IEC 60331 Fire Retardant Testing Machine For Electric Cables

IEC 60331, BS 6387 Electric Cables Under Fire Conditions Circuit integrity Testing Machine EN 50200

Description:

- Fire-resistant cable refers to the cable that can keep a safe running time in the case of flame combustion. Fire Resistance Tester is designed according to the requirements of IEC60331-11, and used to obtain the refractory characteristics of a fire resistant cable or optical cable under flame conditions.

- It is applicable to cables of rated voltage not exceeding 600V/ 1000V, including those of rated voltage below 80 V, matallic data and telecom cables and optical fibre cables.

- It is intended for use when testing cables of greater than 20mm overall diameter.
 

Standards:
- IEC 60331 

- BS 6387 

- EN 50200 

Main Features:
1. The burner is a belt type propane blowtorch with a Venturi mixer, and the burner nozzle is length 500mm, width 15mm;
2. Those burning holes are staggered into 3 rows, and the front width is 15mm, holes diameter is 1.32mm and these holes center distance is 2mm;
3.  One end of the specimen holder is equipped with a clamp to fix the sample, and the other end is convenient for heat transfer along the longitudinal specimen;

4. All fixtures are made of stainless steel;
5. The cable sample is supported by two metal rings, and the middle length of the two rings is about 300mm;
6. An inner diameter of the sample supporting metal rings is 150mm, and the cross-sectional diameter of the ring is 10 ± 2mm.
7. The position of the burner torch from burning the bottom is not less than 200mm, and not less than 300mm from the tank wall.

Combustion System:
1. Independent standard electrical control platform;
2. With intelligent detection function, when a short circuit in the sample during the test, automatic alarm and turn off the fire source.
3. Fuse current in the experimental circuit is 2A;
4. The sample is applied to power of AV 100V ~ 1000V adjustable;
5. The time can be set free for the fire, the time recommended by standards is 90min.
