APPLICATION

600/1000V single core XLPE insulated

PVC sheathed armoured cable to BS5467

is designed for fixed low voltage

power distribution.


It is suitable for commercial buildings,

industrial plants, infrastructure projects,

utility installations and outdoor power systems.


The cable can be installed on cable trays,

in ducts, in trenches, underground

and in protected direct burial routes,

subject to project specification

and local installation requirements.


The XLPE insulation provides reliable

electrical performance and thermal stability.


The PVC outer sheath provides general

protection against moisture, abrasion

and normal installation conditions.


For single core AC systems,

aluminium wire armour is commonly used

to reduce magnetic losses.


The armoured construction provides

mechanical protection for demanding

fixed installation routes.


This cable is commonly used for power

circuits where mechanical protection

and stable power supply are required.


It should not be described as a BS6387

fire resistant circuit integrity cable

unless mica tape and circuit integrity

performance are specified.


The cable should be selected according to

voltage rating, conductor size,

conductor material, armour type,

installation method and project specification.

BS5467 single core XLPE insulated

PVC sheathed armoured cable is commonly

selected for low voltage power distribution

where mechanical protection and fixed

installation are required.


For single core AC circuits,

non-magnetic armour such as AWA

is normally recommended.


If low smoke zero halogen sheath

performance is required, BS6724 cable

is usually selected instead.
