Application
MPRX® 0.6/1 kV power and control cables are used for wiring fixed installations not subject to mechanical risk. The highly
flexible MPRX® FLEXISHIP® range is recommended for installations and connections in narrow spaces where an optimal bending
radius is required. The sectoral conductors of multicore cables provide further space and weight savings on the cable trays.
Designed with halogen-free fire retardant materials, they provides optimum safety for people and maximal asset protection
against all risks of fire.

Cables for variable frequency drives
Application
Motor supply cable for frequency converters controlled low voltage AC drives on ships, called VFD applications. MPRXCX® EMC
cables are designed with a special coverage, copper-polyester tape and braid, which provide a 100% EMC protection.
Insu-lation with low dielectric constant is used to reduce reflected wave voltage peak magnitude. Symmetrical insulated ground
wires, placed in corner, can reduce reflected wave and return common mode noisy currents back to the drive. Enhanced
insulation is implement for 0.6/1(1.2) kV cable to fulfill periodic peak voltage up to 2xU=2 kV due to harmonics. These cables
are used on board of ships in all locations for fixed installations.

INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL CABLES
Introduction
Shipboard cables manufactured by Nexans are designed for

fixed applications for circuits rated at 150/250 V, and are
complying with IEC 60092-376 standard. Multi-cores cables
are mainly dedicated for control, whereas multi pairs, triples
or quads are for instrumentation devices.
Control and Instrumentation cables are proposed in versions:

• Un-armoured: MPRX® for control or TX® for instrumentation.
•A
rmoured: MPRXCX® for control or TCX® for instrumentation.
TX® and TCX® ranges are designed with individual screen
over each unit (I) or collective screen over the assembly of
units (C).
Conductor Insulation
Tinned or bare copper, class 2 stranded conductors with 7 As for the power cables, Nexans‘s choice is for XLPE
wires are generally required for control and instrumentation compound according to IEC 60092-360 that offers the best
links. The most commun nominal cross-section areas are 0.75 compromise in terms of mechanical and electrical properties.
and 1 mm² for control, 0.75 and 1.5 mm² for instrumentation. XLPE compound has also a low permittivity value about 2.3.
Due to assembly length factor for large number of unit, electrical Cabling
resistance are not strictly in accordance with IEC 60228, For instrumentation range, in adjacent units, different cores
but electrical resistance values are complying with lay lengths are selected, in order to reduce inductive effects

Power & control
Application
MPRX® 331 0.6/1 kV fire resistant power and control cables maintain circuit integrity in case of fire by meeting performances re-
quirements from the IEC 60331 series for 90 minutes. They are used for detection and warning systems not subject to mechanical
risk. The highly flexible MPRX® 331 FLEXISHIP® range is recommended for installations and connections in narrow spaces where
an optimal bending radius is required. The sectoral conductors of multicore cables provide further space and weight savings on
the cable trays. Designed with halogen-free fire retardant materials, they provides optimum safety for people and maximal asset
protection against all risks of fire.

MEDIUM VOLTAGE CABLES
Introduction
Nexans produces medium voltage cables for power backbone and propulsion in 1.8/3 kV, 6/10 kV, 8.7/15 kV and up to
12/20 kV. These cables are designed for fixed applications on board of commercial, offshore or navy vessels.
In order to provide easier installation conditions (enhanced flexibility and easy pulling) and shorter bending radius the
products MPRXCX® and MEPRXCX® FLEXISHIP® are designed with class 5 conductors.
In particular Nexans Variable frequency Driver cables (VFD) are designed to improve EMC protection compared to
regular screened types and the operating performance of VFD systems used for thrusters, movable propulsion systems, lifts
or drives.
Conductor Power copper conductors according to IEC 60228

All conductors integrated in Nexans shipboard cables are
strictly compliant with the International Electrical Committee Class 5

its own SHF1 compound that offers a good compromise of
95 0.769
performances (cold behaviour and oil drops resistance at
ambient temperature). For permanent oil contact SHF2
Insulation compound is recommended.
Nexans has selected either Halogen-free XLPE (cross-linked
polyethylene) compound for all power MV cables up to
6/10 kV, or Halogen-free EPR (ethylene propylene rubber)
for MV cables with 8.7/15 kV or 12/20 kV voltages.
All material characteristics: electrical, mechanical and chemi-

cal are complying with the requirements of IEC 60092-360.
XLPE and EPR compounds can be used for a permanent

conductor temperature of 90°C. It corresponds to a life time
of more than 40 years (Arrhenius ageing curve). These cross-
linked compounds can also withstand a 250°C temperature
in case of short circuit.

