BS 6724
STANDARD: BS 6724
VOLTAGE RATING: 600/1000V
APPLICATION:
Industrial wiring and mains distribution, where smoke and acid gas emission would pose a major hazard in the event of fire. Can be laid direct in the ground, or in ducts, clipped to surface, on trays or in free air. May be embedded in concrete.
CONSTRUCTION:
Single, Two, Three, Four and Five core cables. Stranded plain copper conductors, XLPE insulated, cores laid up, extruded Zero Halogen, Low Smoke inner sheath, galvanised steel wire armoured with left hand lay(Non magnetic Aluminium wires for single cores) and Zero Halogen, Low Smoke outer sheath.
CORE COLOURS:
Single core: Brown or Blue.
Two core: Brown and Blue.
Three core: Brown, Black and Grey.
Four core: Brown, Black, Grey and Blue.
Five core: Brown, Black, Grey, Green/Yellow and Blue and/or white cores with black numbers as alternative to coloured.
Seven – Forty eight core: white core with black numbers.
SHEATH COLOURS: Black with other colours available subject to MMQ.
MINIMUM BENDING RADIUS: 6D circular conductors. 8D shaped conductors.
MAXIMUM CONDUCTOR TEMPERATURE: 90°C.
Note: Where a conductor operates at a temperature exceeding 70°C it shall be ascertained that the equipment connected to the conductor is suitable for the conductor operating temperature (see regulation 512-1-2 of BS7671, the 17th Edition of IEE Wiring Regulations).
CURRENT RATING: Refer to table 4E4A or 4E4B of BS7671.
FIRE PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:
Smoke emission: IEC 61034, BS EN 50268
Acid gas emission: IEC 60754-1, BS EN 50267
Flame propagation: IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, BS EN 50265, BS EN 50266 Categories C & A.
