Fire retardant cable(Fireguard)
300/500V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed Power Cables to BS 6004 (Single Core)
FGD300 05VV-U/R (CU/PVC/PVC 300/500V Class 1/2)
BS Code: 6181Y (CU/PVC/PVC)
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 to BS 6004: 2012
FIRE PERFORMANCE:
| Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test) | EN 60332-1-2 |
|---|
VOLTAGE RATING:
300/500V
CABLE CONSTRUCTION:
Conductor:Annealed copper conductor, class 1 (1.0mm² to 2.5mm²) or class 2 (4mm² to 35mm²) according to BS EN 60228.
Insulation:PVC Type TI 1 according to BS EN 50363-3.
Outer Sheath:PVC Type 6 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.
