FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables

Fire retardant cable(Fireguard)

600/1000V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Armoured Power Cables to IEC 60502 (2-5 Cores & Multicore)

FGD400 1VVMV-R (CU/PVC/PVC/SWA/PVC 600/1000V Class 2)

 

 

Application

600/1000V PVC Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Armoured Power Cables to IEC 60502 (2-5 Cores & Multicore)

are mainly used in power stations, mass transit underground passenger systems, airports, petrochemical plants,

hotels, hospitals, and high-rise buildings.

Cable Construction

Conductor

Annealed copper wire, stranded according to IEC 60228 class 2.

Insulation

PVC/A according to IEC 60502-1.

Inner Covering

Extruded PVC or polymeric compound.

Armouring

Galvanized steel wire

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.
