BS6724 single core LSZH armoured cable
with aluminium conductor is designed
for fixed power distribution systems
rated 1900/3300V.
It is suitable for buildings,
infrastructure projects, industrial facilities,
plant rooms, substations
and protected power distribution routes.
The aluminium conductor provides a practical
solution for projects where cable weight
and cost control are important.
The XLPE insulation provides reliable
electrical performance and thermal stability.
The LSZH sheath helps reduce smoke emission
and corrosive gas release in the event of fire.
For single core AC systems,
non-magnetic armour such as aluminium wire armour
is commonly used to reduce magnetic losses.
The armoured construction provides
mechanical protection for demanding
installation routes.
This cable is commonly installed on cable trays,
in ducts, in risers, in plant rooms
and in protected underground routes.
It is suitable for applications where
low smoke zero halogen performance,
mechanical protection and fixed installation
are required.
The cable should be selected according to
voltage rating, conductor size,
conductor material, armour type,
installation method and project specification.
