Prysmian offers a comprehensive range of flexible cable solutions with Class 5 conductors for fixed installations. With Flexible XLPE and Fire Performance cables, Prysmian has a full suite of cables for the entire Construction market.  Cost savings through flexibility Our cables … •  Are easy to handle and install•  Are easy to bend and are less stiff•  Require no bending tools•  Require fewer people to installMeaning electrical contractors are now able to work in  tight spaces and complete their projects faster – resulting  in significant savings through time and labour costs.  Superior cable management •  Product availability•  Shorter lead times•  Cables can be cut to length•  Reactive local support Long-life performance •  Australian designed and made•  Cables made from premium components•  Superior performance Safety – performance that ensures peace of mind •  High flexibility ensures easier handling – reducing the risk  of work place injury and fatigue •  Firestop cables exceed the fire & mechanical performance  requirements in AS/NZS 3013 Quality – superior manufacturing and support •  Independently certified by a NATA accredited facility•  Exceeds Australian Standards•  Expert quality control•  Quality technical after-sales support and service We’re flexible so you won’t have to be.  With our improved range of flexible cables we’ve brought flexibility to a completely new level.  From now on it’ll be a lot easier to get into those tight corners with less equipment, less  people and in half the time . With a 50% decrease in installation time, imagine what you  could do with those savings ... Australian made? Yes, of course. Dependant on job type and in comparison with rigid cables.

14 www.prysmiancable.com.au | www.prysmiancable.co.nz Cable selection The following are some simplified procedures for cable  selection. Refer to the Wiring Rules and AS/NZS 3008.1.1 for detailed information. The four main electrical criteria for cable selection are: 1.  Current rating  2.  Voltage drop 3.  Earth loop impedance 4.  Short-circuit capacity Generally speaking, for:Short route length, current-carrying capacity requirement will dictate the cable size selection. Long route length, voltage drop or earth loop impedance requirement will dictate the cable size selection. The short-circuit capacity of a cable shall be such that all short-circuit current occurring at any point of a circuit shall not cause the cable conductor temperature to exceed the maximum permissible limit. Current rating Current rating of a cable depends on: 1.  Installation method, e.g., In air or ground, enclosed or  unenclosed, etc. 2.  Installation environment, e.g., ambient temperature, depth of laying, presence of other cables or circuits  nearby, etc. 3.  Limiting temperatures of the cables for normal use,  e.g., PVC and XLPE insulated cables are 75 °C and 90 °C respectively. 4.  Type of overcurrent protective device used, appropriate derating factor:- 0.8 for semi-enclosed (rewireable) fuses - 0.9 for fuses, e.g. AS 2005 series fuses, with I2 = 1.6 x IN  - No derating is required for circuit breakers, e.g. AS/NZS 4898 circuit breakers, with I2 = 1.45 x IN Where:   I2 = convertional overcurrent fusing or tripping current.   IN = nominal current of the fuse or circuit breaker. Current ratings in this technical manual are extracted from AS/NZS 3008.1.1 Voltage drop Wiring Rules stipulate a maximum voltage drop of 5 % of the nominal voltage between the point of supply and any point in the installation when the conductors are carrying maximum demand. Voltage drops in this technical manual are based on: 1.  Maximum conductor temperatures of 75 °C, 90 °C and 110 °C as indicated. 2.  Load power factor to give maximum voltage drop. 3.  Single core cables are touching in trefoil or flat formation. 4.  Supply frequency of 50Hz. An Equation to determine minimum required cable size due to voltage drop is:Vc = Vd x 1000/I x L millivolts/ampere metre Where:  Vc = Millivolts drop/ampere metre as given in the tables  Vd = Maximum permissible voltage drop in volts I = Current in Amperes L = Route length in metres A Cable can now be selected such that Vc is equal to or less than calculated, and check that it will carry the current Earth loop impedance and short circuit capacity When relevant information on calculating these values is required please consult the Prysmian “Technical Cable Guide”.
