DESCRIPTION
Circular stranded compacted copper or aluminium conductor, XLPE insulated, with copper wire screen and PE outer sheath.
Complies with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) Specification. (Refer to table 6.33)
CONSTRUCTION
1. Conductor
Plain circular compacted copper or aluminium conductor to IEC 228 class 2
2. Conductor Screen
Extruded semi-conductive thermo-setting compound
3. Insulation
Extruded superclean XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene)
4. Insulation screen
Extruded semi-conductive cross-linked polyethylene compound. It is firmly bonded to the insulation by virtue of the
simultaneous cross linking of insulation
The conductor screen, insulation and insulation screen are extruded by simultaneous triple extrusion process.
5. Metallic screen
Concentric round uncoated copper wires applied helically and shall be capable of carrying an earth-fault current of 25kA for 3
seconds
7. Outer sheath
Extruded black PE containing an effective termite repellant
APPLICATIONS
For installationon trays, ducts of direct burial.
NOTE : Cables complying with BS 6622 and customer’s specification are available upon request. Modifications which serve to improve our products will be
implemented without notice.
* Metallic sheath (Lead alloy ‘E’) and/or moisture barrier sheath (Laminated Aluminium foil) available upon request.

Milliken Conductor
The conductor of this cable is achieved by using a shaped segmental conductor design. Our design consists of five stranded
sector shape conductor segments with one central circular conductors separated by semi-conducting tape used to avoid
“Skin Effect” for an improve current carrying capacity. The conductor also features water-sealed properties which prevent
moisture ingress into and along the conductor for improve cable reliability and durability.
