Some cables that we use (for example for the connection between BUI and the meter cabinet) are available as halogen-free cables / the sheathing may be different to others. What does this mean?

What is a halogen-free cable? Halogen-free cables are cables that do not contain any materials with elements from the halogen group. Halogens, such as chlorine, are excellent insulators as non-conductors and are therefore often used as sheathing materials for cables. The most common example of this is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). However, the use of halogens also harbors risks.
For the connecting cable between the BUI and the meter cabinet, it does not matter whether XLPE or PVC-sheathed cables are used.
VPE = vernetzter Polyethylen-Isolierung -> cross-linked polyethylene insulation (XLPE)
