71 construction entries with Class 2 copper conductors.
Two-, three- and four-core sizes from 1.5 to 400 mm², plus three-core and earth variants.
Five-core entries from 1.5 to 35 mm².
Steel wire armour and ST8 halogen free sheath layers.
Bending radius: 6 × OD for circular conductors, 8 × OD for shaped conductors.
Confirm glands, armour bonding, earth-conductor arrangement and core colours with the installation design.
Electrical references cite BS 7671:2008 at 90°C conductor, 30°C air and 20°C ground. Apply the appropriate route and grouping corrections.
For 150 mm² three- and four-core cables, contact BURY CABLE for confirmed voltage-drop data before final cable selection.
For five-core orders, request the matching datasheet and electrical ratings from BURY CABLE. Specify sheath colour and optional environmental properties.
The multicore construction uses steel wire armour. Use the separate AWA range for single-core armoured circuits.
Five-core construction rows cover 1.5–35 mm². Request the matching five-core datasheet and installation ratings with your enquiry.
Use the cable within an approved underground design, with suitable route protection, ground conditions, terminations and rating corrections.
For circuits required to remain operational during fire, ask BURY CABLE for the specified circuit-integrity construction and evidence.
Send cores, conductor areas, length per run, load and fault duty, route conditions, sheath options and project standards.
