Description

Single Core Armoured Halogen-free Low Smoke Cable

Product Overview

The Single Core Armoured Halogen-free Low Smoke Cable is designed for use in fixed installations in industrial areas, buildings, and similar applications. The cable features XLPE insulation, LSOH bedding, aluminium wire armour (AWA), and an LSOH outer sheath.

Note: Operation of cables armoured with ferromagnetic materials is permissible only in direct-current circuits.

Standard and Approval: BS6724

Fire Performance:

  • Flame retardant: BS EN 60332-1-2, BS EN 60332-3-24

Features & Benefits

  • Halogen-Free Low Smoke: LSOH bedding and sheath minimise smoke and toxic gas emissions.

  • Flame Retardant: Complies with BS EN 60332-1-2 and BS EN 60332-3-24.

  • Mechanical Protection: Single layer of aluminium wires applied spirally over the bedding (AWA).

  • High Operating Temperature: Maximum conductor operating temperature: +90°C.

  • Low Temperature Performance: Lowest ambient temperature for fixed installation: -40°C; lowest installation temperature: 0°C.

  • High Short-Circuit Withstand: Maximum short-circuit conductor temperature: +250°C.

  • Low Smoke Emission: BS EN 61034-2.

  • Low Corrosive and Acid Gas Emission: BS EN 60754-1, HCL ≤ 0.5%.

  • Voltage Test: 3.5kV.

  • Sheath Colour: Black (other colours available at customer request).

  • Insulation Colour: Brown or Blue.

  • Core Identification: HD 308 S2.

  • Minimum Bending Radius: 6 x D for cables with circular copper conductors (D = overall diameter of the cable).

Typical Applications

  • Fixed installations in industrial areas

  • Buildings and similar applications

  • Direct-current circuits (for ferromagnetic armoured cables)

Construction

  • Conductor: Annealed copper conductor or aluminium conductor, circular compacted stranded Class 2 acc. to BS EN 60228.

  • Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene XLPE type GP8 acc. to BS 7655-1.3.

  • Bedding: LSOH (special low smoke zero halogen compound).

  • Armour: For single-core cables – single layer of aluminium wires applied spirally over the bedding (AWA).

  • Sheath: LSOH compound type LTS1 acc. to BS 7655-6.1.
