Halogen-free cable NHXMH-J 500V 3x16 NHXMH-J5-3X16

Halogen-free Installation Cable – Safety and Reliability

Halogen-free NHXMH-J cable is an advanced solution designed for electrical installations where fire safety is the top priority. The cable’s construction minimizes the emission of toxic gases during a fire, making it an ideal choice for public buildings such as hotels, schools, hospitals, as well as industrial facilities and data centers. This cable is also used in tunnel and high-rise building installations.

Construction and Characteristics

The NHXMH-J cable features a robust design. Made with copper conductors of 16 mm² cross-section, insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), it ensures efficient and safe power transmission. The conductors are twisted to enhance flexibility and ease of installation. The outer sheath made of polyolefin provides resistance to mechanical damage and environmental factors. A key feature is the absence of a screen and armor, which contributes to its flexibility and reduced weight. Thanks to its fire reaction class Dca, s1, d0, a1, the cable complies with stringent fire safety standards.

Advantages and Benefits

• Fire Safety: The absence of halogens in the insulation and sheath means minimal emission of toxic gases during a fire – critical in densely populated areas or near sensitive equipment.
• Flexibility: Twisted conductors facilitate cable routing in confined spaces and during complex installations.
• Durability: Manufactured from high-quality materials, ensuring long service life and reliable performance.
• Mechanical Resistance: The polyolefin outer sheath protects against mechanical damage during transport, installation, and operation.
• Application: Ideal for fixed installations in dry and humid indoor environments and outdoors, provided it is protected from UV radiation.
• Compliance: Meets European standards for electrical and fire safety.
• Versatility: Suitable as an installation cable for a wide range of electrical applications.

Technical Specifications

The NHXMH-J 500V 3x16 cable features a rated voltage U of 1000 V and a rated voltage U₀ of 600 V. The maximum allowable conductor temperature is 70°C, ensuring safe operation under typical operating conditions. The minimum bending radius for fixed installations is 202.8 mm – this should be considered when designing the cable route. The approximate outer diameter of the cable is 16.9 mm, facilitating the selection of appropriate mounting accessories. The cable has three color-coded conductors for easy phase identification and does not include an earth conductor.
