Multiple Conductor Cables

Multiple conductor cables are used in a variety of applications, ranging from residential installations to commercial and industrial use. The 5180/15C SL001 is a particular model of multiple conductor cable from the SL series that is used for power transmission and distribution, as well as other types of industrial applications. It is composed of fifteen individually insulated and jacketed conductors that are arranged in parallel and sheathed in a black PVC outer jacket.

Application Field

The 5180/15C SL001 is designed for use in the transmission and distribution of electric power in a variety of applications. It can be used in residential wiring and industrial wiring, such as in utility companies, for the connection of industrial and commercial motor control centers, and for the connection of large steel and aluminum structures. It can also be used in the connection of electrical equipment to a power source, such as a transformer or an electrical panel.

Working Principle

The 5180/15C SL001 utilizes a unique construction technique that delivers maximum flexibility while providing superior tensile strength and insulation. The cable consists of fifteen individually insulated and jacketed conductors that are arranged in a parallel arrangement and sheathed in a black PVC outer jacket. The conductors are insulated with either a radiation crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation for better oil, solvent, and abrasion resistance, or with ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation for a softer insulation and added flame resistance.

The insulation on the conductors is designed to maintain flexibility and ensure consistent electrical performance over the life of the cable. The conductors are then laid parallel and grouped together and covered with a thin layer of heat resistant thermoplastic. The outer jacket is then applied to provide the cable with additional strength and flexibility. All cables in the series are UL approved and have a temperature rating of 90°C.

Conclusion

The 5180/15C SL001 is a versatile multiple conductor cable that can be used in a variety of applications ranging from residential wiring to commercial and industrial applications. It provides superior tensile strength and insulation, and is designed for maximum flexibility and performance. This particular model of multiple conductor cable is UL approved and has a temperature rating of 90°C, making it perfect for the connection of electrical equipment to a power source or for the connection of industrial and commercial motor control centers.
