KEY FEATURES

  • 21 Class 2 copper sizes from 1.5 to 1000 mm².

  • XLPE insulation and PVC ST1/ST2 sheath options.

  • Listed operating limits: 80°C with ST1 sheath or 90°C with ST2 sheath.

  • Short-circuit limit: 250°C for 5 seconds.

  • Construction dimensions plus installation-specific electrical reference tables.

SELECTION NOTES

  • Confirm sheath grade, operating temperature and project current-rating data with BURY CABLE before final selection.

  • The electrical tables carry BS 7671:2008 references. Match the final rating to the approved temperature basis, installation method, formation and grouping.

  • Check the bending rule for circular conductors up to or above 25 mm diameter, or the shaped conductor rule.

  • Specify core and sheath colours and any UV, oil, hydrocarbon or pest protection. Request LSZH construction separately if required.

FAQ

Is this cable armoured?

This product has no metallic armour. For an armoured single-core circuit, compare the related AWA PVC construction.

Can all sheath grades operate at 90°C?

The listed ST1 limit is 80°C and ST2 limit is 90°C. Confirm the supplied sheath and complete installation rating.

Is low-smoke PVC the same as LSZH?

PVC is a halogen-containing material. If halogen free performance is required, select a suitable LSZH construction.

Can these tables determine my final cable size?

Final sizing also depends on route conditions, grouping, voltage drop, fault duty and equipment terminations; request matched project data.

What should I include in an enquiry?

Send area, quantity, length per run, operating temperature, route conditions, sheath grade, colours and project specification.
