FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables

Fire retardant cable(Fireguard)

600/1000V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Unarmoured Power Cables (2-5 Cores & Multicore)

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

VDE Code: NYY

Application

The cables are mainly use in fixed installations in industrial areas, buildings and similar applications but not for

burial in the ground, either directly or in ducts.

Standards

Basic design adapted to IEC 60502-1

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

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:PVC/A 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.

Colour Code

Insulation Colour

Two-core: Brown, blue
Three-core: Brown, black, grey. Alternatively, green-and-yellow, blue, brown
Four-core: Blue, brown, black, grey. Alternatively, green-and-yellow, brown, black, grey
