Halogen-free power cable NHXCH FE180/E90 30x2.5 RE/10 B61458

Halogen-free power cable – safety and installation reliability

The NHXCH FE180/E90 power cable is an advanced solution designed for power supply in installations requiring high fire safety standards. The cable’s construction, utilizing halogen-free materials, minimizes the emission of toxic gases during a fire, which is critical for protecting health and life. Suitable for both fixed and mobile installations, it performs reliably across a wide range of applications—from commercial construction and industrial facilities to public infrastructure.

Construction and properties

The NHXCH FE180/E90 cable features a multi-core design with copper conductors. These conductors are manufactured from high-quality materials, ensuring reliability and long-term operational stability. Additionally, the cable exhibits fire-resistant properties (IEC 60331) and maintains electrical functionality during a fire (EN 50200, DIN 4102-12), making it an ideal choice for facilities with elevated safety requirements. Its flame-retardant performance applies not only to individual cables but also to cable bundles, further enhancing overall protection.

Applications and benefits

This cable is primarily used in locations requiring high fire resistance and minimal emission of toxic gases during combustion. It is ideally suited for:

• Public utility buildings (schools, hospitals, office buildings)
• Industrial facilities with elevated fire risk
• Tunnels and transportation infrastructure
• Electrical installations in areas with high human density
• Applications where halogen-free cables are mandated by H&S regulations or installation specifications

By choosing the NHXCH FE180/E90 cable, you invest in:

• Safety: Reduced emission of toxic gases during fire protects the health and lives of building occupants.
• Reliability: High-quality materials and robust construction ensure long-term, failure-free operation.
• Compliance: Meeting stringent fire safety standards guarantees legal compliance and installation safety.
• Versatility: Applicability in both fixed and mobile installations expands its functional range.
• Asset protection: Maintaining electrical functionality during fire can help minimize material losses.

This cable is available in multiple conductor cross-sections—including the 30x2.5 mm² model, which offers high flexibility in designing electrical installations with varying load requirements. Remember to maintain a minimum bending radius of 15 x cable diameter for fixed installations to ensure proper system performance. Operating temperature ranges from -5°C to 90°C for fixed installations and -5°C to 50°C for mobile installations. Maximum conductor temperature during normal operation is 90°C; during short-circuit (up to 5 seconds), it can reach 250°C.
