6mm 4C Tinned Copper Shield Steel Braid LSZH 600/1000V Marine Armoured Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 6mm 4C Tinned Copper Shield Steel Braid LSZH 600/1000V Marine Armoured Cable: 100 Amps

About:

• This cable features conductors made from tinned copper, which is copper coated with a thin layer of tin. This tinning process enhances the copper's resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for marine applications where the cable is exposed to salty air or water. The cable is further protected by a steel braid armour, providing additional mechanical protection and enhancing its durability against physical impacts and abrasions. The LSZH sheathing material ensures that in the event of a fire, the amount of toxic and corrosive gas released is minimized, protecting both personnel and equipment.

Also Known As:

• Tinned Copper Marine Cable
• LSZH Armoured Marine Cable
• Steel Braided Shipboard Cable
• 600/1000V Shielded Marine Cable

Application:

• Armoured cables for fixed wiring in ships and in mobile and fixed offshore units (e.g. drilling rigs, oil platforms, etc.). For use in regularly occupied areas such as accommodation facilities, control rooms and computer suites. Any application where life may be endangered by smoke and noxious fumes and where vital, sensitive equipment may be damaged by acid forming gases.

Construction:

• In accordance with BS6883
• Conductor: Tinned annealed copper. Stranded to BS EN 60228 Class 2 or flexible to BS EN 60228 Class 5
• Insulation: EPR complying with BS7655 GP4
• Core Identification:The cores shall be identified by numbers unless requested otherwise
• Inner Sheath:Will be the same material as the outer sheath, based generally on the requirements of BS7655 section 2.6 Type SW4. Enhanced oil resistance, low smoke zero halogen, minimum tear resistance
• Armour:wire braid in the following optional materials:
- Galvanised mild steel to BS EN 10257-1
- Tinned phosphor bronze to BS EN 12166
- Copper to BS EN 13602
N.B. Galvanised mild steel should not be used on single-core cables where used for a.c. circuits.
• Outer Sheath: As inner sheath. Identification legend will include manufacturers name, voltage, BS6883, number of cores and c.s.a. cable sheath class (e.g. SW4), IEC 60332
and UK00A code where applicable 
• Temperature Rating: 90°C maximum conductor operating temperature
• Voltage Rating: 600/1000V

Standards:

• These cables are designed and manufactured in compliance with various international standards to ensure they meet the rigorous demands of marine applications. Common standards include:

• IEC 60092-350: Specifies construction and testing requirements for marine cables.
• IEC 60092-353: Pertains specifically to power cables for rated voltages 1 kV and 3 kV.
• IEC 60332-3-22: Focuses on the flame retardant properties of cables under fire conditions.
• IEC 60754-1/2: Tests for the determination of the amount of halogen acid gas.

Features:

• Corrosion Resistance: Tinned copper conductors offer superior resistance to corrosion.
• Mechanical Protection: Steel braid armour provides excellent protection against physical damage.
• Low Smoke Zero Halogen: Minimizes toxic and corrosive gas emissions during a fire.
• Electromagnetic Protection: The shielded design helps to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring the reliable operation of sensitive electronic equipment.
• Voltage Rating: Designed for 600/1000V applications, suitable for medium voltage requirements in marine settings.
