BS6231 is the primary British Standard that Tri-rated cable is compliant to, alongside UL 1015 (American) and CSA C22.2 (Canadian) standards. Tri-rated cable is a high temperature, flame retardant cable designed for use in:
Switchgear and Control Panels: BS6231 cables are ideal for wiring in switchgear, control panels, and instrumentation panels within power switchgear.
Motor Starters and Controllers: They are suitable for internal connections in motor starters and controllers.
Rectifier Equipment: BS6231 cables can be used as internal connectors in rectifier equipment.
High Temperature Environments: The cable's high temperature rating (up to 105°C according to UL and CSA standards and 90°C for continuous use according to BS6231) makes it suitable for areas with high heat generation.
