APPLICATION

BURY CABLE single-core XLPE AWA LSZH cable combines copper conductors, XLPE insulation, aluminium wire armour and a halogen free sheath for fixed 600/1000V distribution. It serves building, industrial and infrastructure projects that specify both mechanical protection and low smoke zero halogen materials.

Choose the cable size and single-core circuit arrangement together. Armour terminations, bonding, supports and the installation environment form part of the project design.

KEY FEATURES

  • 16 Class 2 copper sizes from 4 to 500 mm².

  • Aluminium wire armour with ST8 halogen free outer sheath.

  • 90°C maximum operating temperature; 250°C short circuit for 5 seconds.

  • Minimum bending radius: 6 times the overall diameter.

  • Current-rating and voltage-drop data distinguish flat, trefoil, touching and spaced arrangements.

SELECTION NOTES

  • Use AWA glands and terminations appropriate to the selected dimensions and project bonding design.

  • The electrical tables cite BS 7671:2008 with 90°C conductor and 30°C ambient conditions. Confirm corrections and applicable project requirements.

  • The construction table covers 4–500 mm²; obtain project electrical data for sizes not covered by the electrical table.

  • Confirm the required inner covering, sheath colour and optional environmental properties. The red sheath in the illustration is a colour reference.

FAQ

What type of armour is used?

This single-core construction uses aluminium wire armour. The related multicore LSZH armoured product uses steel wire armour.

Is the sheath always red?

The stated standard sheath colour is black; other colours are available on request. Confirm the colour when ordering.

How should the cable formation be selected?

Choose flat or trefoil formation, spacing and bonding to suit the circuit design and the relevant electrical data.

Does LSZH provide circuit integrity?

Smoke and halogen performance do not establish fire survival. Ask BURY CABLE for a cable with the specified circuit-integrity evidence where required.

What should a quotation include?

Send size, run lengths, current and fault duty, route conditions, armour termination needs, sheath options and project specifications.
