Fire-resistant power cable (N)HXCH FE180/E90 19x4.0 RE/10 B60655

Fire-resistant power cable – safety and reliability in critical installations

The (N)HXCH FE180/E90 cable is an advanced solution designed for applications where fire resistance and maintenance of power supply are critical. Its construction, based on copper conductors insulated with fire-resistant and halogen-free material, ensures high reliability and safety during fire events. This cable is used in public utility facilities, data centers, hospitals, and industrial installations requiring sustained electrical functionality during emergencies.

Construction and properties

This cable features a multi-core design, facilitating installation and adaptation to diverse system layouts. The use of copper as the conductor material ensures excellent electrical conductivity and minimizes energy losses. Conductors are classified as Class 1 or 2 (in accordance with EN 60228 and IEC 60228 standards), influencing their flexibility and ease of handling. Additionally, the cable complies with stringent fire resistance standards (IEC 60331) and functional integrity during fire (EN 50200, DIN 4102-12). The absence of halogens in the insulation means no toxic gases are released during combustion – a crucial factor for human safety.

Applications and benefits

This power cable is ideal for:

• Installations in public utility buildings: Hospitals, schools, airports – wherever evacuation safety and continuity of critical systems are paramount.
• Data centers: Ensuring uninterrupted power supply to servers and network equipment is essential for modern business operations.
• Industrial facilities: In manufacturing plants, where power failures can lead to costly downtime or endanger personnel.
• Fire protection systems: Powering fire pumps, alarm systems, and emergency lighting requires cables with high fire resistance.
• Applications requiring high mechanical resistance: Thanks to its robust construction, this cable performs reliably under harsh operating conditions.

Key advantages to note:

• Fire resistance: Maintains power supply even during a fire.
• Halogen-free: Eliminates emission of toxic gases during combustion, enhancing human safety.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -30°C to +90°C (continuous operation) and up to +250°C during short-circuit – ensures reliable performance in diverse environmental conditions.
• Maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C: Allows higher load capacity compared to standard solutions.
• Flexibility: Facilitates installation and adaptation to specific system requirements.
• High manufacturing quality: Guarantees long-term, fault-free operation.

This cable is an investment in the safety and reliability of your electrical installation – especially where the consequences of failure could be severe. Remember to properly select conductor cross-sections according to load requirements and strictly follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.
