Fire-resistant power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 10x2.5 RE/4.0 B60621

Fire-resistant power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 – safety and reliability in critical installations

The (N)HXCH FE180/E90 cable is an advanced solution for installations requiring a high level of fire safety. Designed for use in public buildings, industrial facilities and anywhere where maintaining power continuity in the event of a fire is crucial. This cable is characterized not only by its fire resistance but also by the absence of toxic gas emissions during combustion – it is halogen-free.

This multi-core power cable is designed to operate in 0.6/1 kV circuits. Made of copper conductors, it provides efficient and safe power transmission. The cable construction with a concentric conductor further increases its mechanical strength and resistance to damage.

Construction features and application

The (N)HXCH FE180/E90 cable stands out with its advanced construction, which guarantees its reliability in extreme conditions. Fire resistance confirmed by IEC 60331 and the ability to maintain electrical functions during a fire (EN 50200, DIN 4102-12) make it an ideal choice for installations in places with an increased risk of fire. Thanks to the fact that the cable is halogen-free, its combustion does not produce toxic substances, which is crucial for the safety of people in the event of evacuation.

• Wide application: ideal for permanent installations inside buildings, tunnels, cable ducts and in places exposed to high temperatures.
• Safety: ensures power continuity in emergency situations and minimizes the risk of fire spreading.
• Durability: resistant to mechanical damage and external factors thanks to its solid construction and high-quality materials.
• Flexibility: despite its strength, the cable retains adequate flexibility, making it easier to install and route.

Operating parameters and specifications

This cable is designed to operate at temperatures from -30°C to +90°C (for the permissible temperature of the conductors). The minimum bending radius for permanent connections is 15 x cable diameter, which should be taken into account during installation. The permissible temperature of the conductors during a short circuit is as high as 250°C – which proves its high thermal resistance. The voltage test of the cable is 4kV.

The version with 10 cores with a cross-section of 2.5 mm² makes this cable perfect for applications requiring the transmission of more energy or control signals. It is a particularly useful solution for powering devices with higher power consumption or building automation systems.
