Low Voltage Cable 450/750V and 300/500V Low Voltage Cable -Mainly is the non-armoured polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or Low Smoke Non-Halogen (LSNH) insulated cables in Hong Kong -The cable mainly divides into two types: building wires and flexible cables -Building wires use for electric power, PVC insulated 450/750V Cable lightning, internal wiring -Flexible cables use for electrical appliances and equipment in domestic, especially using in multisocket 8
Building Wires in the past -The cable previously was under old & obsolete imperial system cable, BS2004:1961 -If the cable refers BS standard, the specification shall be BS 6004:2000 -Hong Kong Market, so called imperial size cables, which the nominal conductor area was much smaller than those specified in BS2004:1961 were sold in the market place -The imperial size cables may not fulfill the Electrical Products (Safety) Regulation that was gazetted on 2 May 1997 9
