Fire Resistant Cables are meant to perform in the event of a fire or other similar emergency. These cables are installed for critical devices or circuits in order for a control room to be able to shut down a process or component to lessen the potential for further damage.
Enquire NowFire resistance is determined by compliance to the IEC 60331 circuit integrity fire test. Qualified to meet the Hydrocarbon Pool Circuit Integrity Fire Test, utilizing the UL 1709 time-temperature curve, with minimum requirements of 65,000 BTU/h-ft2 heat flux, 2000F flame temperature, 30 minute test duration, and 15A load.
The use of Halogen Free Flame Retardant cable sheathing (HFFR are less flammable. in case of fire, mostly self-extinguishing, have low smoke density and they do not emit poisonous and corrosive gasses during a fire and keep circuit integrity under fire conditions as per industrial standard.
