Halogen-free power cable NHXCH FE180/E90 2x2.5 RE/2.5 B61439

Low-smoke halogen-free power cable – safety and reliability

The NHXCH FE180/E90 power cable is an advanced solution designed for electrical installations where safety and fire protection are paramount. The cable's construction, utilizing halogen-free materials, minimizes the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire, which is particularly important in public buildings, industrial facilities, and places with increased fire protection requirements.

This cable is characterized by high resistance to external factors and ensures reliable power transmission. It is an ideal choice for both professional installers and end customers looking for a safe and durable solution.

Construction and properties

The NHXCH FE180/E90 cable has been designed for demanding applications. It features copper conductors of class 1 or 2 (according to EN 60228 and IEC 60228 standards), guaranteeing good electrical conductivity. It is made of halogen-free materials, meaning it contains no chlorine or fluorine. This translates to lower toxicity of fumes released during combustion – important for human health and environmental protection.

• Fire resistance: Meets the requirements of IEC 60331, confirming its ability to maintain electrical functions during a fire.
• Flame retardant: Both on a single cable and in a cable harness – provides additional safety in the event of a fire.
• Maintenance of electrical functions: Compliance with EN 50200 and DIN 4102-12 standards guarantees continuous power supply in critical situations.
• Wide operating temperature range: Fixed installation possible at temperatures from -30°C to +90°C, and mobile installations from -5°C to +50°C. Maximum conductor temperature during operation is +90°C, and during a short circuit (up to 5 seconds) – as high as +250°C.
• Flexibility: Allows easy installation even in difficult conditions. Minimum bending radius is 15 x cable diameter.

Application

The NHXCH FE180/E90 cable finds wide application in:

• Electrical installations in public buildings (schools, hospitals, offices).
• Industrial facilities with increased fire safety requirements.
• Tunnels, mines and other places exposed to external factors.
• Alarm and fire protection systems.
• Where high fire resistance and minimal emission of toxic gases during combustion are required.

The available version of the cable with two conductors with a cross-section of 2.5 mm² (B61439) will be suitable for many typical home applications as well as professional electrical installations.
