Flat cables are used as trailing cables for cranes, open field conveyors and shelve service devices.
Flat cables offer the following advantages:
* Extremely small bending radius
* High flexibility
Minimum waste of space *
In the voltage designation of U0/U(Um), The rated voltages of the cables considered in BS and IEC standards are as follows: U0/U(Um)=0.3/0.5(0.6) - 0.6/1(1. 2) KV. Um is the maximum value of the "highest system voltage" for which the equipment may be used. Construction features: -Conductor size : Up to 16 sq.mm - No. of cores : 2 to 5 cores (Parallel) -Conductor material: Plain/Tinned copper -Conductor type: Solid(Class1)/Stranded(class2)/Fine stranded (Class 5) - round -Insulation: Polyvinyl chloride ( PVC) -Uninsulated protective conductor (if applicable ) -Sheath: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Other features : -Ultra violet (UV) resistant colored outer sheath -Low smoke and fume (LSF) -Halogen free and flame retardant (HFFR) - Oil & hydrocarbon resistant -Fire resistant -Vermin proof Standards : BS6004 Twin Core with uninsulated circuit
3-core with uninsulated circuit
U0 is the rated power frequency voltage between conductor and earth or metallic screen.
U is the rated power frequency voltage between conductors.
