Immersion & wet locations
Certified for AD8 permanent water immersion up to 100 m depth in groundwater, slurries, and sewage.
Product
S1BN8-F is a heavy-duty 0.6/1 kV AD8 permanent-submersion and industrial flexible rubber power cable coded to CENELEC HD 361. Serving as the 0.6/1 kV and +90 °C EPR ('B') upgrade to H07RN8-F, it combines higher continuous current capacity and 1000 V
Typical values for this cable type, based on EN 50525-2-21 AD8 / HD 361 / VDE 0285 — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Engineered for high-head submersible dewatering pumps, quarry and mine sump risers, floating pontoons, municipal wastewater plants, and heavy 0.6/1 kV wet industrial feeders.
Certified for AD8 permanent water immersion up to 100 m depth in groundwater, slurries, and sewage.
Tough EM2 polychloroprene ('N8') outer jacket resists wet quarry floors, pontoons, and trench dragging.
1000 V +90 °C EPR rating makes it ideal for long vertical borehole risers and industrial tray runs.
Widely deployed for dewatering pump stations and flooded heading feeders in mines and tunnels.
Unscreened construction; select copper-braid screened S1BC4N8-F for VFD-driven submersible pumps.
