0.6/1kV LSZH Power Cable CU/XLPE/AWA/LSZH | IEC 61034-2 Certified Low Smoke Emission
0.6/1kV LSZH Power Cable CU/XLPE/AWA/LSZH | IEC 61034-2 Certified Low Smoke Emission
Product Overview
Reliable Low Smoke Zero Halogen Armoured Power Cable for Indoor & Underground Installation
The 0.6/1kV CU/XLPE/AWA/LSZH Power Cable is a high-performance low voltage power cable designed for safe power transmission in buildings, industrial plants, public infrastructure, and underground distribution systems. Manufactured with copper conductor, XLPE insulation, aluminum wire armour (AWA), and LSZH outer sheath, this cable provides excellent flame retardant performance, low smoke emission, and halogen-free safety protection during fire conditions.
This LSZH armoured power cable is widely used in projects requiring enhanced fire safety and environmental protection, especially in commercial buildings, tunnels, airports, hospitals, metro systems, and power distribution networks.

Technical Construction
- Manufactured from high-purity, plain annealed copper for maximum electrical conductivity.
- Class 2 stranded construction provides flexibility for installation while maintaining excellent current carrying capacity.
- Fully compliant with IEC 60228.
- Cross-linked thermosetting insulation that allows continuous operation at 90°C (compared to 70°C for PVC).
- Excellent dielectric strength and low power loss over long cable runs.
- Resistant to deformation under high short-circuit temperatures (up to 250°C for 5 seconds).
- Compliant with IEC 60502-1.
- Applied directly over the insulated cores to provide a smooth, uniform bedding layer.
- Creates a stable foundation for the application of the wire armour.
- Maintains LSZH integrity throughout the cable construction – no hidden PVC components.
- Helically applied aluminum wires wound tightly around the inner sheath.
- Provides robust mechanical protection against impact, crushing, and rodent attack.
- Non-magnetic properties eliminate eddy current losses – particularly critical for single-core 0.6/1kV cables where steel armour would overheat.
- Approximately 40% lighter than equivalent steel wire armour (SWA), reducing transport and installation costs.
- Excellent inherent corrosion resistance for humid and industrial environments.
- The final fire-safety layer, formulated to emit minimal smoke and zero halogen gases when exposed to fire.
- Tested to IEC 61034-2 for smoke density (minimum 60% light transmittance).
- Tested to IEC 60754-1/2 for halogen content (<0.5%) and gas corrosivity (pH > 4.3).
- UV-stabilized for outdoor exposure and resistant to oils and industrial contaminants.
- Available in black as standard; custom colours on request.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does IEC 61034 certify?IEC 61034-2 specifies the test method for measuring smoke density of burning cables in a 3m³ smoke chamber. A passing result requires minimum light transmittance of 60% . Our cables consistently test above this threshold.
Yes. The black LSZH outer sheath is UV-stabilized and weather-resistant . For tropical climates with intense direct sunlight, request our "UV-LSZH" variant with enhanced stabilizers.
Yes, and AWA is specifically recommended for single-core cables. Unlike SWA, AWA is non-magnetic, eliminating eddy current losses and preventing overheating .
Yes. We provide third-party verified test reports for IEC 61034-2 (smoke density), IEC 60754-1/2 (halogen & corrosivity), and IEC 60332 (flame retardancy) upon request.
