0.6/1kv BS5467 XLPE Insulated Armored Cable
product detail
Application of BS 5467 Cable
BS 5467 cables are utilized for the conveyance of electrical power and the regulation of control circuits. The incorporation of a robust galvanized steel wire armor (GSWA) within the BS 5467 cable structure confers a high degree of protection against external damage. This makes the cable suitable for installation within and around buildings, as well as for direct burial in soil.
What cable is BS5467?
BS5467 is the British Standard Specification for low-voltage armored cables. These cables are commonly utilized in power networks, underground systems, and cable ducts. They are designed to withstand mechanical stress and provide protection against moisture and other environmental factors. The BS5467 standard specifies the construction, dimensions, and electrical properties of cables, ensuring their suitability for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.

How to use BS 5467 armored cable correctly
To use BS 5467 armored cable safely and effectively, consider these key points:
Choose the right cable. Make sure the BS 5467 armored cable is right for the job. Think about things like voltage, current, and the environment.
Installation guidance: Follow the manufacturer's instructions and the BS 5467 standard. This includes how to route the cable, how to bend it, and how to fix it in place to prevent damage.
Termination and connections: Use approved ways to connect cables. Prepare cable ends, use termination kits, and follow connection procedures to maintain your cable system.
Mechanical Protection: Use cable trays, conduits, or other protection to keep cables safe from damage and stress.
Environmental considerations: Check the environment where the cable is installed to make sure it is protected from moisture, chemicals, and other external factors.
Compliance: Make sure that BS 5467 armored cables are installed and used correctly to maintain safety and reliability.
Test and inspect cables to verify proper installation. Test for insulation resistance, continuity, and look for damage or stress.
Follow these guidelines and best practices to use BS 5467 armored cable correctly. This ensures reliable, safe operation in power distribution and industrial applications.
