This catalogue consists of three types of Low Voltage Cables and they are categorized into three di�erent sections,1) PVC & XLPE Insulated Cables, 2) Low Smoke Zero Halogen Flame Retardant Cables and 3) Low Smoke Zero HalogenFlame Retardant Fire Resistant Cables. In each section, the cables are further categorized by its electrical componentand conductor sizes, which ranges from 0.5mm2 to 1000mm2, armoured and non- armoured and with or withoutcopper-taped screened.

In this catalogue we have given each cable a name accompanied with the various short and long descriptions basedon its material used.

For example:

To better understand the contents of the cable, we have included a 3-dimensional image plus a cross-sectional imageof the cable for easy reference of its structure and components. The technical speci�cations and �gures are providedby our quality team to ensure the accurate use of our products. Technical properties such as Current Rating Factor andVoltage drop, and other essential technical details are provided in the Appendices at the last section of this catalogue.The latest Cable Installation Methods as well as the new harmonized wiring colour codes (as per IEE Wiring Regulations,17th Edition) are also provided in our Appendices for your easy reference.

i V = the smaller dimension or diameter of a masonry duct or void, or the vertical depth of a rectangular duct, �oor or ceiling void or channel. The depth of the channel is more importantthan the width.

i For multicore cable installed as method 55, use current-carrying capacity for Reference Method B.

m It is recommended that these installation methods are used only in areas where access is restricted to authorized persons so that the reduction in current-carrying capacity and the �re hazarddue to the accumulation of debris can be prevented.

n For cables having conductors not greater than 16mm2, the current carrying capacity may be higher.

o Thermal resistivity of masonry is not greater than 2 K.m/W. The term masonry is taken to include brickwork, concrete, plaster and the like (excludes thermally insulating materials).

APPENDIX CRating Factor for Ambient Temperature

The current-carrying capacities in this work standard are based upon the following reference ambient temperatures:i) For non-sheathed and sheathed cables in air, irrespective of the installation method : 30°Cii) For buried cables, either directly in the soil or in ducts in the ground : 15°C

When the ambient temperature in the intended location of the non-sheathed or sheathed cables di�ers from the reference ambient temperature,please refer to the appropriate rating factors as below table (Table C1.1 and C1.2).

Rating factors for ambient air temperatures otherthan 30°C to be applied to the current-carryingcapacities for cables in free air.

Rating factors for ambient ground temperatures otherthan 15°C to be applied to the current-carryingcapacities for cables buried to ground.

Note:1. These factors are applicable to uniform groups of cables, equally loaded.

2. Where horizontal clearances between adjacent cables exceeds twice their overall diameter, no rating factor need be applied.

3. The same factors are applied to: - groups of two or three single-core cables:- multicore cables.

4. If a system consists of both two- and three-core cables, the total number of cables is taken as the number of circuits, and the corresponding factor is applied to the tables for two loadedconductors for the two-core cables, and to the Tables for three loaded conductors for the three-core cables.

5. If a group consists of n single-core cables it may either be considered as n/2 circuits of two loaded conductors or n/3 circuits of three loaded conductors.

6. The rating factors given have been averaged over the range of conductor sizes and types of installation included in Tables B1.1 to B1.8 the overall accuracy of tabulated values is within 5%.

7. For some installations and for other methods not provided for in the above table, it may be appropriate to use factors calculated for speci�c cases, see for example Table C3.1 to C3.2.

8. When cables having di�ering conductor operating temperature are grouped together, the current rating is to be based upon the lowest operating temperature of any cable in the group.

9. If, due to known operating conditions, a cable is expected to carry not more than 30 % of its grouped rating, it may be ignored for the purpose of obtaining the rating factor for the rest of thegroup. For example, a group of N loaded cables would normally required a group rating factor of Cg applied to the tabulated It. However, if M cables in the group carry loads which are notgreater than 0.3 CgIt amperes the other cables can be sized by using the group rating factor corresponding to (N-M) cables.

