GUIDE TO THE USE OF PVC- INSULATED CABLES

CABLE TYPE AND USE

Single core, non-sheathed generalpurpose.

Installation in surface mounted orembedded conduits or similar closed

systems.

Single core, non-sheathed, for internal wiring.

Fixed protected installation. Insideappliances and in or on lighting ttings.

Light PVC- sheathed.

Fixed installation in dry or damp premises.

Single core, at twin and at -core,PVC-sheathed, with and without

protective conductor.

Fixed installation in dry or damp premises.

The cables are suitable for use where the combination ambient temperature and temperature rise

due to load results in a conductor temperature not exceeding 70°C and case of a short-circuit

(maximum allowance time is 5 seconds) the maximum conductor temperature does not exceed

0°C, up to and including 00 s . mm. and 0°C for si es above 00 s . mm.

COMMENTS

Suitable for use in channels with cover.Suitable for xed protected installation in or lighting ttings and inside appliances, up to 1000V ac or up to 750 V to earth,

dc.

Suitable for installation in surface mountedor embedded conduits, only for signalling

or control circuits.

Unsuitable for outdoor use or embedding in concrete.

Suitable for installation in walls, on boards and in channels, or embedded in

plaster.

* ‘Space’ means a clearance between adjacent surfaces of at least one cable diameter (D) where the horizontal clearances between adjacent cables exceeds 2D, no correction factor need to be applied.

Notes: 1. The factors in the table are applicable to groups of cables all of one sizes. The value of current derived from application of the appropriate factors is the maximum continuous current to be carried by any of the cables in the group.

2. If, due to known operating conditions, a cable is expected to carry not more than 0% of its grouped rating, it may be ignored for the purpose of obtaining the rating factor for the rest of the group.
