1 AWG 3C Solid/Stranded BC Tape Shielded Glass-Fibre Wrap Polymer NHXCH-FE 0.6/1KV Security Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 1 AWG 3C Solid/Stranded BC Tape Shielded Glass-Fibre Wrap Polymer NHXCH-FE 0.6/1KV Security Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is configured with a 1 American Wire Gauge (AWG) thickness and contains three conductors (3C), making it suitable for more complex electrical circuits that require an additional conductor compared to the 2C variant. It's designed for situations demanding high safety and fire-resistant properties, ensuring operational integrity under extreme conditions.

Also Known As:

• 1 AWG: Indicates the gauge size, reflecting the conductor's diameter and current-handling capability.
• 3C: Denotes three conductors within the cable, facilitating more complex or redundant circuit configurations.
• NHXCH-FE: Suggests that the cable is non-halogenated (NH), has fire-resistant characteristics (XCH), and maintains circuit integrity under fire exposure (FE).

Application:

• Critical Infrastructure: Supports systems that must remain operational in emergencies, such as in hospitals, airports, and commercial buildings.
• Emergency Systems: Used in emergency lighting, fire alarm circuits, and backup power systems requiring consistent operation during fires.
• Control Circuits: Powers control panels and safety devices that need to function uninterruptedly during adverse conditions.
• Communication Lines: Ensures the reliability of communication infrastructure within safety-critical environments.

Standards:

• IEC 60331: Tests for electric cables' circuit integrity under fire conditions.
• EN 50200: Specifies performance requirements for maintaining circuit integrity in fire scenarios.
• BS 6387: Defines criteria for cables maintaining circuit integrity under fire, mechanical shock, and water spray conditions.
