This British Standard specifies requirements for the construction, dimensions and mechanical and electrical properties of single core unsheathed rubber insulated cables for operation at voltages up to and including 450 V a.c. to earth and 750 V a.c. between conductors, intended for use as internal wiring.
The types of cable included in the standard are as follows:
Table 3 110 ℃ heat resisting rubber insulated cable, single core unsheathed (H07G-U) 450/750 V;
Table 4 110 ℃ heat resisting rubber insulated cable, single core unsheathed (H07G-R) 450/750 V;
Table 5 110 ℃ heat resisting rubber insulated cable, single core unsheathed (H07G-K) 450/750 V;
Table 6 110 ℃ heat resisting rubber insulated cable, single core unsheathed (H05G-U) 300/500 V;
Table 7 110 ℃ heat resisting rubber insulated cable, single core unsheathed (H05G-K) 300/500 V;
Table 8 Braided, 180 ℃ silicone rubber insulated cable, single core unsheathed and
twisted twin (H05SJ-K) 300/500 V;
Table 9 180 ℃ silicone rubber insulated cable, single core unsheathed (H05S-U) 300/500 V;
Table 10 180 ℃ silicone rubber insulated cable, single core unsheathed (H05S-K) 300/500 V.
A guide to the use of the cables specified in this standard is given in annex A. Guidance to manufacturers on procedures for routine testing is given in annex B. Test methods are given in annexes C, D, E and F.
