Applications :
- The armoured fire resistant versions (Part 1 Type 2) are typically used in chemical and process industries where there is danger of fire. The galvanised steel wire armour provides excellent protection.
Construction :
-
Conductor Annealed or tinned copper, Class 2 Insulation Mica glass tape, XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene),, or PE (optional) Pairing Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm Colour code See technical information Binder tape PETP transparent tape Collective screen Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with
tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm²Inner Sheath LSOH(Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath Amour Galvanized steel wire armour Outer sheath LSOH(Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath Flame retardant to IEC60332-3-22 Fire resistant to IEC60331 Halogen free to IEC60754-1 Low smoke emission to IEC61034-1-2 Sheath colour Black or blue -
