Type P 1C Armored & Sheathed 2 kV Power Cable

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable for 2 kV marine and offshore power

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable is intended for 2,000 V AC electrical power service on shipboard and fixed or floating facilities, marine vessels, land-based facilities and oilfield equipment. This single-conductor Type P construction combines irradiation-cross-linked polyolefin insulation with metallic braid armour and a protective outer sheath. The supplied material connects the insulation system with resistance to oils, drilling muds and fluids, hydraulic gear oil, saltwater, abrasion, moisture and UV light.

Select Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable where the cable schedule requires a one-core Type P power circuit and route conditions call for an armoured, sheathed construction. The stated 125°C maximum insulation operating temperature is different from the supplied 110°C continuous rating; use the designated ampacity column and the real installation condition rather than selecting solely by insulation temperature.

• Suitable for: stated 2 kV AC marine, offshore, oilfield and facility power routes.
• Confirm before ordering: conductor size, installation method, ambient temperature, ampacity basis, armour bonding, glands and required documents.
• Choose another construction when: the project requires a different voltage class, a multi-core cable or a defined special-duty construction.

Review the Oil and Gas Cables range and the Marine & Offshore Cable Solutions page for related selection paths. Detailed Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable data is in the technical tabs.

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable construction

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable uses a single insulated conductor, metallic braid armour and a non-metallic outer sheath. The supplied product image visibly shows the braid and black sheathing around the insulated conductor. The supplied Type P family reference identifies bronze braid as the standard armour material and tinned-copper braid as an option; confirm the ordered armour material on the final drawing.

Construction selection notes

• Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable adds mechanical protection to the single-conductor Type P route; it is not a replacement for a different voltage, core configuration or project-specific screen design.
• Confirm the armour material, electrical continuity/bonding requirements, cable gland, termination and route support before release.
• The supplied source does not state final insulation thickness, bend radius or conductor stranding for each size. Obtain the approved dimensional drawing for the ordered Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable size.

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable applications

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable is specified for 2,000 V AC service on marine vessels, offshore fixed and floating facilities, land-based facilities and oilfield equipment. Its stated resistance to drilling fluids, hydraulic gear oil, saltwater, abrasion, moisture and UV exposure supports selection for demanding routes, provided the complete installation is checked against the project specification.

Installation and selection guidance

• Use Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable for the specified single-conductor power circuit, not as a generic replacement for a multi-core, unarmoured or medium-voltage cable.
• Base Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable ampacity on the selected free-air or raceway condition, 45°C ambient basis and stated temperature column.
• Confirm the location, support method, armour bonding, route protection, bending arrangement and termination system before ordering.
• For marine and offshore projects, specify the governing project standard, classification documentation and inspection requirements in the RFQ.

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable gives procurement teams a separate path when a single-core Type P power feeder needs armour and sheath protection instead of the existing route-protected unarmoured construction.

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable specifications

Nominal dimensions and weight

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable dimensions are nominal, subject to normal manufacturing tolerances and may change without notice. Confirm the exact product number and approved drawing before ordering.

Ampacity at 45°C ambient in free air

• IEC* ampacity values are prorated from square-millimetre sizes from IEC 60092-352 and DNV-OS-D201, as stated in the supplied data.
• Apply the Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable ampacity only to the selected installation condition and temperature column.
• Do not use these nominal values as a substitute for the ordered cable drawing, protection study or termination review.

Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable standards and references

The supplied Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable information states a 110°C continuous operating rating for UL, CSA and ABS. The following references are presented with the relationship supported by the supplied data and the Type P family reference; confirm the required current edition and model-specific documentation before ordering.

Documentation to identify at RFQ

• State the required project standard edition, vessel/offshore classification, inspection record and test documentation for the Type P 1C armored and sheathed cable order.
• Confirm whether armour continuity or bonding details are required at terminations; the metallic armour is not automatically the complete equipment grounding path.
• Provide the required fire, hazardous-location, cold-environment and material-resistance documentation only when it is specified for the project and ordered construction.
