KEY FEATURES

  • Class 2 annealed copper conductors, PVC/A insulation, inner covering, galvanized steel wire armour and PVC ST1/ST2 sheath.

  • Construction data for 2-, 3- and 4-core cables and 3 cores plus earth; conductor size ranges vary by configuration.

  • Maximum conductor operating temperature 70°C, with separate limits for bending and short circuit duty.

SELECTION NOTES

  • Confirm the exact core configuration, conductor sizes, earth conductor, route, load, length and installation environment. Use the matching construction row for gland and handling dimensions.

  • Select current rating and voltage drop data for the actual circuit and installation method, with ambient and grouping corrections. Confirm armour bonding and protective conductor requirements.

  • For buried or outdoor routes, agree soil, moisture, mechanical and UV conditions with BURY CABLE. Optional sheath performance and fire tests require an agreed specification.

FAQ

What armour does this product use?

Galvanized steel wire armour around the multicore assembly.

Does the same construction apply to single core cables?

No. Use the separate single core AWA product when aluminium wire armour is required.

Are 3 core plus earth versions listed?

Yes. Their power and earth conductor sizes are shown separately in the construction table.

Can I use every listed size with the same bending radius?

Use the stated limit for circular or shaped conductors and the actual overall diameter of the selected cable.

Does armour replace an earthing design?

No. Confirm the armour bonding, protective conductor sizing, fault duty and termination arrangement for the installation.
