3.5 KV DC between conductor phases and the same value between
each conductor and armoring.
During the test, the voltage should be increased gradually to the full value and maintained continuously for 15 min. The test should be made
between conductors and between each conductor and armor.
The requirement is: No breakdown should occur.
The test voltages given above are intended for cables immediately after installation and not for cables that have been in service. When testing
is required after cables have been in service, regardless of service duration, COPPERGAT Cables Company- Quality Department should be
consulted for the appropriate test conditions, which depend on the individual circumstances.

CABLES FAULTS PREVENTION


The Low Voltage Cables faults are possible due to different reasons:
1. Physical damage due to mishandling or misuse
2. Physical Damage during operations.
3. Over current.
4. Fire or excessive temperature at the cable’s location.
5. Manufacturing malfunction, which COPPERGAT Cables Company guarantees its product against any defect or wrong workmanship,
meanwhile in case of damage due to this reason, the action will be taken as per the submitted warranty letter, and the company will apply
the required corrective and preventive actions.

Recommendations for failures:

Insulation failure: the defected section is recommended to be replaced, the replacement should be from joint to joint.
Serving/ jacketing failure: if the water did not ingress through the cable, the jacket will be repaired using proper repairing techniques
carried out by skilled technician. If the water came inside the cables to insulation, for cables suitable for wet location, practically dry the
defected portion before repair.
If the cable is not suitable for wet applications and the underground water engrossed inside it, replacing the defected section from joint to
joint is the recommended solution.

DRUM HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS


Cables and Conductors should be installed by trained personnel in accordance with good engineering practices, recognized codes of practice,
statutory local requirements, IEE wiring regulations and where relevant, in accordance with any specific instructions issued by the company.
Cables are often supplied in heavy cable reels and handling these reels can constitute a safety hazard. In particular, dangers may arise during
the removal of steel binding straps and during the removal of retaining battens and timbers which may expose projecting nails.
