BS6622 3 Core Mains Cable 6.35/11kV - CU, XLPE, SWA, PVC - 25mm² to 400mm²

Description

BS6622 cables are armoured power cables designed for medium voltage fixed installations, such as power networks and industrial installations, including those in power supply stations, indoors, outdoors, underground, and in cable ducts. These 3 core cables have copper conductors with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation various screen options, water blocking options, steel wire armour and PVC bedding and outer sheath.

BS6622 cables are suitable for Internal use in buildings, power stations, or switchboards and are often run in cable tray for industrial applications. They can be directly buried in the ground or in cable ducts or outdoors where they are exposed to the elements. Though the red outer sheath may be prone to fading through exposure to UV rays.
