FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables

Fire retardant cable(Fireguard)

600/1000V XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Unarmoured Power Cables to IEC 60502 (2-5 Cores &

Multicore)

FGD400 1RV-R (CU/XLPE/PVC 600/1000V Class 2)

VDE Code: N2XY

Application

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

petrochemical plants, hotels, hospitals, and high-rise buildings. This product type is TUV approved.

Standards

Basic design adapted to IEC 60502-1

FGD400 1RV-R (CU/XLPE/PVC 600/1000V Class 2)

Approvals

TUV Certification (Z1 17 01 98200 004)

Fire Performance

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)

IEC 60332-1

Voltage Rating

600/1000V

Cable Construction

Conductor :Annealed copper wire, stranded according to BS EN 60228 class 2.

Insulation:XLPE according to IEC 60502-1.

Inner Covering Option:Extruded PVC or polymeric compound.

Outer Sheath:Extruded PVC Type ST1/ST2 according to IEC 60502-1.

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.
