FIRE SURVIVAL CABLE

These cables offer the advantages of an armoured 600/1000V rated, zero halogen, low smoke cable with circuit integrity. They are intended for use in installations where vital circuits are required to continue operation in the event of the outbreak of fire. It is particularly suited for use in public buildings and constructions (such as hospitals, theatres, shopping developments, tunnels, mass transit railways, oil & petrochemical plants, power stations and computer installations) where the danger to life, equipment and structures may be greatly increased in the event of a power failure due to fire.

Notes :
* Class 2 stranded circular (non compacted) conductor.

Ambient Temperature: 30°C . Ground Ambient Temperature: 20°C . Conductor Operating Temperature: 90°C .

Notes :
1 Where a conductor operates at a temperature exceeding 70°C it must be ascertained that the equipment connected to the conductor is suitable for the conductor operating temperature
(see Regulation 512.1.2) .
2 Where cables in this table are connected to equipment or accessories designed to operate at a temperature not exceeding 70°C, the current ratings given in the equivalent table for 70°C thermoplastic
insulated cables (Table 4D4A ) must be used (see also Regulation 523.1).
3 The above table is in accordance with Table 4E4A of the 17th Edition of IEE Wiring Regulations.
