Industrial Cables-British Standard

6181B/6182B/6183B/6184B/6185B to BS 7211

Application and Description

6181B/6182B/6183B/6184B/6185B to BS 7211 cables are designed for fixed wiring purposes in domestic and industrial power/lighting applications. They can be installed in trunking or conduit, or may be surface mounted when used for earthing. They are suitable for use in areas (such as public and government buildings) where smoke and toxic fumes may cause a threat to life and equipment. When mechanical protection is required, they can be embedded in concrete

Cable Construction

• Bare copper made of strands conductor

  Stranding to IEC 60228 CL-1/2

  Thermosetting insulation, type EI 5 or type GP 8 insulation

  For 2 cores and above, the cores shall be laid up together. Centre filler may be used; the laid up cores

  may be covered by an optional extruded inner covering or separating tape

  LSOH type LTS4 sheath

Core Identification

• 2-core: brown and blue;

  3-core: brown, black and grey;

  4-core: blue, brown, black and grey;

  5-core: greenlyellow, blue, brown, black and grey

Technical Characteristics

• - Working voltage: 450/750v
• - Operating temperature: -15o C to +90o C
• - Insulation resistance: 10 MOxkm
• - Halogen free acc. to EN 50267-2-1 / IEC 60754-1
• - Smoke density acc. to EN 50268-2 / IEC 61034-2
• - Corrosivity of gases acc. to EN 50267-2-2, IEC 60754-2
• - Flame retardancy acc. to EN 50265-2-1, IEC 60332-1
