Ali Tube Fixed Wiring Cable BS8436

Download Data Sheet

Designed for use in walls, partitions, and building voids where the risk of damage or penetration from nails and screw fixings exists. This protected fixed wiring cable, with an aluminum tube screen, offers mechanical shock protection, making it suitable for ring main power and lighting applications. It serves as an alternative to singles in conduit or armoured cables and can be installed in air, trunking, or closed systems, as well as in thin partitions and building voids when connected to a suitable protective device.

ERA Technology Results Earthing capabilities of the screen under nail penetration test conditions: The results have shown the screen on Guardian can withstand a fault current of over 200A, which is the fault current required to operate a 40A Type B circuit breaker instantaneously. Impact resistance tests: Guardian passed these conditions and eventually reached the level of a 1.0kg weight dropped from a height of 0.8m, at ambient temperatures thus exceeding the requirements of fire performance cables.
