Fire Fighting Cables

Flame Retardant Cables
In Fire condition; traditional cables act as a network to propagate the
flame along their length to distances far from the fire area.
Using special flame retardant grades of the non-metallic components
of the cable will significantly increase the cable ability to prevent flame
spread “this is called flame retardant”
The key definitions of the flame retardant cables are:
Cables which doesn’t spread fire
Cables which are self-extinguishing

Testing flame retardant cables is done in accordance with BS EN 60332 or

IEC 60332 (the most widely applied tests) which specifies different parts for
the test depending on the number of cables or wires, single or bunched
as the following:
BS EN / IEC 60332-1 &2: it’s a test on a single insulated vertical wire or
electric and fiber optic cable. A 60 cm long cable sample is fixed
vertically inside a metallic box and the lower end is exposed to a gas
burner angled at 45° to the horizontal. After burning cease, the charred
or affected position does not reach within 50mm of the lower edge of
the top clamp which is equivalent to 425mm above the point of flame
application.
The test method is not suitable for the testing of some small wires due to
the melting of the conductors during the time of application of the flame.
BS EN /IEC 60332-3: it’s a test for bunched wires and cables and basically
categorized in three grades A, B & C, the three grades have the same
test procedures and the same test purpose, the cable is considered as
flame retardant if the flame did not propagate along the cable for more
than 2.5 m after the flame is ceased but it all depends on the number of
samples as above:
BS EN / IEC 60332-3-22 (CAT A): it’s the most severe test and the number
of test samples requires providing a total volume of 7 liters of non-metallic
material which shall be bunched on a ladder exposed to flame for 40
minutes.
BS EN / IEC 60332-3-23 (CAT B): The number of test samples requires
providing a total volume of 3.5 liters of non-metallic material which shall
be bunched on a ladder and exposed to flame for 40 minutes.
BS EN / IEC 60332-3-24 (CAT C): The number of test samples requires
providing a total volume of 1.5 liters of non-metallic material which shall
be bunched on a ladder and exposed to flame for 20 minutes

 Fire Resistant & Fire Alarm

Fire Resistant Cables

Fire resistant cables: are used when the cables are required to keep
circuit integrity and continue to operate in the presence of a fire for a
specified time under defined conditions, these cables are called fire
resistant cables.
The cables are tested based on the following standards:
IEC 60331 Fire Resistance Test
A sample is connected to an electrical supply at its rated voltage. Fire is
applied for a period of 1.5 hours. The temperature on the cable is
750°C, The test shall continue for the flame application time , after
which the flame shall be extinguished but the cable sample shall remain
energized for a further 15 min.
the cable must maintain its circuit integrity.

BS6387 Fire Resistance Test

The test method given in this British Standard consists of three component
Protocols, designated C, W and Z.
When separate test pieces from the same sample of cable are tested to each of
these three protocols, these together comprise the full test. When the
requirements of each one of the protocols are met, the cable may be designated
as “category CWZ”.
It details the following methods to categorize the cables according to cable withstand capacities.

Resistance to fire alone:

Protocol C: subjects the cable under test to a flame via direct impingement
corresponding to a temperature attack of 950 °C ±40 °C for 3 hours.

Resistance to fire with water:

Category W: Cables are subjected to fire at 650°C±40 °C for 15 minutes, then at 650°C with water spray for a
further 15 minutes.

Resistance to fire with mechanical shock:

Protocol Z: subjects the cable under test to a flame via direct impingement
corresponding to a temperature attack of 950 °C ±40 °C for 15 min. with indirect
application of mechanical shock.
*Product standards might refer to only one of the protocols C or W or Z,but, in such cases, may not use the
designation“Category CWZ”.

 Fire Resistant & Fire Alarm

Fire alarm cables

In addition to the fire resistant cables in the fire and emergency systems, another type of cables is required
which transmit signals to the notification (Indicating) device Circuits such as alarm sounders, horns, strobes
and other remote signaling equipment.
Fire alarm cables work under high temperature each to 105°C to do it is function in energizing or send the
signals to specific device and it is observed that the fire resistant cables work under extreme conditions, the
main difference between fire alarm and fire resistance cables is that fire alarm cables doesn’t require to
maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions; it only turns on the alarm systems at the beginning of the fire.
Fire alarm cable is specified in the article 760 of the American national electric code “NEC” and Elsewedy
electric is a UL certified as recognized manufacturer.

Low Smoke and Halogen free Cables

In all fire disasters, smoke, halogen and toxic fumes of traditional PVC
sheathed cables are the main obstacles to safe evacuation of a building
or an area. In addition to the fire resistance and flame retardant tests there
are some tests to ensure maximum safe evacuation of people with no
harmful effects.
Smoke Emission Tests: (IEC 61034, BS EN 61034)
This test is for determination of smoke density. A 1m length of cable is placed
in a 3m3 enclosures (It is called 3 meter cube test) and exposed to a beam
of light through a clear window. This light travels across the enclosure to a
photocell connected to recording equipment in the window on the other
end. A minimum light transmission value greater than 60% is acceptable
after a fire is generated. The higher the light transmittance, the less smoke
emitted during a fire.
Acid Gas Emission Tests: (IEC 60754, BS EN 50267)
A corrosive halogen gases can be generated by burning PVC or chlorine containing material. HCL gas
combines with the water in the eyes, mouth, throat, nose and lungs to form hydrochloric acid that has
harmful effects and increasing potential fatalities by inhalation of carbon monoxide and oxygen depletion,
additional dangers exist on all metallic materials and devices in the proximity of a fire.
IEC 60754-1, BE EN 50267 specifies a method in determining the amount of halogen acid gas other than
the hydrofluoric acid evolved during combustion of compound based on halogenated polymers and
compounds containing halogenated additives taken from cable constructions. Halogen includes Fluorine,
Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. If the hydrochloric acid yield is less than 5 mg/g, the cable specimen
is categorized as LSZH.
IEC 60754-2 specifies a method in determining the degree of acidity of gases evolved during the
combustion of materials taken from electric cables by measuring pH and conductivity. This standard
requires the weighted pH value of not less than 4.3 when related to 1 liter of water, and the weighted value
of conductivity should not exceed 10µS/mm.

