BS6708

9 Min Read
Whilst low voltage generally refers to cables under 1kV voltage, the 1.9/3.3kV cables are often classified within this banding too. These cables represent the upper boundary of the "extended low voltage" classification and are primarily manufactured in accordance with British Standards BS5467 and BS6724. The 1.9/3.3kV rating indicates cables designed for systems where the phase-to-earth voltage is 1.9kV and phase-to-phase voltage is 3.3kV, with a maximum system voltage (Um) of 3.6kV.

What is BS6708 Cable?

British Standard BS6708 sets out the requirements for flexible trailing cables where used in mining operations and quarries. These cables are often referred to as trailing cables, quarry cables, or auxiliary cables and have applications with a wide range of dynamic mining equipment including excavators, coal-cutters, crushing machines, and shuttle cars. flexible trailing cable, mine cable, EPR mining cable, SWA mining cable, chloroprene cable, coal cutter cable, excavator cable, shuttle car cable, crushing machine cable, coal face cable, Type 7 mining cable, Type 7M cable, Type 7S cable, Type 11 cable, Type 20 cable, Type 21 cable, Type 307 cable, Type 331 cable, Type 621 cable, Type 631 cable, 640/1100V mining cable, 1.9/3.3kV mining cable
