This standard covers single core PVC insulated flexible electrical cables of rated voltage 600/1000V for switchgear and control gear wiring.
British Standard BS6231 Type CK specifications require this high temperature cable to operate at a maximum temperature of 90oC in continuous use, however tri rated cable has a maximum operating temperature of 105oC in order to also comply with UL758 and CSA 22.2 No.210.
Tri-rated cable, panel wire manufactured to BS6231 Type CK, should not be confused with other cable manufactured to BS6231 Type BK which has a maximum conductor operating temperature of 70oC.
Canadian Standards Association - CSA 22.2 This standard specifies the requirement for flexible cords, elevator cables, and hoistway cables rated to a maximum of 600V.
UL 758 This standard specifies the requirements for flexible cords, elevator cables, electric vehicle cables, and hoistway cables rated up to 600V.
Our cables are recognised to UL style:
