Product overview

IEC 60092-353 0.6/1 (1.2) kV shipboard power cables serve fixed low-voltage distribution, motor feeders, lighting circuits and multiconductor control runs aboard commercial vessels, passenger ships and marine support craft. Unlike offshore IEC 60092-354mud-resistant RFOU/BFOU cables designed for drilling rigs, IEC 60092-353 constructions are optimized for shipboard bulkhead transits, ladder trays and enclosed deckhouse or machinery spaces.

Four core construction families cover standard and severe shipboard compartments. Unarmoured and copper-braid armoured designs are offered with either a halogen-free flame-retardant SHF1 outer sheath for accommodation, bridge and dry technical rooms, or a cross-linked oil-resistant SHF2 elastomer sheath tested to 100 °C for 24 hours for engine rooms, pump rooms and ballast water treatment systems (BWTS).

Standard power cables use IEC 60228 Class 2 stranded plain or tinned copper conductors with 90 °C XLPE insulation (250 °C short-circuit rating) in 1, 2, 3 and 4 cores from 1.5 mm² up to 120 mm², plus multiconductor control formations from 5 to 37 cores in 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm². Flexible Class 5 tinned copper constructions are also available for compact BWTS skids and vibration-prone machinery connections.

Select the armouring, sheath compound (SHF1 or SHF2), core count and conductor cross-section using the dimensional and IEC 60092-352 current-rating tables below. Include cable route length, ambient temperature, grouping conditions and bulkhead gland sizes when requesting a technical quotation.

All outer diameters and cable masses are nominal values for Class 2 copper constructions; SHF1 and SHF2 sheath options share the same nominal dimensions and masses across each core and armour series.

Maximum DC conductor resistance values at 20 °C follow IEC 60228 Class 2 plain copper. When converting measured resistance at another temperature T (between 5 °C and 100 °C) back to 20 °C, apply the IEC 60228 temperature factor Kt (e.g., Kt = 1.042 at 10 °C, 1.000 at 20 °C, 0.962 at 30 °C, 0.926 at 40 °C, 0.893 at 50 °C, 0.781 at 90 °C).

Permissible current ratings in the dimensional and reference tables apply to continuous duty at 45 °C ambient air temperature and 90 °C maximum conductor temperature in accordance with IEC 60092-352. Multiply by the ambient correction factor when machinery-space temperatures differ from 45 °C, and apply IEC 60092-352 grouping factors where multiple cables are bunched on a tray.

For single-core AC circuits above 25 mm², install cables in trefoil or flat spaced configurations with non-magnetic gland plates to control eddy-current heating in bulkheads.

Cables are manufactured and factory-tested to the referenced IEC standards; third-party marine classification witnessing or project-specific test protocols should be specified at the quotation stage.
