Stranded Copper Cable 4x240+120mm 0.6/1kV XLPE Insulated SWA Armoured 300m | Bahra Cables

Buhara 4×120+70 mm Cable: Detailed Technical Specifications

This non-armored Buhara 4x120 mm black cable is manufactured with stranded copper conductors, featuring a cross-sectional area of 240 mm² per phase and a neutral conductor with a cross-section of 120 mm². The insulation is made of XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene), which withstands operating temperatures up to 90°C, while the outer PVC sheath protects the cable from moisture and chemical corrosion. The rated voltage is 600/1000V, and the standard reel length is 300 meters.

Practical Applications in the Saudi Environment

In major construction projects in cities like Riyadh and Dammam, this cable is used to transmit power from substations to residential and commercial buildings. The primary challenge is high heat and humidity; this is where XLPE insulation plays a crucial role, maintaining electrical resistance even in hot conditions, unlike some cheaper alternatives that lose efficiency.

Non-Armored vs. Armored Cable: When to Choose?

The fundamental difference lies in mechanical protection. A non-armored cable lacks a steel layer, making it lighter and more cost-effective, but it is unsuitable for areas subject to direct mechanical stress, such as roads or underground installations without ducts. An armored cable includes a layer of interlocked steel wires to ensure protection against digging and impacts. If the cable will be installed inside PVC ducts or conduits, the non-armored option is the best choice both economically and technically.

Quick Buying Guide

When ordering a 4×120 stranded copper cable, ensure the brand is 'Buhara' to guarantee quality, and verify that the insulation is XLPE rather than standard PVC, as the latter may shrink over time under direct sunlight. Do not hesitate to inquire about product warranties and delivery schedules to Riyadh or Jeddah via the Matkal website.
