Silicone cable, high temperature resistant acc. to UL/CSA SiHF UL/CSA 3G16mm² black, conductor identification acc. to DIN VDE 0293-308 23281

Silicone cable for extreme conditions

This 3-core silicone cable, with a cross-section of 16mm², is designed to operate in demanding environments where standard cabling fails. It is characterized by exceptional resistance to high and low temperatures, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of industrial and specialized applications. The cable meets UL/CSA standards, guaranteeing safety and reliability.

Construction and properties

The cable is made of multi-strand copper conductors (class 5), providing flexibility and ease of installation. The insulation of the cores and the outer jacket are made of silicone, which ensures temperature resistance in the range of -60°C to +180°C (short-term up to +220°C). The cores are twisted longitudinally, and the protective conductor (yellow-green) is present from 3 cores upwards. Core marking is carried out in accordance with DIN VDE 0293-308 – black or colored cores with white numbering. The cable is halogen-free, which increases safety in the event of a fire and minimizes the emission of toxic substances.

Applications and benefits

This cable finds application in many industries, including:

• Power plants: Due to its high thermal resistance and halogen-free properties.
• Steel, aerospace and shipbuilding industries: In places exposed to extreme temperatures and requiring a flexible connection.
• Ceramics, glass and cement plants: Where high temperatures and an aggressive environment occur.
• Flexible connections: Ideal for applications requiring frequent bending and movement of cables.

Additional advantages:

• Chemical resistance: To oils, greases, alcohols, acids, alkalis and oxidizing agents.
• Radiation resistance: Up to 20x10⁶ cJ/kg (up to 20 Mrad).
• Good dielectric properties: Ensuring safe operation at high voltages (up to 500V).
• Low smoke during fire: Thanks to the absence of halogens in the material composition.
• Compliance with standards: UL Style 4476 and CSA AWM II A/B as well as DIN VDE 0482 part 267/DIN EN 50267-2-1/IEC 60754-1 (equivalent to DIN VDE 0472 part 815).
• Does not spread flames: According to DIN VDE 0482-332-1-2, DIN EN 60332-1-2, IEC 60332-1 (equivalent to DIN VDE 0472 part 804 test method B), CSA FT1.

HELUTHERM SiHF-UL/CSA cable is a guarantee of reliability and safety in the most demanding applications. The outer diameter of the cable is approximately 22.8 mm, which facilitates its routing and installation.
