NCI XLPE/PVC Aluminium Conductor Cable – Unarmoured & Armoured | IEC 60502-1
NCI XLPE/PVC aluminium cable IEC 60502-1, 90°C, 0.6/1kV. 1–4 core, 16–630mm². ESMA certified cost-effective solution for large UAE projects. Aswan Elect.
NCI XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed Aluminium Conductor Cables to IEC 60502-1 at 0.6/1 kV combine the thermal performance of XLPE insulation (90°C operating temperature) with the cost advantages of aluminium conductors, making them a highly economical solution for large power infrastructure projects in the UAE.
Manufactured by National Cables Industry, Sharjah UAE — ESMA certified — the range covers 1-core (16–630mm²), 2-core (16–35mm²), 3-core (16–500mm²), and 4-core (16–500mm²) in unarmoured and armoured (SWA, STA) variants. Aluminium conductors make these cables significantly lighter and less expensive than copper equivalents for long cable runs and large installations.
Ideal for main feeders, sub-station connections, large industrial plants, and infrastructure projects across UAE and GCC where aluminium conductors are technically acceptable and cost efficiency is a priority.
