Chris Beesley Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi IanL - I will check up on the specifications of this product tomorrow. The information was taken directly from the information offered by our suppliers. Looking at the part code for the cable (HPC1925FG) this suggests this may well be a typo carried over from the four channel spiders. Regards Chris BeesleyProduct ManagerCPC The products are manufactured from 19-core cable. Our website will be updated with the correct specifications.

TonyMitchell Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Chris am I being thick and missing something? that premade soca you posted a link to is, I quote, "rated at 240v" is that not a little ambiguous, i.e. what about the common practice of patching off different packs on different phases down the same spider and into your premade soca?

Chris Beesley Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi Folks, Hopefully we can close this one off now - the correct spec for the cable used in our new Socapex cables can be seen here on the Proel website. Our website etc will be updated at he earliest opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks very much! Although one spec on that has confused me a little:What does it mean by "300 / 500 V" for working voltage? Is one for AC and the other for DC, or something completely different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokm Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Something to do with 3phase voltage in the USA & here in the UK/Europe? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P. Funk Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Yeah, however a UK volt is the same as a US volt - why give two ratings, even if its to be used at 120 or 240 3 phase? Surely just saying 500V would be best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Beesley Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 The rating will refer to the inner cores - each core has an insualtion rated at 300V, or from core to core a rating of 500V. This is a standard rating for most cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
