Class 2 annealed copper, PVC/A insulation, extruded inner covering and aluminium wire armour.
PVC ST1/ST2 outer sheath; construction schedule covers single core sizes 4-1000 mm².
Maximum conductor operating temperature 70°C, with size-dependent short circuit limits in the technical table.
Specify conductor size, circuit formation, cable spacing, installation method, load, length and environmental conditions. Apply the appropriate corrections to current ratings.
Confirm gland material, armour bonding, earthing, termination clearances and bending radius for the selected cable. The armour material is aluminium; do not specify it as steel wire armour.
Request the required UV, oil, hydrocarbon or other sheath option explicitly. Confirm flame-test documentation and the final construction with BURY CABLE.
This single core product uses aluminium wire armour (AWA).
PVC/A, with a maximum conductor operating temperature of 70°C.
The construction table lists 4-1000 mm² Class 2 copper conductors.
No. Confirm soil conditions, mechanical protection, sheath suitability, installation rules and project requirements with BURY CABLE.
Use the confirmed overall diameter, armour wire diameter, aluminium armour construction and the required sealing and bonding arrangement.
