Fire Resistant Tests

Specification for performance requirements for cables


required to maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions.

Residents, owners and regulatory authorities of buildings are now, more than ever, protected by stringent safety requirements. Electrical installations
particularly fire alarm systems, sprinklers, smoke detection and extraction equipment, emergency lighting and evacuation systems all merge to
prevent harm to people and damage to buildings and equipment.
The wiring behind the systems prove to be an important factor in preventing fires from spreading,and stopping smoke from choking off exit points
and allowing a safe rescue. If the wiring is adversely affected, the systems themselves will have no power to provide their own critical functions.
Stringent tests including IEC 60331, BS 6387 and SS 299 are performed to ensure that such cables are fire-resistant.
Resistance to fire alone (IEC 60331, BS 6387, SS 299)
Category C - Cables are subjected to fire at 950C for 3 hours
Category B - Cables are subjected to fire at 750C for 3 hours
Category A - Cables are subjected to fire at 650C for 3 hours
* In accordance to IEC 60331, cables are subjected to fire at 750C for 3 hours. In not less than twelve hours after the test, the cable shall
again be energized, and there shall not be any breakdown.

Resistance to fire with water (BS 6387, SS 299)


Category W - Cables are subjected to fire at 650C for 15 minutes, then at 650C with water spray for a further 15 minutes.
Resistance to fire with mechanical shock (BS 6387, SS 299)
Category X - Cables are subjected to fire at 650C with mechanical shock for 15 minutes.
Category Y - Cables are subjected to fire at 750C with mechanical shock for 15 minutes.
Category Z - Cables are subjected to fire at 950C with mechanical shock for 15 minutes.
During the test, the flame and test voltage shall be applied continuously for a period of 3 hours and no fuse shall be ruptured nor any
lamp extinguished.

IEC 60332, BS 4066

Flame Propagation Tests

Tests on electric cables under fire conditions.

Part 1 : Tests on a single vertical insulated wire or cable


Part 3 : Tests on bunched wires and cables under fire condition.
Cables form a complex matrix in every building, traversing walls and ceilings to create a web of electrical power. Unfortunately, these cables also
act as conduits for fire and heat, so cables must be fashioned of inflammable and self-extinguishing components. This can be achieved by utilising
a protective material containing aluminium hydroxide. In the event of fire, the material releases water crystals, and at the same time produces
water vapour, which stops the entrance of oxygen and snuffs out the flame.
The IEC 60332-3 specification creates a realistic fire situation, and specifies methods for assessing the flame retardance of bunched cables with
varying densities of combustible material.
This technical report gives details of a test where a number of cables are bunched together to form various test sample installations.
3 test categories to test different amount of combustible material contained in a bundle of cable.
IEC 60332-3-22
(Former IEC 332-3A)

IEC 60332-3-23
(Former IEC 332-3B)

IEC 60332-3-24
(Former IEC 332-3C)

- The number of test pieces required to provide a total volume of 7 litres of non-metallic material shall be bunched on a
ladder exposed to flame for 40 minutes.
- The number of test pieces required to provide a total volume of 3.5 litres of non-metallic material shall be bunched on a
ladder and exposed to flame for 40 minutes.
- The number of test pieces required to provide a total volume of 1.5 litres of non-metallic material shall be bunched on a
ladder and exposed to flame for 20 minutes.

The cable specimens are placed vertically next to each other and then exposed to the flame for a specified duration. After the burning has ceased,
the charred or affected portion should not exceed a height of 2.5 meters.

IEC 60754, BS 6425

Acid Gas Emission Tests

Test on gases evolved during combustion of electric cables.

A fire can produce corrosive halogen gases, generated by burning PVC or chlorine containing material. HCI gas combines with the water in the
eyes, mouth, throat, nose and lungs to form hydrochloric acid, which contributes to loss of co-ordination and orientation. This in turn can lead to
a feeling of panic and inability to exit the building, thus increasing potential fatalities by inhalation of carbon monoxide and oxygen depletion.
Additional dangers exist in a fire situation. Chlorine, bromine or fluorine, found in building materials, can combine with the condensation on
all metallic materials in the proximity of a fire thus resulting in high levels of corrosion which will damage computers and office machines.
Structural ferrous metals can be so corroded that the building has to be demolished.
IEC 60754-2 specifies a method in determining the degree of acidity of gases evolved during the combustion of materials taken from electric cables
by measuring pH and conductivity. This standard requires the weighted pH value of not less than 4.3 when related to 1 litre of water, and the
weighted value of conductivity should not exceed 10S/mm.

IEC 61034, BS 7622

Smoke Emission Tests

Measurement of smoke density of electric cables burning


under defined conditions.

Smoke hinders fire-fighting efforts and prevents safe evacuation from the building. Smoke extraction equipment helps, but low smoke products can
stop the problem before it starts. Conventional insulation and sheathing materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) can produce large volumes of
smoke when burned, thus contributing to disorientation and smoke inhalation damage.
Measuring the density of smoke produced by burning cables is important as it is related to the evacuation of people and accessibility for fire fighting.
The 3 meter cube test (also known as IEC 61034) measures the amount of smoke created by cables in the event of a fire. A one-meter length
of cable is placed in a 3m2 enclosure, and exposed to a beam of light through a clear window. This light travels across the enclosure to a photocell
connected to recording equipment in the window on the other end. A fire is then generated within the container and the minimum light transmission
recorded. A minimum light transmission value greater than 60% is acceptable.

ASTM D 2863

Limiting Oxygen Index

Measuring the minimum oxygen concentration to support


candle-like combustion of plastics.

Oxygen index (limiting oxygen index) is the most widely used fire parameter in the assessment of materials. The index is the minimum concentration
of oxygen in an oxygen/nitrogen mixture in which the material will burn.
Air contains 21% oxygen and it is often stated that material with an oxygen index greater than 28% will be self-extinguishing. Low Smoke Zero
Halogen Flame Retardant material used by Tai Sin is greater than 34%.

Spaced means a clearance between adjacent surfaces of at least one cable diameter (De).

Notes: 1. The factors in the table are applicable to groups of cables all of one size. The value of current derived from application of the appropriate
factors is the maximum current to be carried by any of the cables in the group.
2. If, due to known operating conditions, a cable is expected to carry not more than 30% of its grouped rating, it may be ignored for the
purpose of obtaining the rating factor for the rest of the group.
For example, a group of N loaded cables would normally require a group reduction factor of Cg applied to the tabulated It. However,
if M cables in the group carry loads which are not greater than 0.3 Cg x lt amperes, the other cables can be sized by using the group rating
factor corresponding to (N-M) cables.
3. When cables having differing conductor operating temperatures are grouped together, the current rating shall be based on the lowest
operating temperature of any cable in the group.
4. Where the horizontal clearance between adjacent cables exceeds 2 x De, no correction factor need be applied.

The above rating is calculated using the following formula : I =


Where I = Short Circuit Rating (KA)
S = Conductor Area (sq mm)
t = Duration of Short Circuit (sec)

Technical Table 7.1


Another important factor for the determination of the conductor size
is the maximum allowable current during a short circuit when the
maximum allowable current during a short circuit when the maximum
allowable conductor temperature is higher than during normal
operation.

The maximum permissible short circuit current of XLPE cables up


to 1 KV with copper conductors can be calculated with the formula:

The values of fault current given in the graph are based on the cable being fully loaded at the start of the short circuit (conductor temperature 90C)
and a final conductor temperature of 250C, and it should be ensured that the accessories associated with the cable are also capable of operation
at these values of fault current.
