Application:
For flexible use and fixed installation opencast mining applications, in quarries, on construction sites and CABLE PROPERTIES similar applications, with heavy mechanical stresses. The cables can be used indoors as well as outdoors, in explosion-hazard areas, in industry and in agriculture. They can be used permanently in waste water up to 40°C at a depth of max. 2000 m and in industrial water, cooling water, surface water, rainwater and mixed water - and in groundwater and seawater to a more limited extent. The requirements for accessibility and inspection depend on the consistency of the water. In aggressive water or composed of special substances, the cable’s resistance properties should be tested. In other respects the specifications of DIN VDE 0298 part 3 applies
