Power cable types

Preferred power cable types, IEC and North America
Recommended cable types are presented here. Check with local / state / country
electrical codes for allowance.
Cable type
Symmetrical shielded (or armored)
cable with three phase conductors
and concentric PE conductor as
shield (or armor)
Symmetrical shielded (or armored)
cable with three phase conductors
and symmetrically constructed PE
conductor and a shield (or armor)
Symmetrical shielded (or armored)
cable with three phase conductors
and a shield (or armor), and
separate PE conductor/cable
1)
A separate PE conductor is required if the conductivity of the shield (or armor) is not sufficient
for the PE use. For IEC 61800-5-1 requirements, see page 90.
