Electrical tables cite BS 7671:2008 at 90°C conductor and 30°C ambient. Confirm ratings for the actual sheath, loaded cores and route conditions.
Five-core and larger multicore circuits require application-specific electrical checks; use BURY CABLE project data for final sizing.
Specify route protection, environmental options, packing and drum lengths. Confirm the selected construction dimensions with the order datasheet.
The original table identifies (S) as sectoral stranded conductors. Use the corresponding dimensions when selecting accessories.
This is the unarmoured construction. Compare the related SWA PVC range where the route requires additional mechanical protection.
Current capacity depends on conductor area, loaded cores, grouping and installation. Request the rating for the exact control or power circuit.
If the project requires halogen free materials, use a suitable LSZH construction and confirm its smoke and halogen requirements.
Send core count, conductor areas, run lengths, circuit duty, installation conditions, ST1/ST2 sheath grade and required colours.
