Overview

概述
English

British Standard BS6231 is the primary standard that specifies the performance and construction requirements for single core, non-sheathed electric cables of rated voltage 600/1000V for switchgear and controlgear wiring with PVC insulation.

BS6231 cables, also known as tri-rated cables or panel wire, are heat-resistant and flame-retardant cables designed for use in switch control, relay and instrumentation panels of power switchgear. These cables serve critical purposes including internal connectors in rectifier equipment, motor starters, and controllers.

The tri-rated designation indicates that these cables meet three major international standards simultaneously: BS6231 (British), UL1015 (American), and CSA C22.2 (Canadian), making them versatile for global applications.

繁體中文

英國標準BS6231是規定單芯非護套電纜性能和結構要求的主要標準,該電纜額定電壓為600/1000V,採用PVC絕緣,用於開關設備和控制設備配線。

BS6231電纜,又稱三重認證電纜或面板線,是一種耐熱阻燃電纜,專為電力開關設備的開關控制、繼電器和儀表面板設計。這些電纜用於整流設備、電機啟動器和控制器的內部連接器等關鍵用途。

三重認證表示這些電纜同時符合三大國際標準:BS6231(英國)、UL1015(美國)和CSA C22.2(加拿大),使其適用於全球各種應用場景。
