  • (a): colour-coded insulation or covering.
  • (b): colour-coded or continuously numbered proofed tape over the insulation or covering.
  • (c): colour-coded or continuously numbered semiconductive tape over the insulation.
  • (d): colour-coded yarn in composite screen.
  • (e): Type 441 and 455----colour-coded or numbered semiconductive elastomer insulation screen, identifiable at intervals not greater than 300mm.
  • (f): Type 450----colour-coded or numbered semiconductive tape over the composite screen.
  • *: Grey or white tape may be used.

B. Identification And Rotational Sequence :

  • Type No. Rotational sequence of core colours
    209* Red, White, Blue
    210* Red, White, Blue
    240 Red, Grey, White, Grey, Blue, Grey

    245*** Red, Black, White, Black, Blue, Black**
    260 Red, Grey, White, Grey, Blue, Grey
    275* Red, Black, White, Black, Blue, Black**
    409 Red, White, Blue. The central pilot core is grey
    412 Red, Green/Yellow, White, Green/Yellow, Blue, Green/Yellow
    440 Red, Grey, White, Grey, Blue, Grey
    441** Red, Black, White, Black, Blue, Black. The central pilot core is grey
    450** Red, Black, White, Black, Blue, Grey
    455 Red, Black, White, Black, Blue, Grey
  • *The central pilot conductor insulation in all cases is coloured grey.
  • **The earth conductors (Type 241, 245, 275, 441 and 450) are covered with semiconductive elastomer which is inherently black; it is not possible to assign the normal (green/yellow) earth colour identification to these conductors.
  • ***The central pilot/control conductor insulation are coloured grey and numbered 1, 2 and 3.
