BS Code: 6242Y/6243Y

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

FGD200-E 05VV-U/R

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.

Circuit Protective Conductor (CPC):Annealed plain copper (class 1 or 2)

Position of CPC:Centrally placed between cores in same plane (twin); centrally placed between black and grey

cores in same plane(3-core).

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.
