BS6622 cables are armoured power cables designed for medium voltage applications, typically from 3.8/6.6 (7.2) kV up to 19/33 (36) kV. They are suitable for fixed installations, such as power networks and industrial installations, including those in power supply stations, indoors, outdoors, underground, and in cable ducts. They come with stranded copper or aluminum conductors.
BS6622 cables are armoured, providing mechanical protection against damage and stress, making them suitable for underground and direct burial applications.
Medium voltage: These cables are designed for medium voltage power distribution (6.6kV to 33kV).
These cables use cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or cross-linked ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation, offering good electrical properties and high temperature resistance (up to 90°C).
BS6622 cables can be installed in various ways including directly buried in the ground or in cable ducts or outdoors where they are exposed to the elements.
These cables are also suitable for Indoor use in buildings, power stations, or switchboards and are often run in cable Trays for industrial applications.
The armouring enhances resistance to mechanical stresses, making them suitable for environments where the cable might be subjected to physical strain.
