Thermosetting insulated, armoured cables 600/1000V BS 5467

Thermosetting insulated armoured cables based on BS 5467

Cable Made In Britain - Manufactured in the UKTratos Cables are renowned for their exceptional quality and adherence to industry standards. Among these standards, BS 5467 is a key specification that outlines the construction and performance requirements for thermosetting insulated, armoured cables. Tratos single core cables are armoured with aluminium wires (AWA), whereas the three core, four core, and other multicore cables are armoured with galvanised steel wire (SWA). These cables are designed for rated voltages of 600/1,000 V, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
Types of Tratos Cables Under BS 5467

  1. 1. 600/1,000 V Cables:
    1. Tratos Single-Core Cables: These cables feature a single-stranded annealed copper conductor (Class 2), providing robust performance for various electrical installations. The wire armour and oversheath offer enhanced mechanical protection, ensuring durability and reliability.
    2. Tratos Multicore Cables: Available in two-core, three-core, four-core, and five-core configurations, these cables are designed to meet the diverse needs of modern electrical systems. The stranded copper conductors ensure optimal electrical conductivity, while the wire armour and oversheath protect against physical damage.
  2. Tratos 600/1,000 V Multicore Auxiliary Cables:
    1. Multicore auxiliary cables are frequently used to interconnect systems, control circuitry and small power circuits. The wire armour and oversheath provide additional protection.

Tratos Cables conforming to BS 5467 are ideal for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Industrial installations
  • Commercial buildings
  • Power distribution networks
  • Control and auxiliary circuits

Application

These cables are intended for fixed installation in air, in buildings, or for either direct burial in the ground (in free draining soil) or installation within cable ducts that are buried in the groud (in free draining soil). Multicore auxiliary cables are frequently used for interconnection of systems, control circuitry and small power circuits. Refer to Annex A of BS5467 for a guide to the use and installation of BS 5467 cables.
