BICC or BS7671 comply for design

Anthony Sullivan over 5 years ago

Hello IET guys

I have a problem where a cable installed on site doesn't comply to Bs7671 current carrying capacity for underground cable reference method D

the engineer who design the cable used amtech and data from bicc with reference method 110.

Dose bicc comply? As its old data for cables install in any country from what I can see. I would have thought bs7671 design must be used?

Thank you oms

The reason I was doubting it so much was because the engineer response to my question was “amtech selected the cable”

OK - I'd like to think that the injuneer selected the cable and then used Amtech to verify it - but such is life

If you have any queries on cable selection/sizing etc, stick them on here - there is usually a cast of thousands willing to help
