The cable has a cross-sectional area of 70mm2, made from aluminum, which makes it lighter and more affordable than copper. It is suitable for carrying moderate to high electrical loads over short to medium distances.
Depending on the type, a 70mm aluminum cable may be:
* Single core or multi-core (2-core, 3-core, 4-core)
* Conductor: Stranded aluminum for flexibility and conductivity
* Insulation:
* PVC (for general use)
* XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) for higher temperature and durability
* Armouring (optional): Steel wire armoured (SWA) for mechanical protection
* Outer sheath: PVC covering to resist moisture, chemicals, and abrasion
Electrical Properties
* Size: 70mm2
* Voltage rating: Typically 0.6/1kV
* Current capacity: Around 150 – 200 amps (depends on installation method and insulation type)
