Fire retardant cable(Fireguard)

600/1000V XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Unarmoured Power Cables to BS 7889 (Single Core)

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

BS Code: 6181X

 



Application:

BS 7889 CU/XLPE/PVC 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 BS 7889:2012

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

Fire Performance:

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)

BS EN 60332-1-2

Voltage Rating:

600/1000V

Cable Construction:

Conductor:Annealed copper conductor, class 5 according to BS EN 60228.

Insulation:XLPE type GP8 according to BS 7655-1.3.

Inner Covering Option:The optional inner covering, where used, shall consist of an extruded layer of synthetic polymeric material. It shall surround the single core and the laid-up two, three, four or five cores, giving the assembly a practically circular shape.

Outer Sheath:PVC Type 9 according to BS 7655-4.2.

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.
