11KV CABLE

British Standard cables BS6622 and BS7835 are manufactured in voltages including 6.35/11kV for power distribution networks. Their aluminium wire armour (AWA) for single core

cables and steel wire armour (SWA) for multicore cables provide robust mechanical protection making these 11kV cables suitable for direct burial in the ground. These  armoured MV

mains power cables are more commonly supplied with copper conductors but they are also available with aluminium conductors upon request to the same standard. The copper conductors

are stranded (Class 2) whereas the aluminium conductors are compliant to the standard using both stranded and solid (Class 1) constructions.
