BS 5467 Armoured Power Cables, 600/1000V
Single-core 600/1000 V cables with solid aluminum conductor
Application
These cables are used for power and control circuits, they can offer excellent protection through the use of a heavy galvanized steel wire armour. The GSWA makes them suitable for use inside and outside buildings or for direct burial in the ground.
