General Notes

1 The above current ratings are taken from Table 4D2 (max conductor operatingtemperature of 70ºC) as required by the 17th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations.However Protec cables are capable of operating at 90ºC in which case the higher currentratings of Table 4E2 can be used providing it has been ascertained that the equipmentconnected to the conductor is suitable for the higher conductor operating temperature.

2 Protective devices used for these cables shall be either Type B to BS EN 60898 orType B RCBO to BS EN 61009-1. The protective devices shall have a maximum letthrough energy (l2t) of 42000A2s when used with 1.0mm2 or 1.5mm2 cable and 60000A2s when used with 2.5mm2 or 4.0mm2 cable.
