550 MCM 1C Stranded Tinned Copper Shielded Braid Halogen-Free GAALSHIP BFOU 0.6/1 kV Offshore Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 550 MCM 1C Stranded Tinned Copper Shielded Braid Halogen-Free GAALSHIP BFOU 0.6/1 kV Offshore Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable type is primarily used in offshore marine applications, catering to systems that require high safety standards against fire hazards. Its construction includes tinned copper which provides excellent corrosion resistance—an essential feature in marine environments.

Also Known As:

This cable may be referred to in industry documents or inventories by other names based on its specifications, such as "Marine BFOU Cable," "Offshore Halogen-Free Cable," or simply by its specification "550 MCM  AWG Shielded Braid Cable."

Application:

• Power, control, and instrumentation wiring in offshore structures like oil rigs, ships, and wind farms.
• Applications requiring fire-resistant cables that can maintain circuit integrity during fires.
• Situations demanding low smoke and fume emissions to ensure visibility and reduce toxicity during a fire.

Standards:

• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for marine cable constructions, specifically IEC 60092 series.
• Flame retardant to IEC 60332-3-22; halogen-free according to IEC 60754-1/2; and low smoke emission according to IEC 61034.
• Meets the requirements for a BFOU cable type, which stands for Braid Fire-resistant Oil-resistant UV-resistant under the GAALSHIP standards.
