South African cable

6 Min Read
SANS 1507 standard, published by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), specifies requirements for electrical cables with extruded solid dielectric insulation designed for fixed installation. This comprehensive standard covers cables with voltage ratings from 300/500V to 1.9/3.3kV, encompassing wiring cables, distribution cables, and service cables used throughout South Africa and many other African nations.

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.
