FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables

Fire retardant cable(Fireguard)

600/1000V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Armoured Power Cables to BS 6346 (Single Core)

FGD300 1VVMAV-R (CU/PVC/PVC/AWA/PVC 600/1000V Class 2)

Application

The cables are mainly used in power stations, mass transit underground passenger systems, airports,

petrochemical plants, hotels, hospitals, and high-rise buildings.

Standards

Basic design to to BS 6346

FGD300 1VVMAV-R (CU/PVC/PVC/AWA/PVC 600/1000V Class 2)

Approvals

TUV Certification (Z1 17 01 98200 004)

Fire Performance

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)

BS EN 50265-2-1

Voltage Rating

600/1000V

Cable Construction

Conductor :Annealed copper wire, stranded according to BS 6360 class 2.

Insulation:PVC TI 1 according to BS 7655-3.1.

Bedding:PVC.

Armouring:Aluminium wire

Outer Sheath:PVC TM 1 according to BS 7655-4.1.

Outer Sheath Option:UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti rodent and anti termite

properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL

1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can

also be provided upon request.
