What governing standard and construction define EIPF (NF M 87-202 EIPF Individual & Overall Screened Lead-Sheathed Armoured Instrument Cable)?

EIPF (NF M 87-202 EIPF Individual & Overall Screened Lead-Sheathed Armoured Instrument Cable) is manufactured in accordance with NF M 87-202 / IEC 60332-3 for 500 V service over -30 °C to +70 °C. Its 11-layer construction comprises stranded stranded copper conductor, al/pet individual screen, pvc individual sheath, pvc core insulation, plastic binder tape, al/pet overall screen, pvc inner sheath, lead moisture barrier, inner steel armour tape, outer steel armour tape, pvc outer sheath.

What is the minimum bending radius and installation temperature for EIPF?

The minimum installed bending radius for EIPF is 12 × OD across its continuous operating temperature range of -30 °C to +70 °C, ensuring mechanical and dielectric stability without conductor or insulation strain.

How are the concentric layers of EIPF arranged from inside to outside?

From inside to outside, the construction sequence is: (01) Stranded stranded copper conductor (High-conductivity stranded copper conductor per NF M 87-202 / IEC 60332-3); (02) Al/PET individual screen (Al/PET individual screen metallic electromagnetic screen (individual core / group layer)); (03) PVC individual sheath (Extruded PVC individual sheath protective layer (individual core / group layer)); (04) PVC core insulation (Extruded PVC dielectric (individual core / group layer)); (05) Plastic binder tape (Helically applied plastic binder tape); (06) Al/PET overall screen (Al/PET overall screen metallic electromagnetic screen (lapped tape)); (07) PVC inner sheath (Extruded PVC inner sheath protective layer (continuous layer)); (08) Lead moisture barrier (Extruded Lead moisture barrier protective layer (continuous layer)); (09) Inner steel armour tape (Inner steel armour tape mechanical protection (lapped tape)); (10) Outer steel armour tape (Outer steel armour tape mechanical protection (lapped tape)); (11) PVC outer sheath (Extruded PVC outer sheath protective layer (continuous layer)).

What factory test certificates are supplied with EIPF?

Every production drum or spool of EIPF undergoes routine conductor DC resistance, dimensional and dielectric/integrity testing per NF M 87-202 / IEC 60332-3, and is delivered with an EN 10204 3.1 factory test certificate.
