BASEC CERTIFIED CABLESArmoured Cables BS 5467 and BS 6346DefinitionArmoured Cable is the name given to electrical cable constructed witha layer of aluminum wire armour or steel wire armour. Cables in thesestandards are intended for use in supply of main electricity and can be foundin underground systems, power networks, cable ducting, fixed installationin industrial areas, on exterior surface walls, building and similar applications.Voltage RatingCables manufactured to BS 5467 and BS 6346 are rated for 600/1000 Voltsand 1900/3300 Volts.Construction Conductors are made up of soft annealed copper and can be either stranded circular or shaped. They conform to BS 5467 Table 2 andBS EN 60228. Insulation can either be Cross Linked Poly Ethylene (XLPE) or Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The insulation is applied by the extrusion process and in the case of XLPE, it is cross linked to form a homogeneous layer. It conforms to BS 7655-1.3. Bedding can be both taped and extruded and conforms to BS 5467 Table 4 to Table 18. Armour consists of a single layer of steel wire and conforms to tables 1 and 2 below. The armour wire is tested to BS 5467 and BS 6346 Annex G.1, G.2, G.3 and G.4. Oversheath consists of a single layer of extruded PVC and is usuallyblack in color. Sheathing conforms to BS 7655-4.2.Cable MarkingAll cables will carry the following items on the surface print: Manufacturers Name Electric Cable Voltage Designation British Standard Number Cross Sectional Area No. of Cores Type of Cable DateNOTE: Items 1 to 4 will also be embossed on the Oversheath of the cableCablesDIVISION03
