What's the Flame Proof Cable?

Fire Proof Cable Definition

Fire prevention cable is not a single type of cable, it is the general name of a class of cables. 

Such cables have fire-resistant cables, flame-retardant cables, mineral insulated copper clad fireproof cable and other cables as long as the fire-retardant performance, can be called fire-retardant cable.

 

Fire Proof Cable Structure

Most structures of fire proof cables are conductor, insulation, shielding, internal protection, armor and external protection.

The biggest difference between different fire cables is that the insulation is different from the materials used in the outer protection part. 

If the fire resistant cable is fire resistant insulation material, flame resistant cable is flame retardant insulation material.

 

Type of Fire Proof Cable

The types of fire retardant cables are basically fire resistant cables, flame retardant cables, mineral insulated copper clad fireproof cable these three categories.

Fire-resistant cables are cables that can still continue to work at affordable high temperatures.

Flame retardant cables are cables that can prevent the fire from spreading but cannot continue working when caught or burned.

Mineral insulated noncombustible cables are a complex of the first two with the best performance, both preventing the fire from spreading and continuing working at high temperatures.

 

Various Advantages of Fire Proof Cable

💧The cost of flame proof cables is low, and most fire retardant cables use flame retardant cables.

💧The advantage of the fire-resistant cable is that the continuation of the current transmission work can be guaranteed even when burning at high temperature, and it can play a role in rescuing

important resources, property and life at critical moments.

💧Mineral insulated noncombustible cables not only prevent the fire, but also guarantee the cable    to operate at high temperatures. 

Mineral insulated combustible cables have a maximum fire resistance rating between 950 and 1000 degrees.

 

Fire Proof Cable Use

💧Flame proof cables are widely used in chemical enterprises.

💧Fire-resistant cables can also be used in chemical enterprises, and fire-resistant cables can replace flame proof cables, but they can not replace fire-retardant cables.

💧Mineral insulation non-combustible cables are mainly used in the coal mining industry. 

Can replace flame retardant and fire resistant cables, but because of its high cost, generally not small materials.

Fire Proof Cable Significance

The emergence of fire cables enhances the stability of cable lines under high temperature and strengthens the safety of people's electricity.

 

Summary

If there is a fire, the flame retardant cable can only stop the fire spreading and cannot continue to transmit the current, the fire resistant cables can continue to transmit the current, but can not stop the fire spreading, the mineral insulated non-combustible cables can not only prevent the fire spread but also continue the current transmission work.
