Fire and Smoke Properties of Electric Cables and Wires in Case of Different Geometric Structure and Composition

Fire and Smoke Properties of Electric Cables and Wires in Case of Different Geometric Structure and Composition

TARKA Izabela, PIERGIES Jakub and ŁYSZCZ Marta

Abstract. The purpose of this work was to assess the influence of multi-core cables construction on their fire properties determined when the bunch of cables was burned, and determination of their flammability class. Seven-core cables with a 1.5 mm2 single core cross-section were selected for the tests. These cables consist of two types of insulation materials, four types of filling materials and three types of coating materials.