In March 2004, the Amendment No.2: AMD 14905 to BS7671:2001 (IEE Wiring Regulations Sixteenth Edition) has been harmonized with the CENELECStandard HD 384.5.514: Identi�cation including 514.3: Identi�cation of conductor and with the CENELEC Harmonization Document HD 308 S2: 2001Identi�cation of cores in cables and �exible cords.

The change in cable core colours is a major development that will a�ect the way wiring cable colours are distinguished and installed. Currently,for three phase �xed electrical installations, the wiring cable colours for the ìlineî connections are red, yellow and blue respectively. The new threephase harmonized cable core colours will be brown, black and grey, following that of the new BS 7671:2008 Requirements for electrical installations,IEE Wiring Regulations, 17th Edition. A number of countries in the European Union as well as Hong Kong and Singapore have implemented theseharmonized cable core colours.

For any new electrical installation that involved extension from existing wiring system, BS 7671 has been modi�ed to align with these cable core colourswhere suitable marking/labelling method eg. Colour tapes, sleeves, discs or by alphanumeric (letters and/or numbers) is allowed. See below �gures:-

A GUIDE TO FIRE PERFORMANCE TESTS & STANDARDS FOR CABLESCables and wires are like blood vessels in the body which keep us alive. They supply the essential energy to every part of residential, public,commercial and industrial buildings as well as vital infrastructure facilities, to provide power for lighting, computer systems, electrical appliancesand machinery, etc. Comply with various relevant performance standards to ensure integrity and reliability.

This guide provides you with an idea of the mandated tests and standards to ensure cables and wires meet international �re performancerequirements.

TYPES OF FIRE PERFORMANCE CABLESIt is important for cables to have �re survival properties because they are widely distributed throughout a building and can be the main cause of�re transmission to una�ected areas. There are 2 types of characteristics for Fire Performance: Active - which ensures the cable, continues to transmitpower and signals during a �re, and Passive ñ which limits the spread of �re that can cause severe damage to property and reduces the emissionof fumes and toxic gases that can lead to loss of human lives.

These safety features are necessary to allow occupants of buildings and facilities to have the time to evacuate without being hurt or overcome by�re, toxic gases and fumes.

In Europe and the United States, where most of the �re performance standards originated, there is a slight di�erence in concerns over �re behaviour.The European countries are concerned about all aspects of �re-a�ected cables, including harmful halogen, smoke and gas contents, whereas theconcern over in the United States is the �ame spread and smoke characteristics from cables.

Cables are therefore rated for their various Fire Resistant, Flame Retardant, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and Low Smoke Fume (LSF) characteristics.

FLAME RETARDANT CABLESFlame Retardant cables are designed to minimise the spread of �ame in the event of a �re. Whether it is a single wire or a bundled wire cable, it issupposed to retard �ame spread so that the �re may ideally be limited to a small area and allow for emergency response to put it out. Our PVC-based cables have this characteristic and are widely used for their low cost.

LOW SMOKE AND FUME CABLES (LSF)LSF cables are slow to ignite and they burn slowly. LSF cables emit much smaller amount of smoke and fumes, with characteristics similar to thatof LSZH-FRT cables. Although its emission will still have halogen but the content is much lesser than that from PVC cables. To ensure better �reperformance, LSF cables are manufactured with �ame retardant PVC blended with HCL and smoke absorbent material for maximum e�iciency.Low Smoke Zero Halogen Flame Retardant Cables (LSZH-FRT)

Halogens are harmful non-metal elements such as �uorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). FRT cables are designed withspecial materials not only with self-extinguishing property, but also with low smoke and fume emissions without halogens, as well as an absenceof toxic gas emission in case of combustion. Thus, LSZH-FRT cables outperform PVC and LSF cables with additional protection from �re spread andthe emission of toxic gas and corrosive elements. These cables are suitable for use in inadequately ventilated areas such as those in aircraft, ships,and military facilities.

