Product Information

Specification

About:

• Purpose: This cable is specifically designed for military applications, particularly for power distribution in naval vessels.
• Voltage Rating: It is rated for low-frequency, high-voltage applications up to 440 volts.

Also Known As:

• Sometimes referred to as "Military Grade Power Cable" or "Naval Shipboard Power Cable."
• May also be known by specific product codes or model numbers in military procurement catalogs.

Application:

• Fire resistant cable for power, control, lighting use, etc., in military vessels where the cable is required to retain circuit integrity in the event of a fire, for emergency lighting, alarms, shutdown systems etc. Incorporates LFH (Limited Fire Hazard) sheath for reduced levels of smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire.

Construction:

• In accordance with DS 02-527.
• Conductor: Stranded Class 2 tinned copper conductors to BS EN 60228.
• Insulation: Up to & including 16mm2 - silicone rubber insulation to BS7655 + fibre glass braid and lacquer.
25mm2 and above - silicone impregnated glass tapes.
• Core Identification: Cores shall be number printed.
• Outer Sheath: Black LFH (Limited Fire Hazard) outer sheath to DEF61-12 part 31. In addition, the outer sheath also displays the following characteristics:
Minimum oxygen index: 30%.
Maximum HCL emission @ 800°C: 0.5%.
• Flame retardant to BS EN 50266-2-3 NMV 3.5 (IEC60332-3-23 Category B) as a minimum.
• Meets 3 hour 750°C fire test (identical to IEC60331).
• Voltage Rating: 440V.
• Temperature Rating: 105°C maximum conductor operating temperature.
N.B. Cables also retain a degree of flexibility under weatherdeck conditions of -30°C.

Standards:

• Military Specifications: Likely conforms to stringent military standards for durability, reliability, and performance.
• International Standards: Might also adhere to international electrical standards for safety and quality.

Features:

• High Durability: Resistant to harsh marine conditions, such as saltwater, high humidity, and varying temperatures.
• Safety: The LSZH jacketing ensures safety in enclosed spaces by reducing the emission of toxic gases in case of fire.
• Flexibility: Silicone rubber insulation allows for flexibility, which is crucial in tight and complex installations aboard ships.
• Electrical Performance: Designed to provide stable electrical performance in high-voltage applications, even in demanding conditions.
