NCI 1-Core XLPE/PVC Copper Cable – Aluminium Wire Armoured (AWA) | BS 5467
NCI XLPE/PVC copper AWA cable, BS 5467, 0.6/1kV, 90°C rated. Sizes 50–1000mm². ESMA & BASEC certified for UAE high-load power installations. Aswan Elect.
NCI 1-Core XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed Copper Cable with Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) is manufactured to BS 5467 at 0.6/1 kV by National Cables Industry (NCI), Sharjah UAE. With ESMA Emirates Quality Mark and BASEC product certification, this premium single-core cable offers a 90°C continuous operating temperature — significantly higher than PVC insulated alternatives — making it the preferred choice for high-load underground power installations, substation connections, and heavy industrial feeders in the UAE.
Available in sizes from 50mm² to 1000mm², the round stranded compacted (rmc) copper conductor delivers exceptional current-carrying capacity, while XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation ensures superior thermal stability, excellent dielectric properties, and long-term resistance to moisture and chemical attack.
Fully compliant with DEWA, SEWA, ADDC, and FEWA specifications for underground high-current feeder applications across the UAE and GCC.