FIRE RESISTANT CABLESFire Resistant cables are designed with superior �re resistant property to continue to operate in the event of a �re for a speci�c period of time(usually between 30 and 180 minutes). They are speci�ed for used in vital installations and essential support facilities, such as a �re alarm system,as they are designed to withstand �re and maintain circuit integrity. In such cables the stranded annealed copper conductor is sealed with a �re-resisting mica tape wrap, so that even after the insulation has been burnt phase-to phase and phase-to-earth contact can be prevented. They arealso designed to withstand mechanical shock and perform under wet condition.

STANDARDS FOR FLAME RETARDANCY (European & British Standards)There are three classes of tests for �ame propagation in cables. They are the IEC60332-1, IEC60332-2 and IEC60332-3 standards. The EuropeanCommittee for Electromechanical Standardization (CENELEC) - which adopts the standards of the International Electro-technical Committee (IEC)- uses the �rst two to assess �ame propagation characteristics of a single wire, and the IEC60332-3 for similar characterist ics test for bundled cables,which is more stringent.

The British Standards for �ame propagation test for single wire and bundled wires and cables are the BS EN60332-1 (formerly k nown as BS4066-1) and BS EN50266-2 (formerly known as BS4066-3).

FLAME TEST ON SINGLE VERTICAL INSULATED WIRE/CABLE(IEC60332-1, BS EN60332-1)The �ame propagation characteristic of a single wire or cable is tested using a 60cm cable specimen that is �xed vertically in a metal chamber. Acalibrated gas burner adjusted with the recommended �ow rates of gas and air is lighted and applied at 45-degree angle on the surface of the testsample at 475 mm (+/- 5mm) from the lower edge of the upper horizontal clamp. The �ame is applied continuously for a duration (60 - 480 sec)corresponding to the diameter of the wire/cable. After the �ame has been extinguished, the specimen is cleaned and examined. It passes the testif the charring does not reach 50mm from the lower edge of the top clamp, or the charring does not extend beyond 475mm from the point of �ameapplication.

FLAME TEST ON BUNCHED WIRES/CABLES(IEC60332-3, BS EN50266-2)This test comprises four categories (A, B, C & D) according to the volume of combustible material per metre of cable. It determines the bunchedcable’s ability to limit �ame spread.

The test sample consists of several pieces of cable each 3.5 m long, in order to have the required quantity of combustible material per metre ofspecimen. The cables are installed in a metal chamber on the front of a vertical ladder and are subjected to a gas burner �ame for a speci�ed timeunder controlled air �ow. At the end of the speci�ed duration, the burnt and charred portion of the cable must not be more than 2.5 m from theburner point.

80 | www.taisin.com.sg

STANDARDS FOR FIRE RESISTANCEIEC60331-11 (APPARATUS 750°C)IEC60331-21 (CABLES RATED UP TO 0.6/1.0kV)To verify circuit integrity in the event of a �re, the cable sample is held on a �ame at about 750°C for 3 hours under its rated voltage. The samplemust then be re-energised in not less than 12 hours after the test, and to pass, the specimen must not breakdown and circuit integrity must bemaintained.

BS6387This test is performed to investigate the cableís ability to maintain circuit integrity under three conditions - �re only, �re with spray of water, and�re with mechanical shock.

Resistance to �re - the cable while performing at its rated voltage is subjected to gas burner �re at the speci�ed temperature for the respectivecategories - Category A - 3 hours at 650°C, Category B - 3 hours at 750°C and Category C - 3 hours at 950°C.

Resistance to �re and water (Category W) is another cable specimen with rated voltage running is exposed for 15 minutes to �ame at 650° C anda further 15 minutes to �re and a continuous spray of water.

Resistance to �re and mechanical shock in this test a new cable sample with rated voltage running is mounted on a vertical panel which is struckwith a steel bar for 15 minutes while subjected to a �ame. The burning temperatures required for the respective categories are Category X (650°C),Category Y (750°C) and Category Z (950°C).

