PIRELLI EARTHSHIELD AND LSX

A NEW APPROACH TO MECHANICALLY AND ELECTRICALLY

PROTECTED CABLES

• A small, lightweight, robust, easy to install cable system offering mechanical and electrical protection through an earth metallic covering

• A cost effective solution for many small power and lighting applications

• 300/500V grade (Earthshield) or 600/1000V grade (LSX)

WHAT IS EARTHSHIELD AND LSX

LSX CABLE DESCRIPTION

LSX - KEY FEATURES

• Ease of installation

• Lightweight – Typically 60% reduction on equivalent armoured cable or 30% on equivalent MICC cable

• Small diameter – Typically 30% reduction on equivalent armoured cable

• Improved current ratings – 90ºC insulation system

• Earthing – Full size CPC automatically earths metallic screen

LSX – Ease of installation

• Dressable construction offers a combination of rigidity and ease of bending, ideal for surface mounting or tray installation

• Easy to strip and terminate without special tools

• Easy to gland with metal or IP68 plastic glands (indoor or outdoor)

•Suitable for indoor and outdoor installation (with suitable sheath colour)

• Installed cost savings compared with armoured or MICC types

LSX – Exceptional fire performance

• Low smoke emission BS EN 50268 (BS7622)

• Low acid gas emission BS EN 50267-2-1(less than 0.5%)

(BS6425-1)

• Low acidity of emissions BS EN 50267-2-3 (BS6425-2)

• Flame retardant BS EN 50265-2-1 (BS4066-1)

• Reduced flame propagation BS EN 50266-2-4 (BS4066-3)

LSX – Electrical Protection

• Protection from accidental penetration by nails, screws and the like

• Means of compiance with clause 522-06-06 of BS7671/IEE Wiring regulations

• Independently tested by ERA Technology under nail penetration conditions

• Will be recognised as giving equivalent protection as armoured or concentric cable in AMD 2 to BS7671:2001

• New standard BS8436

LSX - TYPICAL APPLICATION

• Small power

• Lighting – HPS, Tungsten and fluorescent

LSX - TYPICAL APPLICATION

• Fixed appliances – Fans, heaters, hand dryers

• EMC and clean power supply

LSX - TYPICAL APPLICATION

• Thin walls and partitions

• Building mounted lighting
