Halogen-free power cable N2XCH 0,6/1 kV 3x25 mm² RM/16 B61821

Halogen-free power cable N2XCH 0.6/1 kV – safety and reliability in one

The N2XCH cable is an advanced solution for electrical installations, designed with safety and durability in mind. Intended for power transmission in circuits rated at 0.6/1 kV, it performs excellently in both fixed installations and applications requiring flexibility. Manufactured from high-quality materials, it meets stringent standards for fire resistance and low emission of hazardous substances during combustion.

This cable is particularly recommended for use in locations with elevated safety requirements, such as public buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities. Its halogen-free sheath minimizes the risk of toxic gas release during fire, which is critical for protecting human health and life.

Construction and properties

The N2XCH cable features a robust construction ensuring long-term, reliable operation. It includes Class 1 solid copper conductors (per EN 60228 / IEC 60228), guaranteeing excellent electrical conductivity. The cable design also incorporates a concentric conductor, enhancing its shielding performance. This makes the cable resistant to electromagnetic interference and ensures stable power transmission.

• Halogen-free: The cable sheath contains no halogens, meaning no toxic gases are emitted during combustion – essential for environmental and health protection.
• Flame retardant: The cable complies with standards limiting flame spread, both on single cables and in cable bundles.
• Thermal resistance: Conductors withstand operating temperatures up to 90°C (fixed installation) and up to 50°C in mobile installations. Short-circuit conditions (up to 5 seconds) are rated up to 250°C.
• Flexibility: Enables easy installation and routing even under challenging conditions. Minimum bending radius is 15 x cable diameter.
• Application: Ideal for indoor installations, cable trays, protective conduits, and direct burial in soil (subject to specific specifications).

Technical specification and application

This specific N2XCH cable model features 3 cores with a cross-section of 25 mm². This cross-section makes it an ideal choice for circuits with high power demands. The cable is suitable for:

• Powering electrical equipment with high power consumption
• Power distribution in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings
• Control and automation systems
• Installations with enhanced fire safety requirements
• Fixed or mobile installations (within specified temperature ranges).

It is important to correctly select the conductor cross-section according to the load and to strictly follow safety guidelines during installation and operation. Proper cross-section selection ensures safe and efficient operation of the electrical installation for many years.
