Cable Specification

Jun 24, 2007 2 Replies

How all power cables are designated. For e,g Aluminum - XLPE - Armoured cable is designated as AYFY - in cable manufacturer catalogue please explain the nomenclature for designation various Electrical cables. Is there is any web site for the same please provide me



XLPE is Cross Linked Poly Ethylene (insulation)

AYFY looks like a U/L listing classification but AC cable is AWEZ in my "white book" I am guessing it is a not-USA type of cable?

Yeah it is European standard and as per Indian Standard
