BS 5467 Electric Cables Standard
Standard Overview
BS 5467 specifies requirements for thermosetting insulated electric cables with armouring for fixed installations. It covers low voltage power cables with XLPE insulation, copper or aluminum conductors, and protective metallic armouring for applications requiring mechanical protection.
These cables are commonly used for power distribution, industrial installations, and underground electrical networks, especially in markets following British Standards.
Key Requirements
Conductor: Copper or aluminum conductors according to BS EN 60228
Insulation: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) thermosetting insulation
Armouring: Steel wire armour (SWA) or aluminum wire armour (AWA) for mechanical protection
Sheath: PVC or other protective outer sheath materials
Voltage Rating: Commonly 600/1000V (0.6/1kV)
Applications
Used for industrial power distribution, underground installations, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects requiring armoured cable protection.
