АS

AS is a designation for an aluminum cable with armor and PVC insulation, used in various electrical systems. The AS cable is a reliable and cost-effective solution for wiring, providing protection against mechanical damage and environmental influences due to its aluminum conductors and armor. Construction of the AS Cable A — Aluminum conductors: Aluminum is used to reduce the cost and weight of the cable. Although aluminum's conductivity is lower than that of copper, its lightness and cost make it an attractive choice. S — Armored: The cable has armor, typically made of steel wire or tape, providing additional protection against mechanical damage and external influences. PVC — PVC insulation and sheath: Conductors are insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), protecting against moisture, chemicals, and mechanical damage. The cable may also have an additional PVC sheath for enhanced protection. Applications The AS cable is used in various fields: Power: Used for transmitting and distributing electricity in distribution systems. Industry: Suitable for use in industrial installations where protection against mechanical damage is required. External wiring: Used for outdoor wiring where the cable may be exposed to physical damage or aggressive conditions.
