Tests on 89 different cables analysed how different cable structures and materials influence behaviour, including sheath materials, bedding, number and configuration of conductors, different conductor metals. Cone calorimeter test data is compared to real-scale fire...
Tests with full scale table trays show halogenated cables spread fire whereas PIN flame retardant cable do not. Four tests looked at spread between electrical cabinets, through the cabinet wall and via floor or ceiling trays of cables close to the cabinets. Poorly...
