Totally... just realised you are on about supply cables and not concentric used in place of tails

 

[tom79bmth]

Think I will just ask at the wholesalers

If you have a look at cable manufacturers websites and search for concentric cable they will usually identify the appropriate British standard.
However since cables are covered by a variety of standards such as BEN60228 for the design of conductors for cables and BSEN60811 for test methods for insulation there may not be only one standard applicable.
The one I have just found as being the most commonly referred to is BS7870.

Why? They won’t supply concentric. Spilt concentric is readily available, concentric is in the realm of the DNO’s.

 

[Guest55]

i think the cheeky monkey OP is craftily planning on using it as a cheap --- sub mains.

you disgust me.



;-D

 

[Knobhead]

If the OP pays me enough I’ll breach joint it in to the supply for him.

BTW Biff 35mm²Al/Cu is the usual now.
