What Does BS6622 Cover?
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 across electricity distribution networks, power stations and industrial applications, including indoor, outdoor, underground and cable duct installations.
These cables are available with stranded copper or aluminium conductors, XLPE insulation, metallic screening, wire armour and a durable outer sheath. The selected conductor, armour and sheath construction will depend on the voltage rating, installation environment and power network requirements.
BS6622 Key Features
- Armoured cable: BS6622 cables use steel wire armour or aluminium wire armour to provide mechanical protection against impact, stress and installation damage.
- Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene insulation provides strong electrical performance, thermal stability and conductor operating temperatures of up to 90°C.
- Conductors: BS6622 cable is available with stranded copper or aluminium options to suit different network and installation requirements.
- SWA and AWA variants: Three-core cables commonly use steel wire armour, while single-core AC cables generally use non-magnetic aluminium wire armour.
- Sheath: PVC and MDPE sheath options provide protection against moisture, abrasion and environmental conditions, depending on the selected cable construction.
BS6622 Cable Installation
BS6622 cables can be installed in a variety of fixed power network applications, including directly in the ground, within cable ducts, on cable trays and in protected outdoor installations. They are also suitable for indoor use in buildings, power stations, substations, switchrooms and industrial facilities. The cable sheath protects the internal conductor, insulation and wire screen, while the armouring provides additional resistance to mechanical stress.
