Low Tension Power Cables

LT Power Cables must withstand short-circuit conditions without catastrophic failure. This is achieved through conductors and insulation materials that can handle high thermal and mechanical stresses during fault conditions. The cables are designed to withstand short-circuit currents for a defined period, ensuring that the circuit protection devices (e.g., fuses or circuit breakers) can act before the cables are damaged. The short-circuit rating is a critical parameter in preventing cable degradation and ensuring the continuity of power in fault scenarios. 

Given the risk of electrical fires, LT Power Cables are designed to minimize the propagation of flames in the event of a fault. Fire-resistant cables are manufactured with materials that limit fire spread and produce minimal smoke and toxic gases when exposed to fire. Flame-retardant coatings and compounds, such as halogen-free materials, are used in cable jackets and insulations to meet fire safety standards. Including such features ensures compliance with relevant fire safety codes (e.g., IEC 60332, UL 1581).
