BS6724 LSZH armoured power cable
1900/3300V is designed for fixed
power distribution systems.
It is suitable for buildings,
infrastructure projects, substations,
industrial plants, transport systems,
utility networks and protected power routes.
The cable is designed for installations
where low smoke zero halogen performance
and mechanical protection are required.
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.
The armoured construction provides
mechanical protection for demanding
installation routes.
Single core cables are normally supplied
with non-magnetic armour such as AWA.
Multicore cables are normally supplied
with steel wire armour such as SWA or GSWA.
This cable is commonly installed on cable trays,
in ducts, in risers, in plant rooms,
substations and protected underground routes.
It is suitable for fixed installations
where flame retardance, low smoke performance
and mechanical protection are required.
The cable should be selected according to
voltage rating, number of cores,
conductor size, conductor material,
armour type, installation method
and project specification.
