BS6883 Cable Description
British Standard BS6883 covers the specification for fixed wiring of lighting, power, control, instrumentation, and propulsion circuits in ships with rated voltages up to 8.7/15kV.
The cable’s outer sheath is made of LSZH material, which is crucial for minimizing risks to life and sensitive equipment in the event of a fire on offshore installations.
