The N2XY-R 3x4mm² (Cu/XLPE/PVC) Cable is a heavy-duty, unarmored low-voltage power cable designed for high-capacity electricity supply in fixed installations. It is commonly used in industrial plants, urban distribution networks, and infrastructure projects.Â
Key Specifications
-
Conductor: 3 Cores, each with a 4mm² cross-sectional area of stranded (Class 2) circular copper.
-
Voltage Rating: 0.6/1kV (600/1000V).
-
Insulation: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene), offering superior thermal resistance up to 90°C.
-
Outer Sheath: Durable PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), typically in black.
- Standard: Manufactured according to IEC 60502-1.
Performance Features
-
High Temperature Resistance: Operates at a maximum continuous conductor temperature of 90°C and can withstand short-circuit temperatures up to 250°C.
-
Load Capacity: A 4mm² 3-core copper cable is typically rated to handle loads up to 5,000 watts or approximately 32 amps under standard installation conditions.
-
Flexibility: The "R" in N2XY-R signifies a rigid stranded conductor, which provides a balance of conductivity and installation ease for fixed wiring.Â
Common Applications
-
Fixed Installations: Suitable for mounting on cable trays, within conduits, or fixed directly to walls.
-
Damp & Outdoor Environments: Can be used in free air, underground in ducts, or buried directly in soil where there is no risk of mechanical damage.
- High-Power Circuits: Ideal for sub-surface power source networks for outside lighting or industrial connection lines.
