262 MCM 3C TC Shielded Nylon Tape Armour EPR GAALSHIP Medium IEEE Type E BS 5KV Offshore Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 262 MCM 3C TC Shielded Nylon Tape Armour EPR GAALSHIP Medium IEEE Type E BS 5KV Offshore Cable:100 Amps

About:

The 262 MCM 3C TC Shielded Nylon Tape Armour EPR GAALSHIP Medium IEEE Type E BS 5KV Offshore Cable is designed for medium voltage (5KV) applications in harsh marine and offshore environments. It features tinned copper conductors, EPR insulation, and nylon tape armor for superior durability and resistance to environmental stressors. This cable is compliant with IEEE Type E and British Standards, making it ideal for power distribution in oil platforms, ships, and similar settings where robustness and reliability are critical.

Also Known As:

• 262 MCM GAALSHIP Armoured Offshore Power Cable
• EPR Insulated, TC Shielded, Nylon Armoured Marine Cable
• IEEE Type E BS 5KV Shielded Offshore Cable

Application:

• Power transmission and distribution in offshore oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and marine vessels.
• Fixed installations requiring robust mechanical protection and high resistance to oil, chemicals, and saltwater.
• Electrical infrastructure in harsh environments where high voltage and EMI shielding are necessary..

Standards:

• IEEE Type E Ensures the cable meets rigorous performance standards for electrical stability and durability in offshore environments.
• British Standards (BS) Adheres to the stringent requirements set by British standards for safety and performance in marine applications.
• Designed to withstand high voltages up to 5KV, suitable for medium voltage applications.
• Likely includes certifications for flame retardancy, low smoke, and zero halogen emissions, ensuring safety in the event of a fire.
