APPLICATION

600/1000V 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 cable ducts, in trenches, underground

and in direct burial applications,

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.


The steel wire armoured construction

provides mechanical protection for

demanding fixed installation routes.


This cable is commonly used for power

and control 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, number of cores,

conductor size, conductor material,

armour type, installation method

and project specification.

BS5467 600/1000V XLPE insulated

PVC sheathed armoured cable is commonly

selected for low voltage power distribution

where mechanical protection and fixed

installation are required.


For multicore cables, steel wire armour

is commonly used to provide mechanical

protection.


If low smoke zero halogen sheath

performance is required, BS6724 cable

is usually selected instead.

FAQ


What is this BS5467 cable used for?


This cable is used for fixed low voltage

power distribution.


It is suitable for buildings,

industrial plants, infrastructure projects,

outdoor routes, cable ducts, trenches

and underground installations.



What is the voltage rating of this cable?


This page is for 600/1000V

XLPE insulated PVC sheathed armoured cable

to BS5467.



Is this cable LSZH?


No. BS5467 cable normally uses

a PVC outer sheath.


If LSZH performance is required,

BS6724 cable is usually selected instead.



Is this cable fire resistant?


BS5467 cable has flame retardant

performance according to relevant

fire test requirements.


It should not be described as a

BS6387 circuit integrity fire resistant cable

unless mica tape and circuit integrity

performance are specified.



Is this cable armoured?


Yes. This page is for armoured

BS5467 cable.


The armour provides mechanical protection

for fixed installation routes.



Can this cable be used underground?


Yes. It can be used in underground routes,

cable ducts, trenches and direct burial

applications, subject to project specification

and local installation requirements.



What information is required for quotation?


Please confirm voltage rating,

number of cores, conductor size,

conductor material, armour type

and cable length.


Installation method, sheath colour,

standard and destination port

are also required.



Can BURYCABLE supply BS5467

600/1000V armoured cable?


Yes. BURYCABLE can supply BS5467

600/1000V XLPE insulated PVC sheathed

armoured power cables.


We can support different core numbers,

conductor sizes, conductor materials,

armour types, lengths and packing requirements.
