CHIWAS Fire Survival Cables (Low-smoke Halogen-Free-LSHF) are designed for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications where maintaining a power supply during a fire is crucial. These cables are particularly important in locations where smoke and acid gas emissions could threaten personal safety or sensitive equipment, such as high-rise buildings, schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, and subways.
Electrical cables and wires pose a significant fire safety concern in contemporary buildings and installations. When the insulating or jacketing materials in cables ignite, they can become a considerable source of fuel for fires, especially given the large volume of cables found in modern structures, including those for electrical, telephone, and computer connections.
Construction Traits
Conductor: Copper bare or tinned. Circular or sector shaped with Insulation : XLPE /LSZH Inner sheath: FRLS Amour: Wire or Strip Outer Sheath : FRLS / LSZH.
Solid / Stranded Copper conductor lapped with Glass Mica tape, insulated with XLPE to form a core. Cores laid up together to form a power cable / control cable /Instrumentation cable with fire survival properties.
Reasons to Choose Chiwas FRLS Cables
- Mitigates the risk of inhaling toxic gases, thereby reducing potential harm to the human respiratory system.
- Prevents the emission of dense smoke that obstructs visibility of fire exit routes and impedes rescue operations.
- Exhibits a significantly longer ignition time compared to traditional cables, facilitating the evacuation process.
- Its exceptional flame-retardant properties effectively inhibit the spread of fire throughout the area.
Application
- Ensure the integrity of circuits during fire incidents.
- Comply with established standards: IS, IEC, and BS.
- Available copper sizes range from 1.5 SQMM to 250 SQMM.
- Special Features: Designed to withstand flame temperatures of up to 750 degrees Celsius for a duration of three hours without experiencing electrical failure at the rated voltage.
- Non-toxic smoke emissions; does not propagate flames or fumes that could hinder firefighting efforts and compromise safety.