Cables for variable frequency drives
Application
Motor supply cable for frequency converters controlled low voltage AC drives on ships, called VFD applications. MPRXCX®
FLEXISHIP® EMC cables are designed with a special coverage, copper-polyester tape and braid, which provide a 100% EMC
protection. Insulation with low dielectric constant is used to reduce reflected wave voltage peak magnitude.
Symmetrical insulated ground wires, placed in corner, can reduce reflected wave and return common mode noisy currents back to
the drive. Enhanced insulation is implement for 1.8/3 (3.6) kV cable to fulfill periodic peak voltage up to 3 kV due to harmonics.
These cables are used on board of ships in all locations for fixed installations.

ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS FOR POWER CABLES
For power, low voltage and medium voltage cables, cross section nominal areas are calculated in taking into account several
parameters as:
• permissible current carrying capacities
• voltage drop
• short circuit values.
Permissible current carrying capacities

Permissible current carrying capacities are stated by the rules of Other important parameters are to be taken into account for the

on board. IEC 60287 (Electric cables - Calculation of current rating).
Method A: Calculation with the formula

I = A Sm - B Sn where I is the current rating capacity (in Ampere).
S is the nominal cross section area of conductor (in mm²).
A and B are coefficients, m and n are exponents according to cable type and method of installation.
This method allows for greater choice of use in different installation configurations (see IEC 60092-352 and/or IEC 60364-5-52).
Method B: Calculation with the formula

I = A S 0.625 where I is the current rating capacity (in Ampere).
S is the nominal cross section area of conductor (in mm²).
A is a coefficients depending on the conductor temperature class, e.g. A=17 for MPRX and
MPRXCX cables.

Correction factor for different ambient temperature

For other ambient air temperatures, correction factors have to be applied in line with IEC 60092-352.

Correction factor for cables grouping

When cables are installed in group, due to thermal effect, a correction factor 0.85 must be applied to reduce the current carrying
capacities.
Current ratings are recommended as being applicable to both unarmoured and armoured cables laid in free air as a group of
4 bunched together. These ratings may be considered applicable, without correction factors for a group of maximum 6 cables
bunched together on cable trays, operating simultaneously at their full rated capacity, without free air circulation around them.
When, it is to be expected that air temperature around cables could be higher than 45°C (due to heat transfer or in compart-
ments where heat is produced) the current rating given in the table shall be reduced.
Correction factor for short time duty

Correction factor could be also applied to maximise current ratings when cables are operating during a short period (less than 1
hour). This factor depends on the cable time constant and also on the cable diameter. For more details, see IEC 60092-352.
80
Correction factor for U.V. solar radiation
Nexans recommends shielding cables from direct solar exposition. For cables with black or grey sheath, in case of solar radiation,
a correction factors must be applied to the current carrying capacities given in the table:
• 0.8 for black colour of outer sheath
• 0.9 for light colour of outer sheath (e.g. light grey)
Cables with other colors are not intended for direct UV.
Voltage drop
Current carrying in an electrical link induces a voltage drop. This value is the difference between the measured voltages at both
ends of the link. In general, accpeted values (in percentage) are 3% for lighting and 5% for motors or other uses.
Voltage drop depends on:

• type of current: direct current (DC) or alternative current (AC) in single or tri-phased systems
• length of the link: directly proportional
• carrying current (amperage) and power factor (cos phi)
• cable and conductor electrical parameters: electrical resistance and inductance.
In direct current system: ∆U = 2 L R I

In single phased alternative current system: ∆U = 2 L I (R cosϕ + Z sin ϕ)
In tri-phased alternative current system: ∆U = L I √3 (R cos ϕ + Z Sin ϕ)
where
∆U voltage drop (in Volts).

L cable length (in km).
I current rating value (in Ampere).
cos ϕ power factor, if no details, power factor is cos ϕ = 0.8 and sin ϕ = 0.6.
Z reactance (in Ohm/km).
For a quick calculation, the following table gives the voltage drop for most of low voltage cables with XLPE (90°C temperature
class) and for various values of cos ϕ. Values are for a tri-phased system (3 or 4 conductor cable, or 3 single core cables).

