FAQ

Is this steel wire armoured cable?

This single-core product uses aluminium wire armour. The multicore PVC product uses galvanized steel wire armour.

Which sheath grade should I specify?

Choose the ST1 or ST2 requirement with BURY CABLE according to operating temperature and the project specification.

How do flat and trefoil layouts affect selection?

The electrical tables distinguish cable formations and spacing. Use the layout selected by the circuit designer.

Is the PVC sheath LSZH?

For low smoke zero halogen performance, compare the related AWA LSZH cable and confirm the required tests.

What is needed for a quotation?

Send size, lengths, load and fault duty, formation, route conditions, sheath grade, termination requirements and project standards.
