company news about Fire-resistant cables and conditions of use

Fire-resistant cables:

Fire-resistant cable refers to a cable that can maintain safe operation for a certain period of time in the case of flame burning. China's national

standard GB12666.6 (such as IEC331) divides the fire resistance test into two levels, A and B. The flame temperature of Class A is 950 ~ 1000

℃, and the continuous fire time is 90min. min, during the entire test period, the sample should withstand the rated voltage value specified by the

product. Fire-resistant cables are widely used in high-rise buildings, underground railways, underground streets, large power stations, and

important industrial and mining enterprises and other places related to fire safety and fire rescue, such as power supply lines and control lines for emergency facilities such as fire equipment and emergency guide lights.

Use conditions of fire-resistant cables:

1. AC rated voltage: U. / U (V series: 600 / 1000V, K series: 450 / 750V, B series: 450 / 750V).

2. Maximum long-term working temperature of the cable

(1) PVC insulation and sheath: both 70 ℃ and 105 ℃; XLPE insulation: 90 ℃;

(2) Fluorine plastic insulation and sheath: 220 ℃ and 260 ℃; fluoroplastic insulation and 105 ℃ flame-retardant PVC sheath: 90 ℃ and 125 ℃.

(3) Low-halogen and low-smoke flame retardant PVC insulation and sheath: 70 ℃; halogen-free and low-smoke flame retardant polyolefin insulation and sheath: 90 ℃ and 125 ℃.

3. Minimum ambient temperature:

(1) Flame retardant PVC insulation and sheath: fixed laying -40 ℃; non-fixed laying -15 ℃;

(2) Fluoroplastic insulation and sheath: fixed laying -60 ℃; non-fixed laying -20 ℃；

4. The safe laying temperature of the cable should not be lower than 0 ℃.

5. Fire resistance characteristics:

6. The recommended allowable bending radius for laying: unshielded, braided shielded cable should not be less than 6 times the outer diameter of the cable;

Steel tape armored cable should not be less than 12 times the outer diameter of the cable;

Fluorine plastic insulated and sheathed material cables should not be less than 8 times the outer diameter of the cable.
