IEC Installation Reference Methods

This document describes 7 installation reference methods (A through G) for IEC cables. Method A covers insulated single core or multicore cables installed in thermally insulated walls or conduits in walls. Method B covers cables in conduits on or near walls. Method C applies to cables on wooden walls or directly mounted. Method D covers cables buried in conduits or directly in the ground. Method E applies to multicore cables in free air more than 0.3 diameters from walls. Method F and G cover arrangements of single core cables in free air.

IEC Installation Reference Methods

Reference
Description
Method

A1 - Insulated single core conductors in conduit in a thermally insulated wall

A2 - Multicore cable in conduit in a thermally insulated wall

This method also applies to single core or multicore cables installed directly in a thermally insulated wall (use methods A1 and A2
respectively), conductors installed in mouldings, architraves and window frames.

B1 - Insulated single core conductors in conduit on a wall

B2 - Multicore cable in conduit on a wall

This method applies when a conduit is installed inside a wall, against a wall or spaced less than 0.3 x D (overall diameter of the cable) from
the wall. Method B also applies for cables installed in trunking / cable duct against a wall or suspended from a wall and cables installed in
building cavities.

C - Single core or multi-core cable on a wooden wall

This method also applies to cables fixed directly to walls or ceilings, suspended from ceilings, installed on unperforated cable trays (run
horizontally or vertically) and installed directly in a masonry wall (with thermal resistivity less than 2 K.m/W).

D1 - Multicore or single core cables installed in conduit buried in the ground

D2 - Multicore or single core cables buried directly in the ground

E - Multicore cable in free-air

This method applies to cables installed on cable ladder, perforated cable tray or cleats provided that the cable is spaced more than 0.3 x D
(overall diameter of the cable) from the wall. Note that cables installed on unperforated cable trays are classified under Method C.

F - Single core cables touching in free-air

This method applies to cables installed on cable ladder, perforated cable tray or cleats provided that the cable is spaced more than 0.3 x D
(overall diameter of the cable) from the wall. Note that cables installed on unperforated cable trays are classified under Method C.

G - Single-core cables laid flat and spaced in free-air

This method applies to cables installed on cable ladder, perforated cable tray or cleats provided that the cable is spaced more than 0.3 x D
(overall diameter of the cable) from the wall and with at least 1 x D spacings between cables. Note that cables installed on unperforated cable
trays are classified under Method C. This method also applies to cables installed in air supported by insulators.