Short circuit values

Cables and their insulated conductors must withstand the thermal effect produced by the short circuit which can flow in the circuit.
As the duration is low, normally less than 5 seconds, adiabatic heating in insulation compound is only considered. The short
circuit current rating calculation is based on the difference of conductor temperature before and at the end of the short circuit.
These temperatures are depending on the insulation compound, e.g. for XLPE, initial temperature is 90°C (maximum operating
conductor temperature) and final max temperature is 250°C.
Short circuit current ratings are also depending on the duration of the short circuit before the setting off the electrical protection
(circuit breaker or fuse).
The following table gives values for cables insulated with XLPE, HEPR and HF90 compounds as MPRX®, MPRXCX®, MPRX® 331
and MPRXCX® 331.

For other short circuit, the maximum short circuit rating is calculated with the formula:
I sc = A/√t where
I sc is the short circuit rating during ”t” second.
t is the short circuit duration.
A is the short circuit rating for 1 second.

ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS FOR
INSTRUMENTATION CABLES
For instrumentation cables, main electrical parameters are:

• electrical resistance and loop resistance
• current ratings
• voltage drop
• mutual capacitance
• loop inductance and L7R ratio
• insulation resistance (conductors, screen, armour)
All these values are given in the following table for Nexans TX® and TCX® range with bare copper conductor.

An other important parameter for these instrumentation cables could be the screen efficiency and the transfer impedance value
designated by Zt.
Nexans has studied screening efficiency for TX® and TCS® range. Curves (transfer impedance related to frequency) have been
established for various 7 pairs.

FF (kHz)
(kHz)
TX®(C): (Unarmoured, collective screen)

Electromagnetic screening of the TX (C) cable is simple and shows a medium protection in polluted electromagnetic surroundings.
TX®(I): (Unarmoured, individual screen)

TX (I) is an excellent compromise between TX (C) and TCX (C) cables.
TCX®(C): (Armoured, collective screen)

T he TCX (C) cable shows a low transfer impedance in low frequency and an effective screening in high frequency. TCX (C) would
be recommended in polluted electromagnetic surroundings.
TCX®(I): (Armoured, individual screen)

This cable type shows an excellent protection in both low and high frequency runs.

Exposure to the sun in open areas

Cables with black sheaths are intended for direct UV exposure. Cables with other sheath colors are sensitive to UV without impact
on the electrical functionality and the performances in terms of fire propagation and smoke emission.
Nexans recommends to protect cables which are sensitive to UV by UV-proof hoods installed over those. When cables are installed
in luminaries or lighting, specific protection of insulation and cables must be applied as required in IEC 60598.

CABLE SOLUTIONS WITH ENHANCED
FIRE SAFETY
Nexans provides a wide family of cables for ships and offshore platform focusing on innovation for improved fire
performance. Some developments ensure fire performance characteristics for the Nexans shipboard cables range as
flame and fire retardancy, smoke and fumes emission, fire resistance integrity and cable recycling after life time.
Nexans shipboard cables are fully withstanding the requirements of the following IEC standards:
FLAME RETARDANCY: IEC 60332-1

Test on a single vertical insulated wire on cable
This simple test provides an adequate evaluation of the flame
retardant characteristic of a single cable. Depending on the
cable size (diameter and weight) a regulated flame is
continuously applied for a calculated time to the cable.
The test is passed if the cable has self extinguished and the
burnt portion of the cable has not reached the top of the
sample
Flame Retardant
IEC 60332-1
88
FIRE RETARDANCY: IEC 60332-3
Test on bunced wires or cables
Cables, when installed, vertically or horizontally laid,
bunched on cable trays, in conduit or pipes, are potential
vectors for fire propagation.
This test was developed to obtain a method to determine the

fire propagation characteristic of a group of bunched cables
fixed on a vertical 3.5 m ladder.
The fire propagation along a bunch of cables depends on:

• The volume of combustible exposed to fire.
• T he geometrical configuration of the cables installation
(touching or spaced).
• T he temperature at which it is possible to ignite any emitted
gases from the cables.
• The quantity of combustible gas released from the cables.
• The volume of air passing through the cables installation.

systems, fire pump...
For electrical cables, tests are passed if no breakdown occurs

(no failure of the fuses).
