BS 7671 has been updated. 📋 But what does it mean for your installations?

Amendment 4 is now published, and it brings important updates for anyone working with armoured cables underground.

One of the key changes is a clearer distinction between direct-buried and ducted installations, which directly affects current-capacity calculations.

Our cable calculator tool CableApp has been updated to fully align with the latest regulations, so you can size your cables with confidence.

Since the late 19th century, copper has been a popular choice to make electrical wires. But why?

The main reason is because copper is a great conductor of electricity. Other benefits of copper include:

✅ High thermal conductivity
✅ Pliability
✅ High tensile strength

These unique properties continue to make copper a great choice for cables.

With summer just around the corner, you may have some outdoor lighting projects on the cards.

UV radiation, moisture, and temperature are some of the biggest environmental challenges, so ensure you use the right cables for safe and efficient installations.

Steel wire armoured (SWA) cables are ideal for use in outdoor lighting installations, particularly if the lights are away from the distribution board or are on an outbuilding. These cables are engineered to ensure exceptional performance and longevity in demanding environments.
