Draka Firetuf Cables – Firetuf FTP Fire Performance Power Cable
The Firetuf FTP Fire Rated Energy Cable is a zero halogen low smoke fire performance cable (OHLS®) with stranded copper conductors and a protective armour layer.
Firetuf FTP fire performance cables offer the advantages of a 600/1000 Volt rated Halogen, Free, Low Smoke (OHLS®) armoured cable with circuit integrity. This type of armoured fire resistant, flame retardant cable is intended for use in installations where vital circuits are required to continue operation in the event of the outbreak of fire.
Firetuf FTP fire performance power cable is particularly suited for use in public buildings and constructions (such as hospitals, theatres, shopping developments, tunnels, mass transit railways, oil & petrochemical plants, power stations and computer installations) where the danger to life, equipment and structures may be greatly increased in the event of a power failure due to fire.
Manufactured to BS 7846, it is tested and approved by LPCB and BASEC. Also available in un-armoured cable design. Details available upon request.
Firetuf FTP fire retardant energy cable: Construction
Conductors:
Plain annealed stranded
copper conductors. For sizes up to and including
35mm2 these are circular. Shaped
conductors start at 50mm2 with
the exception of 2 core cables where shaped
conductors start at 25mm2.
Insulation:
Mica-glass fire-resistant
tapes, covered by an extruded layer of cross-linked
polyethylene.
Binder:
Polyester tape.
Bedding:
An extruded layer
of Zero Halogen, Low Smoke (OHLS®) compound.
Armour:
Single layer of
galvanised steel wires.
Sheath:
Thermoplastic Zero
Halogen, Low Smoke (OHLS®) compound.
Firetuf FTP fire retardant energy cable: Physical
Characteristics
Voltage
rating (Uo/U):
600/1000V.
Operating
temp:
-40°C to +90°C
(The cable should not be flexed when
either the ambient or cable temperature
is below 0°C).
Min. bending
radius:
8 x overall diameter
of cable.
Current rating:
Refer to table 4E4A or 4E4B of BS7671, ERA 69-30 pt V
Note:
In the event of a fire, the increase in
impedance may require consideration to the
installation of larger conductor sizes,
to accommodate motor starting loads and
the performance of protective conductors.
