Class 2 annealed copper, PVC/A insulation and PVC ST1/ST2 sheath, without metallic armour.
Tables cover 2-, 3- and 4-core power cables, 3 cores plus earth and listed multicore configurations up to 61 cores.
Maximum conductor operating temperature 70°C; the stated minimum bending radius is 12 times overall diameter.
Specify core count, power and protective conductor sizes, circuit duty, core identification, route and length. Match the selected construction to an actual table row; size ranges differ between core groups.
Check installation method, loaded cores, grouping, ambient conditions and voltage drop. The power-circuit rating tables do not establish a current rating for every 5-61 core configuration.
Confirm core colours against project requirements, and obtain the final dimensional and weight schedule from BURY CABLE before ordering. Additional sheath properties and flame tests must be specified.
No. Use a protected route or specify an armoured alternative where the installation requires it.
No. Use the relevant construction-table row; the multicore entries and power-cable entries have different ranges.
The schedule includes 3 cores plus an earth conductor. Confirm the required protective conductor size and identification.
Do not assume this. Ask BURY CABLE for a rating based on the actual number of loaded cores and installation conditions.
Provide core configuration, conductor sizes, length, core colours, installation conditions, required tests and delivery details.
