- 0.6/1 kV

- KON and distributed-PE configurations; overall tinned-copper braid
S1BC4N8-F is a 0.6/1 kV screened submersible pump cable for variable-frequency-drive wastewater pumps, mixers and related equipment. EPR-insulated Class 5 plain copper conductors sit inside a blue EPR inner sheath. A tinned-copper braid surrounds that inner sheath, with a black CPE outer sheath protecting the assembly.
The 12 listed configurations cover KON designs and larger constructions with three distributed protective conductors. In a designation such as 3×25+3G16/3, the protective-conductor cross-section is distributed around the three phase cores. Select this arrangement together with the motor terminal drawing and the required protective-earth connection.
The overall braid provides the screen path for the drive connection; the protective conductors provide the PE circuit. Plan effective screen contact at both cable ends, with appropriate glands and bonding to the equipment enclosure. Keep the braid termination geometry and motor-cable routing consistent with the drive and motor installation instructions.
The table brings together diameter over screen, finished diameter limits, bend radii, mass and electrical data so the cable and its accessories can be selected together. Send the drive output, motor rating, route length, entry dimensions and wastewater composition when enquiring. Water depth and temperature limits are confirmed for the project after enquiry. Provide separate cable supports and mechanical pump lifting equipment.
Construction
Cable layers are listed from the conductor to the outer sheath.
| Layer | Construction |
|---|---|
| Power conductors | Plain fine-stranded copper, Class 5 to IEC 60228. |
| Insulation | EPR rubber with power core identification to DIN VDE 0293-308. |
| Protective conductor | KON or three distributed PE conductors, as identified separately in the configuration table. |
| Inner sheath | Blue EPR rubber. |
| Metallic screen | Tinned-copper braid between inner and outer sheath. |
| Outer sheath | Black water- and oil-resistant CPE compound. |
Applications
Use this construction for variable-frequency-drive wastewater pumps and submersible mixers. Match the cable to the actual equipment, route and water medium before selecting the final configuration.
- Match the KON or distributed-PE layout to the motor and connector drawing.
- Provide effective screen contact at both cable ends; the screen and protective conductor have separate functions.
- Specify drive output, motor-cable length and entry-seal dimensions when requesting a replacement.
Keep contaminated-water routes accessible for inspection. Review aggressive chemicals and varying effluent composition individually. Provide cable support and strain relief separately from the pump lifting system.
