British Standards (BS) cable design software
Design to the British Standards that UK utilities, contractors and many Gulf tenders specify, from BS 5467 and BS 6724 to BS 6622, with each standard's tables encoded once and reused in every design.
What you can design
- Armoured LV power cables: BS 5467, BS 6724, BS 6346, BS 7889 and fire-resistant BS 7846
- MV cables: BS 6622, BS 7835 and the utility series BS 7870-4
- LV utility distribution: BS 7870-3 CNE, split concentric and waveform cables
- Wiring, cords, shipboard and instrumentation: BS 6004, BS 6231, BS 7211, BS 6500, BS 6883, PAS 5308 and the UK conductors of EN 50182
