What's difference of Drincable 600 and Drincable 800
- The Drincable 600 Cable is suitable for permanent immersion in potable water to a depth of 600 meters and 800 meters. WRAS approved, it will not support microbial growth, or affect the taste, appearance, transparency or colour of water. It will not introduce metals or toxic substances. Designed for submersible pumps for drinking water, depuration and chlorination systems, electrical installations in manufacturing, processing and preserving systems of drinks and foodstuff, swimming pool lightings, and other water treatment operations. Available as a circular or flat configuration.
- The Drincable 800 CableWRAS-approved cable suitable for permanent submersion in potable water up to a depth of 800m. Can be used where improved chemical and abrasion resistance is required, including submersible pumps in mining application, submersible pumps for drinking water, depuration / chlorination systems, swimming pool lighting, aquariums and processing and preserving systems of drink and foodstuff. Water resistance tested to EN 50525-2-21 (AD8 condition)

- This Submersible Drincable 600 and 800 drinking water cable is a durable, waterproof electrical cable designed to power pumps which are permanently submerged in water, especially for drinking water systems. The cable is constructed with class 5 flexible copper conductors, EPR insulation and a special XLPE outer sheath. The cable is resistant to water, chemicals, and abrasion. The cables have successfully passed rigorous testing and are fully qualified to the British WRAS certification,the French ACS certification for direct and permanent immersion in potable water and are respecting the Italian DM 174/04 .The approval protocols have verified the absence of microbial growth,the water taste, appearance, transparency and colour and the absence of any metals or toxic substances.

Quality Assurance
Testing at every stage in our own workshop and laboratory, from incoming copper to the packed drum.

Raw Material Inspection
Every batch of copper rod, rubber compound and reinforcing material is checked before it reaches the line.
- Copper: conductor resistance, elongation and surface condition on incoming rod and drawn wire
- EPR, CPE, PUR and silicone compounds: hardness, tensile strength, elongation and ageing samples from each mix
- Suppliers and batch numbers are recorded so every drum can be traced back to its materials

Manufacturing Process Control
Stranding, insulation extrusion, core assembly and sheathing run under recorded process parameters.
- Class 5/6 stranding with lay length and tension monitored for trailing and reeling flexibility
- Continuous-vulcanisation extrusion with wall thickness and spark tests logged on every length
- Operators sign off each stage before the cable moves to the next machine

Electrical Testing
Finished lengths go through the routine tests required by the referenced VDE, ICEA, IEC or NEK standard.
- Conductor resistance and insulation resistance on every length
- Voltage withstand (3.5 kV and higher) and partial-discharge measurement in the shielded HV laboratory
- Screen and pilot-core continuity checks for mining and reeling constructions

Mechanical and Ageing Tests
Samples from production are tested for the duty a mining, crane or submersible cable will actually see.
- Tensile strength and elongation of insulation and sheath before and after ageing
- Hot-set, ozone, oil-immersion and low-temperature bending tests
- Constant-temperature water bath for insulation resistance of submersible constructions

Flame Test and Final Inspection
Before packing, the cable is checked against the order and the flame-performance requirement of its standard.
- Single-cable vertical flame test to IEC 60332-1-2 where specified
- Metre marking, printing, drum length and appearance inspection
- Test report and packing list issued with every shipment
