23、.BRITISH STANDARDBS 5467:2016iv The British Standards Institution 20161 ScopeThis British Standard specifies requirements for the construction andperformance of thermosetting insulated, armoured cables of rated voltagesof 600/1 000 V and 1 900/3 300 V.This British Standard is applicable to cables fo
24、r use in fixed installations inindustrial areas, buildings or similar applications.This British Standard specifies requirements for the following types of cables:a) 600/1 000 V cables, wire armoured and oversheathed, having single-core,two-, three-, four- and five-core stranded copper conductor;b) 6
25、00/1 000 V multicore auxiliary cables, wire armoured and oversheathed,stranded copper conductor; andc) 1 900/3 300 V cables, wire armoured and oversheathed, having single-coreor three-core stranded copper conductor.This British Standard is applicable to cables that are designed for a maximumsustaine
26、d conductor temperature of 90 C and for a maximum short-circuitconductor temperature of 250 C (for a maximum of 5 s).NOTE 1 Limitation on the temperature of the cables may be imposed in situationswhere they might be touched or where they could touch other materials.NOTE 2 Annex A gives a guide to th
27、e use and installation of cables, Annex B givesarmour wire tests, Annex C gives a compatibility test, Annex D gives an abrasionresistance test, Annex E gives an insulation resistance constant test on oversheath,Annex F gives the resistance of conductor and armour, Annex G gives the grosscross-sectio
28、nal area of armour, Annex H gives a test for shrinkage of oversheath oncable, Annex I gives guidance on type tests and Annex J gives the standard UnitedKingdom reference codes.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in thisdocument and are indis