STANDARDS FOR HALOGEN, SMOKE EMISSION, CORROSIVITY AND TOXICITYSMOKE DENSITY(IEC61034-2, BS EN61034-2)To measure the density of smoke from a burning cable, samples are placed horizontally in a 3 square metre metal cabinet and burned by �amefrom 100 cubic cm of alcohol in a metal tray. A fan is used to ensure uniformity of the smoke and light transmittance is measured by a photometricsystem in the cabinet. The result is expressed as percentage light transmittance and the specimen is rated to have passed the test if the value ismore than 60%, as the higher the percentage the less smoke is emitted.

HALOGEN EMISSION(IEC60754-1, BS EN60754-1)To determine the amount of corrosive gases, such as �uorine, chlorine, bromine, astatine and iodine released by the cable, samples of non-metallicmaterials (1g) are burned in a tubular oven at up to 800°C. Controlled air �ow inside the chamber absorbs the resulting gases in water, which istested for its acidity. If the specimen yields less than 5 mg/g of hydrochloric acid it is rated Halogen Free, but if the yield is between 5 mg/g and15 mg/g it is classed as Low Smoke & Fumes. The results do not determine whether the specimen is totally halogen free.

SMOKE CORROSIVELY(IEC60754-2, BS EN60754-2)This method determines the corrosiveness of the gases released from the cables by burning the insulation material in a furnace at ≤935°C withrated air supply for 30 minutes. The e�uent gases are absorbed into distilled water, which is then measured for its pH and conductivity. A pH-valueof above 4.3 and conductivity of over 10µS / mm must be achieved.

TOXICITY INDEX(ES713)This Naval Engineering Standard method is used to analyse noxious gas emitted from the burning specimen and the amount that each of the gascan cause fatality. Sample of the cable insulating material (~1.0 g) is burned in a chamber with a volume of 0.7-1m³ and the ga ses emitted duringcombustion are detected and collected in order to determine the quantities of the elements, such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphurdioxide, nitric oxide, acids, ammonia, etc. The Toxicity Index is derived from the calculated quantity of each gas produced when 100g (scaled up)of the material is burnt in air in a volume of 1m³ and the particular resulting concentration fatal to human when exposed to it for 30 minutes, thusdetermining the critical toxicity factor. The higher the index, the more toxic the insulating material when burnt in a �re. For example, the toxicityindex of a FRT cable is generally known to be lower than 5.

OTHER RELEVANT STANDARDSLIMITING OXYGEN INDEX (LOI)(BS EN ISO4589-2)LOI is de�ned as the minimum concentration of oxygen required to support �aming combustion in a �owing air mixture of oxygen and nitrogen(in this instance, the downward burning of a vertically-mounted test specimen such as a candle.) The oxygen concentration is recorded as volumepercentage. A higher LOI value (oxygen concentration) means better �ame retardancy. For example, with 21% oxygen index the material will burnby itself automatically at room temperature; LSZH cables require a higher index between 33% and 42%. The test method allows accuracy of + 0.5%to be achieved.

TEMPERATURE INDEX (TI)(BS EN ISO4589-3)Research has shown that compared to the conventional oxygen index, higher temperature at which a material will burn in air is a better determinantof combustibility. When air temperature rises, the Oxygen Index Value falls, thus, the test for Temperature Index (TI) has been developed from theLOI method. The apparatus used for the TI test is essentially similar to that of the LOI test but the incoming combustion gas is heated. It tests the�ammability of the sample with a small �ame to �nd the optimum temperature at which the specimen will burn automatically. When a specimenburns automatically in the air with 21% oxygen, the temperature at this point is known as the TI. In the case of coal, the oxygen index will dropto 21% and it will burn automatically when the air temperature reaches 150°C. This temperature for coal is recorded as its TI.
