Specification

6 AWG 4C Stranded Tinned Copper Shielded Braid Halogen-Free GAALSHIP BFOU 0.6/1 kV Offshore Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 6 AWG 4C Stranded Tinned Copper Shielded Braid Halogen-Free GAALSHIP BFOU 0.6/1 kV Offshore Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is designed to operate in offshore environments where resistance to harsh conditions and fire is essential. It is used to transmit electrical power with a voltage rating of 0.6/1 kV.

Also Known As:

This type of cable is also commonly referred to as a marine cable or offshore power cable.

Application:

It is typically used in offshore oil rigs, marine vessels, and similar settings where moisture, salt, and mechanical stresses are prevalent. Its applications include power, lighting, and control circuits in both fixed and flexible installations.

Standards:

• GAALSHIP BFOU: A specification ensuring that the cable is flame retardant, low smoke, and halogen-free, thus offering improved safety in the event of a fire.
• IEC 60092-350: Pertains to the construction and testing of electrical cables used on ships and mobile offshore units.
• IEC 60092-353: Addresses power cables with extruded solid insulation for rated voltages 1 kV and 3 kV.
