Single Core Cables are Aluminium Wire Armoured.

Note: The above ratings are given for 25ºC ambient temperature, depth of laying 0.8m, ground
temperature 15ºC, thermal resistivity of soil 1.2 Km/W and maximum conductor temperature 90ºC.
Single Core cables are laid either in trefoil formation touching or in flat formation spaced by one cable
diameter. Correction factors are given below.
