EN 60332-3-24 NHXCH FE180-E30 0.6/1kV Cable - 1.5mm² to 300mm²

Description

The EN 60332-3-24 NHXCH is a low-voltage, low-smoke zero-halogen fire-safety power cable featuring a concentric copper wire screen, engineered to maintain electrical functionality during a fire to protect human life and essential infrastructure. The cable features a class one solid or class two stranded bare annealed copper core insulated with a cross-linked halogen-free polymer, which is protected by a high-performance, flame-resistant glass-mica tape or a specialised ceramic compound layer extruded directly over the conductors. Multi-core variants are bound symmetrically with a flame-retardant, halogen-free filler layer, wrapped in a concentric screen of copper wires in a heavy-duty, thermoplastic polyolefin outer sheath.

Manufactured in strict accordance with international and European safety standards, this cable complies with design specifications set out in the EN 60332-3-24 standard for category C bunched flame-spread resistance. It features an insulation integrity rating of FE180, guaranteeing that the core insulation will remain intact for at least one hundred and eighty minutes of direct fire exposure under standard testing conditions, and can achieve functional system integrity ratings of E30 or E90 when paired with approved technical supporting frameworks.

Installers must maintain standard minimum bending radii, requiring a limit of at least twelve times the overall cable diameter for multi-core configurations and fifteen times the overall diameter for single-core layouts during standard routing and active pulling to prevent internal compression of the conductors.Fire resistant to FE 180 and Circuit Integrity to E 30.
