Tri-Rated Cables

Tri-rated cables feature advanced multilayer insulation systems that enhance their electrical and mechanical properties. The outer layer typically consists of durable PVC or thermoplastic compounds, providing resistance to abrasion, oils, and solvents. The inner insulation layers are engineered for low smoke and halogen-free properties, ensuring minimal toxicity in the event of a fire. These multilayer designs enhance the cables’ durability, ensuring long-term performance in demanding environments. 

Conductor Material

Tinned Copper / Bare Copper

Conductor Type

Flexible or Stranded

Insulation Material

PVC, XLPE, Thermoplastic, Halogen-Free

Voltage Rating

Up to 600V

Temperature Rating

-40°C to +90°C

Product Description

The conductors in Tri-rated cables are typically made from high-grade or tinned copper, ensuring optimal conductivity and low electrical resistance. This contributes to a lower voltage drop across the cable’s length, maximizing the power transmission’s efficiency. The copper is often annealed to enhance its flexibility without sacrificing conductivity. The tinned coating improves the cable’s resistance to oxidation and corrosion, crucial in harsh environmental conditions like marine or industrial settings. 

Current Carrying Capacity

Up to 100A depending on conductor size and insulation type

Shielding

Copper/Braided or Aluminum Foil Shielding

Fire Resistance

Flame Retardant, Low Smoke, Zero Halogen (LSZH)

Cable Construction

Multi-layer construction with outer sheath and internal barriers

Outer Sheath Material

PVC, PE, PUR (Polyurethane), or Thermoplastic Elastomer

Diameter

Varies based on conductor size and insulation, typically 3-20mm

Resistance to Chemicals

Resistant to oils, solvents, and other harsh chemicals

EMI Protection

Effective shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI)

Flexibility

High flexibility, suitable for tight installations and moving parts

Compliance Standards

UL, IEC, CE, RoHS, REACH, BS 6231, VDE, CSA

Technical Advantages

Tri-rated cables are designed to operate across a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to +90°C, with some variants capable of withstanding even higher temperatures up to +105°C. This is achieved through specialized insulation materials that offer exceptional thermal stability, preventing cable degradation in high-temperature applications. These cables are suited for power systems, control panels, and HVAC systems that often encounter thermal extremes. 

Tri-rated cables are constructed with fire-resistant properties that meet strict international standards, including IEC 60332-1 for single cable fire testing and IEC 60332-3 for bundled cables. The fire-resistant insulation prevents flames from propagating along the cable, while the cable’s outer sheath is designed to be self-extinguishing. This feature significantly reduces the risk of fire hazards in applications where fire safety is critical, such as in power generation, transportation, or emergency circuits.

Optimized for EMI Protection and High Power Demand

Tri-rated cables are engineered to mitigate the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can disrupt the performance of sensitive equipment and communication systems. Many of these cables include shielding made from braided copper or aluminum foil, offering effective protection against EMI and reducing noise in the signal transmission. This makes them particularly suitable for industrial automation, telecom, and control systems, where high interference levels can lead to costly malfunctions. 

Tri-rated cables are designed to handle high current loads without compromising safety or performance. The cables are typically rated for higher amperage levels, ensuring they can deliver sufficient power to large systems or machinery. This is made possible by using thicker conductors and low-resistance insulation materials. Carrying higher currents over long distances with minimal heat generation makes these cables ideal for power distribution and large-scale installations in energy sectors.
