IEC 60501-1 standard multi core XLPE Insulated PVC Sheathed Cable with SWA or STA can be used in underground installation since the cable is very suitable for mechanical compulsion and harsh operating conditions. XLPE low voltage power cables are also suitable for comparatively high ambient temperature due to high maximum permissible conductor temperature.
