About This Item
Full Description
This British Standard is applicable to cables for use in fixed installations in industrial areas, buildings or similar applications, where maintenance of power supply during a fire is required for a defined period of time.
This British Standard specifies requirements for the following types of cables:
- wire armoured and oversheathed cables with two-, three-, four- or five-cores, and with stranded copper conductor;
- multicore auxiliary cables, wire armoured and oversheathed, with stranded copper conductor.
This British Standard is applicable to cables that are designed for a maximum sustained conductor temperature of 90 °C and for a maximum short-circuit conductor temperature of 250 °C (for a maximum of 5 s).
NOTE 1 Limitation on the temperature of the cables might be imposed in situations where they may be touched or where they could touch other materials.
NOTE 2 Annex A gives the guide to use, Annex B gives armour wire tests, Annex C gives compatibility test, Annex D gives abrasion test, Annex E gives insulation resistance constant test on oversheath, Annex F gives resistance of conductor and armour, Annex G gives gross cross-sectional area of armour, Annex H gives a test for shrinkage of oversheath, Annex I gives the fire resistance test for category F2 - additional provisions for cables with a diameter over 20 mm, and Annex J gives notes on type tests.
