This section will also include Standards updates within the Wire and Cable industry, with revisions and replacement of standards, Anixter will keep you informed of these changes and how they may affect your business. As members of BSI, ILI and many other worldwide organisations, Anixter is informed of and is provided with various articles, which may benefit your business. These will be made available to view within this section along with links to other relevant websites.

COMPARISON BETWEEN BS5308 AND EN 50288-7 2008-07-04 This document highlights the differences between the British BS5308 standard and European EN 50288-7 instrumentation cable specifications.
Abbreviations for Standards & Regulatory Bodies 2008-01-03 This document details the abbreviations used in standards and regulatory bodies such as BASEC, BSI, IEC, VDE etc
Armour Resistance for LV XLPE Insulated Cables 2007-12-14 Details the maximum DC armour resistances at 20C for single and multi-core 600/1000V XLPE insulated cables, for both aluminium and steel wire armour.
Values of R1 and R2 for low voltage SWA cables 2007-12-04 The contribution of a cable to the overall earth fault loop impedance (Zs) can be calculated from the impedance of the conductor (R1) and the steel wire armour (R2). This document details these values for LV 600/1000V SWA cables to BS5467 and BS6724.
Grouping Factors for Cables 2007-12-03 This document details grouping factors for single and multi-core armoured cables laid direct in ground and in single-way ducts, and rating factors for thermal resistivity of soil and depth of laying.
Commonly Used Reference Numbers 2007-12-03 This document details commonly used references for Wire and Cable products e.g. 3183TQ, 6384TQ, 3093Y, 3183Y etc.
Resistance of Metric Conductors 2007-12-03 This document specifies the maximum DC resistance at 20C as specified in BS EN 60228 and IEC60228 for stranded Class 2 and flexible Class 5 and 6 conductors.
British Standards for Electrical Cable 2007-11-02 This document lists British standards associated with cables and where they have been superseded by BS EN standards.
Installation Recommendations 2007-10-07 This gives general recommendations for the installation of electrical wire and cables, including maximum spacing of cleats.
System for Cable Designation 2007-07-15 Harmonisation Document HD361 covers the system for designating harmonised codes for cables e.g. H05VV-F, H07V-R, H07RN-F etc Details of these codes and what the symbols represent, can be viewed in this document.
