(during installation) and 12x OD (installed) for
PVC sheath.

Lengths and packing can be supplied to
customer’s requirements.

For glanding details, contact your local
service centre.

NB: Stranding in compacted conductors may be
subject to minor variations.

(a)
Based on 30°C ambient air temperature and where applicable,
burial depth of 0.8m, soil temperature of 15°C and thermal
resistivity of 1.2°Cm/W.
(b)
For fault durations other than one second, divide the
appropriate given value by the square root of the required time
(in seconds).
(c)
Based on a duct size of 100mm internal diameter.
(d)
Trefoil groups are bonded at both ends.

Screen fault ratings are based on an initial temperature of 80°C
and a final temperature of 250°C.

Conductor fault ratings are based on an initial temperature of
90°C and a final temperature of 250°C.
