These includes low duty cable and confirming the construction and performance of thermosetting insulated cable of voltage rating up to and including 450/750 V as per BS 7211. These cables emit limited amount of smoke and corrosive gases than compared to polyvinyl chloride manufactured as per BS 6004 in the event of fire. These are intended to use for electric power and lighting applications.
These cables are available in single and multicore with maximum conductor operating temperature of 90˚C and maximum conductor short circuit temperature 250˚C.
Technical Specification
- Conductor: High conductivity annealed plain stranded copper conductor produced in-house from state- of-the art Contirod line.
- Insulation: In-house developed high insulation resistance cross-linked polyethylene thermoset insulation or halogen free cross linked compound.
- Covering: In case of multicore cable an extruded layer of synthetic polymeric material suitable with cable operating temperature.
- Sheath: In-house developed thermoplastic compound having low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when exposed to fire.
- The construction based on the application and requirement of the user against BS 7211.
