BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2 MG-XLPE-IS-OS-SWA-LSOH
Applications
60331 mica armoured fire resistant lszh versions (Part 1Type 2) are typically used in chemical and process industries where there is danger of fire. The galvanised steel wire armour provides excellent protection.
Construction
| Conductor | Annealed or tinned copper, Class 2 |
| Insulation | Mica glass tape, XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene),or PE (optional) |
| Pairing | Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm |
| Colour code | See technical information |
| Binder tape | PETP transparent tape |
| Collective screen | Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs metallic side down in contact with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm^2 |
| Inner Sheath | LSOH(Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath |
| Amour | Galvanized steel wire armour |
| Outer sheath | LSOH(Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath Flame retardant to IEC60332-3-22 Fire resistant to IEC60331 Halogen free to IEC60754-1 Low smoke emission to IEC61034-1-2 |
| Sheath colour | Black or blue |
