Halogen-free power cable NHXCH FE180/E90 12x1.5 RE/2.5 B61422

Halogen-free power cable – safety and installation reliability

NHXCH FE180/E90 is an advanced solution for electrical installations where safety and fire protection are paramount. Designed for power transmission under conditions requiring high temperature resistance and exposure to aggressive environments, it performs exceptionally well in both commercial and industrial construction. The cable’s halogen-free construction minimizes the emission of toxic gases during a fire, enhancing user safety and facilitating evacuation.

Construction and properties

This cable features a multi-core design with copper conductors, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity and reliable connections. The current-carrying cores are manufactured in Class 1 or Class 2 (per EN 60228, IEC 60228), providing optimal flexibility and ease of installation. Fire resistance is certified according to IEC 60331, while the ability to maintain electrical functionality during a fire is verified under EN 50200 and DIN 4102-12 standards, further increasing safety levels. Flame propagation is prevented both on individual cables and on cable bundles, a critical feature for ensuring comprehensive fire protection of the entire system.

Applications and benefits

NHXCH FE180/E90 is suitable for:

• Fixed installations: Public utility buildings, industrial facilities, shopping centers – anywhere high fire resistance and minimal toxic gas emission are required.
• Mobile installations: Machinery and equipment subject to bending and movement (within operating temperature range of -5°C to 50°C).
• Alarm and fire protection systems: Ensures reliable operation even under extreme conditions.
• Shipbuilding and mining industries: Due to high resistance to external environmental factors.

This specific model features 12 cores of 1.5 mm² cross-section, making it ideal for powering devices with medium power consumption. The rated operating voltage is 0.6/1 kV with a test voltage of 4 kV. The minimum bending radius for fixed installation is 15 × cable diameter, facilitating installation even in confined spaces. The maximum operating temperature of the conductors is 90°C during normal use and 250°C during short-circuit conditions (maximum 5 seconds).