Laying conditions at trefoil formation:

- Soil thermal resistivity 120 ˚C.Cm/Watt
- Burial depth 0.5 m
- Ground temperature 35 °C
- Air temperature 40 °C
- Frequency 50 Hz
- Cables must be protected from direct solar radiationand other thermal sources in the neighborhood.
DC resistance of conductor:
DC resistance per unit length of the conductor at another conductor temperature t is given by:
R=Ro [1+ α 20 ( t-20˚C )]

Where:
R = DC resistance at temperature to ˚C Ω/Km
Ro = DC resistance at temperature 20˚C Ω/Km
t = conductor temperature ˚C
a20 = temperature coefficient at 20˚C 1/˚C

AC Resistance of Conductor:
To calculate the AC resistance of the conductor at its operating temperature the following formula is
used:

Rac = R ( 1 + Kp + Ks )

Where:
KP and KS are proximity effect and skin effect factors

Inductance:
Self & mutual inductance is defined as follows
L = K + 0.2 Ln | 25 |
d

Where:
L = Inductance in mH / Km
K = A constant depending on the number of wires in the conductor
d = Conductor diameter in mm
n = Axial spacing between cables in trefoil formation in mm
= 1.26 x axial spacing between cables in flat formation in mm

Fire Resistant cables:

A cable can be described as fire resistant when it complies with the severe test in IEC 60331 in which the middle
portion of a sample of cable 1200 mm long is supported by two metal rings 300 mm apart and exposed to the
flame from a tube type gas burner at 750 ˚C. Simultaneously the rated voltage of the cable is applied contin-
uously throughout the test period. Furthermore, not less than 12 hours after the flame has been extinguished,
the cable is reenergized. No electrical failure must occur under these conditions.

Halogen Free Material:

What are Halogens?
Halogens are salts of the elements Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine and lodine.
Fluorine and chlorine are important in cable design. For example; Flourine, Chlorine and Bromine are
common components of flame protection additives.

When is a cable Halogen free?

The burning behavior of cables is very important for the safety of buildings and also in control plants.
Consequently the following points are important:
• Behavior under flame influence ie. the inflammability as the propagation of fire.
• Development of smoke density (darkening of emergency exits, hindrance of the fire fighters).
Cables produced of non halogen free materials such as those with chlorine in the molecule chain :
polyvinylchloride (PVC), chloroprene rubber (CR), chlorinated polyethylene (CM), have a better behavior in
case of fire.
These are barely combustible or not flammable and self extinguishing, in case of fire molecules of Chlorine (or
Fluorine) are released which hinder the access of oxygen at the fire location and hence suffocate the flame.
The disadvantage of these materials is that the released Chlorine (or Flourine) atoms combine with hydrogen
which is decomposed from the plastic material as well as hydro choleric acid or hydroflouoric acid from the
existing air. These compounds are extremely corrosive and toxic in consequence, damage by corrosion may
be higher than the damage caused by fire.
Halogen free cables contain no halogens, ie. the insulation and sheath materials of these cables are composed
of polymers of pure hydrocarbons. Burning these materials, produce no corrosive compounds or toxic gases,
only water vapor and carbon dioxide gas. For maximum security halogen free cable must be hardly flammable
and self extinguishing . This is achieved by using special polymer compounds, containing high percentages of
flame protective materials.

Application:
Halogen free cable are increasingly specified for public buildings and areas where large numbers of people
may be present.

LAN Cables:
The necessity to communicate through digital information, to share data, to reach calculation resources and
to share costly devices has encourages the development of local area networks. A local area network (LAN) is
a computer network linking users in a small area. Generally, a local area network connects users located either
in the same office, or at the same floor, or in the same building. The success of local area networks is due to
their ability to satisfy communication needs at a reasonable price. Compatibility is a critical element. Local area
networks require high speed channels for data transmission, permitting the transfer of large blocks of data, images,
and video signals. The technology used in local networks can reach a transmission rate which is higher than 100
Mbps, ie. higher than that of traditional direct connections. Moreover, the traditionally low transfer capacity of
public telecommunications is increasing therefore the distinction between direct connection, local area networks
and wide area networks is going to loose significance, at least as far as transmission capacity is concerned.
The transmission media is the cable. Common media are phone pairs, coaxial cables and purpose designed
LAN cables which are essentially extremely high performance telephone pairs, sometimes provided with shield-
ing. This kind of shielded cable is more immune to electrical interference and permits high speed transmission over
longer distances. Pairs are still the most versatile media for transmission and are often the best choice for new
network installations.
