Type P 1C Unarmoured 2 kV Marine Power Cable

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

Type P 1C unarmoured cable is specified for efficient and reliable 2,000 V AC power service on fixed and floating offshore facilities, marine vessels, land-based facilities and oilfield equipment. This Type P 1C unarmoured cable combines a single-conductor, non-armoured format with irradiated cross-linked polyolefin insulation. The irradiation process is stated to provide thorough material cross-linking, supporting the specified oil, drilling-fluid, hydraulic-oil, saltwater, abrasion, moisture and UV resistance.

Choose Type P 1C unarmoured cable where the project cable schedule calls for a single-conductor Type P construction and the route supplies the required mechanical protection. Its 125°C maximum insulation operating temperature is distinct from the stated 110°C continuous operating rating used by UL, CSA and ABS. Ampacity must therefore be selected from the stated standard basis, ambient temperature and installation method—not from insulation temperature alone.

• Suitable for: stated 2 kV AC feeder and power connections in marine, offshore, oilfield and land-based facility duty.
• Confirm before ordering: conductor size, route protection, installation location, ambient temperature, ampacity basis, termination and documentation.
• Use a different construction when: the cable schedule requires armouring, a different voltage class, or another conductor configuration.

Type P 1C unarmoured cable construction

The supplied Type P 1C unarmoured cable information identifies a single-conductor, unarmoured construction with irradiated cross-linked polyolefin insulation. The insulation is described as thoroughly cross-linked through irradiation and is the construction feature connected to the stated resistance to oils, drilling muds and fluids, hydraulic gear oil, saltwater, abrasion, moisture and UV light.

Construction selection notes

• Type P 1C unarmoured cable relies on the specified installation route for mechanical protection; confirm trays, cabinets, raceways, supports, glands and terminations against the project requirements.
• The supplied information identifies insulation and overall configuration. Confirm conductor material, stranding, final insulation thickness, overall diameter and accessory compatibility from the approved size drawing.
• Do not treat Type P 1C unarmoured cable as an armoured alternative where the design basis requires mechanical armour or a different hazardous-location construction.

Type P 1C unarmoured cable applications

Type P 1C unarmoured cable is intended for the stated 2,000 V AC power service on fixed and floating offshore facilities, marine vessels, land-based facilities and oilfield equipment. The supplied application scope includes installations in Unclassified, Class I Division 2 and Zone 2 locations when installed in accordance with the referenced standards and the regulations of the authority having jurisdiction.

Installation and selection guidance

• Use Type P 1C unarmoured cable for the specified single-conductor power circuit, not as a generic replacement for multi-conductor, armoured or medium-voltage cable.
• For cabinet and raceway installations, apply the installation guidance of the applicable standard and verify the project cable schedule.
• Base Type P 1C unarmoured cable ampacity on the selected free-air or raceway condition, 45°C ambient basis and the stated temperature column.
• Confirm the classification of the location, cable support method, bending and termination arrangement, and required inspection documentation before release.

For offshore power feeders, Type P 1C unarmoured cable helps the buyer separate a route-protected single-conductor requirement from a request that needs an armoured or multi-core construction.

Nominal dimensions and weight

Type P 1C unarmoured cable dimensions are nominal and subject to standard manufacturing tolerances and change without notice. Confirm the selected product number and final drawing before ordering.

Ampacity at 45°C ambient in free air

• IEC* values are prorated from square-millimetre sizes from IEC 60092-352 and DNV-OS-D201.
• The supplied 2 kV material also identifies separate HD entries. Confirm the exact product number and construction when requesting that configuration.
• Unarmoured Type P 1C unarmoured cable is suitable for cabinets and raceways using the installation guidance of the applicable standard.
