Cables used in harsh environments such as mining need to be durable as well as functional. This fire resistant power cable is a common sight on the cable installation project, and is used typically to carry electricity to mining equipment safely with very little risk of being damaged. The thick insulation of these mining cables protects the conductors within from fire and crushing damage.
The fire resistant cable's reference standard: MT818. 11 ~ 13-2009
Working conditions of fire resistant power cable
1) This maximum working temperature of the conductor 90℃ for XLPE insulation and 70℃ for PVC insulation.
In case of a short (lasting less than 5 seconds) the maximum temperature of the cable conductor shall not be above 250° for XCLPE insulation and 160℃ for PVC insulation
Environment temperature should be no lower than 0℃ when installing the cable;
2) Bending radius allowance of the fire resistant power cable
Single core cable: Unarmored cable 20D; Steel tape armored cable 15D
Multi-Core cable: Unarmored cable 15D; Steel tape armored cable 12D.
Notes: D= practical external diameter of cable.
