Tri-Rated Wire Vs Equipment (Hook Up Wire)

Les Spiteri
Hi Guys


I have been designing hardware for electrical panels for many years now and generally have always used "TRI-RATED" wire within the enclosure, occasionally and more prevalent recently is the specification for Low Smoke Zero Halogen but what about Equipment Wire?


Has anybody used this within electrical control panels for 24Vdc control voltages, in what applications is this acceptable? I have seen machine builders use it often so therefore as they are following 60204 then is it also possible to use within Control Panels for machinery?

    Could you be more specific with your question? Controlgear comes under BS EN 61439 too? The use of this cable type in those applications seems to be very common ?
