FumeGuard™ |
FumeGuard™ cables are manufactured using a Thermosetting insulating material, which exhibits improved resistance to external attack by chemicals; improved mechanical strength and abrasion resistance compared to equivalent cables manufactured using Thermoplastic insulating materials.
Specifers can rely on the FumeGuard™ name; it complies fully with the British Standards. Not all cables are ‘fire safety’ compliant to these standards despite being promoted like this.
FumeGuard™ cables are fire safety tested to:
| Smoke Emission: | BS EN 61034, IEC 61034-2 |
| Flame Retardent: | BS EN 60332-I-2 |
| Acid Gas Emission: | BS EN 50267-2-1, IEC 60754-1 |
| Degree of Acidity Emissions: | BS EN 50267-2-3, IEC 60754-2. |
FumeGuard™ cables are rated to a maximum sustained conductor operating temperature of 90°C. This giving FumeGuard™ cables a better current rating capacity, Table 4E2A of BS7671 Wiring Regulations, and hence provides the opportunity for using a reduced conductor size when compared to 70°C rated low smoke zero halogen or low smoke fume cable equivalents.
General-purpose power and lighting cables often used within protective conduit or trunking installations. Can also be used within light fittings, appliance wiring and control gear.
Flexible single core wires used typically in control panels.
Used as supply leads for domestic and office appliances and within light fittings. This cable is manufactured to HDZ1.14S1 and generally to BS650 table 27.
