Armoured Cable - Diameter to CSA Lookup Table Required

Armoured Cable - Diameter to CSA Lookup Table Required

Armoured Cable - Diameter to CSA Lookup Table Required

(OP)
Does anyone know of where I can find info on BICC, aluminium conductor wire
armoured cable of the type used in the UK for electrical fixed wiring
installations in the late 1970's, early 80's ?


(When aluminium was used in place of copper, I believe due to the high costs
of copper at the time )

 I need to be able to work out the CSA of a multicore armoured cable simply by
measuring it's overall external diameter.

I don't have access to the seperate cores as I can't power down the system.

I have a 'lookup' table for copper conductor armoured cable, &  need a
similar table for aluminium.

I did discuss the issue with a UK cable supplier - they wouldn't give me any
info in case they got it wrong !.
