The BURY CABLE BS 6724 600/1000V range covers XLPE-insulated, LSZH-sheathed armoured cables for fixed low-voltage power distribution. Typical applications include commercial buildings, public facilities, infrastructure and industrial plants where the specification calls for low-smoke, halogen-free sheathing and mechanical protection.
Select the construction around the circuit design: conductor material, number of cores, cross-sectional area and armour arrangement all matter. The range includes single-core aluminium wire armoured (AWA) and multicore galvanised steel wire armoured (SWA) options. Copper and aluminium versions have separate product specifications, dimensions and termination requirements.
Use this overview to compare the main construction choices, then follow the relevant product link for its dedicated size table. Confirm the installation route, electrical design requirements and approved supply specification before ordering.

600/1000V armoured power cable range for fixed installations.
XLPE insulation and an LSZH outer sheath, with the final material grades agreed for the selected cable.
Single-core AWA and multicore galvanised steel wire armour options.
Copper or aluminium conductor variants, selected by the required core arrangement and conductor size.
Separate flame-retardance, halogen-content and smoke-density references in the technical table.
Product-specific pages for dimensions, approximate weights and conductor-form notes.
Define the circuit and conductor arrangement. State the voltage, number of cores, conductor material and cross-sectional area. Confirm the conductor form and class for the selected product and size. The general construction table covers family options; it does not establish one conductor class for every copper and aluminium variant.
Match the armour and accessories. Use the single-core AWA or multicore SWA specification as applicable. Check the proposed bonding and earthing arrangement, core identification, terminations and glands against the supplied construction. The gallery shows a single-core copper AWA example; multicore and aluminium variants require their own confirmed drawing.
Obtain the size-specific data. This overview does not contain a dimensional or current-rating schedule. Use the dedicated product table for approximate diameter and weight, and confirm production dimensions before selecting accessories. Cable sizing should account for circuit loading, voltage drop, fault requirements and the actual installation conditions.
Agree the site and delivery requirements. Provide the route, ambient conditions, total length, drum lengths, sheath colour, required test documents, packing and delivery destination. Confirm outdoor exposure, ducts, trenches or direct burial against the project specification. State any additional fire-performance or approval requirements for separate confirmation.
BS 6724 600/1000V single-core aluminium AWA cable — review the dedicated single-core construction and size table.
BS 6724 600/1000V four-core stranded copper SWA cable — review copper conductor dimensions and the notes for shaped variants.
BS 6724 600/1000V four-core aluminium SWA cable — review aluminium conductor dimensions and the starred solid-shaped entries.
It is intended for fixed 600/1000V power distribution in buildings, infrastructure and industrial installations where armouring and low-smoke, halogen-free sheathing are specified. Select the exact cable construction for the circuit and installation conditions.
The listed family construction uses aluminium wire armour for single-core cables and galvanised steel wire armour for multicore cables. Confirm the chosen cable, circuit arrangement and armour bonding requirements before placing an order.
Both materials are represented in the range. State the required material, conductor size, number of cores, form and class. Compare the dedicated product specifications rather than assuming identical dimensions or ratings for copper and aluminium cables.
Follow the relevant product link to its parameter table. Each table applies to that construction; conductor-form notes and starred variants must be retained when selecting a size. Request confirmation of availability and final supply dimensions.
LSZH describes low-smoke, zero-halogen properties. The flame-retardance, halogen-content and smoke-density references listed here do not establish circuit-integrity performance or a fire survival duration. Request product-specific evidence where continued operation during fire is required.
Confirm the proposed route and exposure conditions for the selected cable. Ducts, trenches, direct burial, water, sunlight and chemical exposure may have different project requirements; agree these before manufacture and installation.
Provide BS 6724, 600/1000V, conductor material, number of cores, cross-sectional area, armour type, total length and drum lengths. Include the installation environment, core identification, sheath requirements, required documents, packing and delivery destination.
