BEFORE YOU START

1. The current ratings indicated in this Specification Sheet have been based on the calculation procedures as
recommended in IEC 60287and the following assumptions. Rating factors should be
a. Max continuous conductor temp = 90 °C
b. Ambient air temperature = °C
c. Ambient ground temperature = °C
d. Depth of laying = m
e. Thermal resistivity of soil = °C.m/W
2. The particulars given above are nominal & are subject to normal manufacturing tolerances.
3. Sequential length marking shall be provided at every one meter on outer sheath by hot foil indenting/Printing.
4. All the drums shall be packed by PP sheet over the outermost cable layer.
