01Technical description

Concentric cable is an anti-fraud service-entrance cable per NTC 4564 and UL 854: copper phases insulated in 90 °C XLPE at 600 V, surrounded by a concentric neutral of copper wires under a weather-resistant PVC jacket. The enveloping neutral makes illegal tapping difficult.

The industrial concentric cable is a supply solution in which conductors are arranged around a core, useful for service entrances, taps and equipment connection when the design calls for compact construction and easy identification. At TECTUL it is quoted in 2x and 3x configurations according to the load and connection scheme indicated by the customer. Selection must be made with electrical drawings, design current, route length, installation method and RETIE requirements. It differs from THHN/THWN cable because it arrives as a concentric assembly; it does not replace the sizing of individual conductors in raceway when the project requires phases separated by color, duct or panel.

Mounting recommendations

  • Define whether the installation requires 2x or 3x based on the system, load and upstream protection.
  • Avoid improvised splices; use certified connectors and a box or panel with sufficient space.
  • Protect the cable against abrasion, crushing and humidity according to the installation route.
  • Verify polarity, continuity and insulation before placing the service entrance in operation.

Service-entrance cable per NTC 4564 and UL 854, for overhead or underground services per NTC 2050 article 230, in 2x (single-phase) and 3x (two-phase or delta three-phase depending on the network) configurations.

02Frequently asked questions

What is the price of industrial concentric cable?

It is quoted by configuration, gauge, length and availability. TECTUL does not publish fixed prices; send your requirement via WhatsApp.

What does 2x or 3x concentric cable mean?

The lot data indicates 2x and 3x configurations. The choice depends on the electrical scheme, number of required conductors and equipment or service entrance load.

How is it different from THHN/THWN cable by gauge?

Concentric cable is supplied as a conductor assembly. THHN/THWN is purchased as an individual conductor for installation in raceway or panel.

Can it be used in industrial service entrances?

Yes, when the electrical design allows it and gauge, protection, route, terminals and RETIE compliance are validated.

How is this cable mounted?

It must be installed with mechanical protection, suitable cable glands or connectors, without forced bend radii and with electrical tests before energizing.

What data should I send for a quote?

2x or 3x configuration, gauge, length, use, delivery city and any standard or specification required by inspection.

Why is concentric cable anti-fraud?

Because the neutral fully wraps the phases: tapping energy before the meter would require cutting the concentric neutral, which unbalances the circuit and leaves physical evidence — the reason utilities require it on service drops.

Which configuration do I order: 2x or 3x?

2x (phase + concentric neutral) for single-phase services and 3x (two phases + neutral) for two-phase; the size comes from the calculated service load per NTC 2050 article 230.
