FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables

Fire retardant cable(Fireguard)

600/1000V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Unarmoured Power Cables to IEC 60502 (Single Core)

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

VDE Code: NYY

Application

IEC 60502-1 600/1000V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed Unarmoured Power 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 to to IEC 60502-1

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

Fire Performance

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)

IEC 60332-1-2

Voltage Rating

600/1000V

Cable Construction

Conductor :Plain annealed copper, stranded according to IEC 60228 class 2.

Insulation:PVC/A according to IEC 60502-1.

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.
