FR (Flame Retardant) PVC Insulated House Wires

L&T House Wires are made of Electrolytic grade, bright, plain annealed copper conductor, as per IS : 8130 -1984. These wires are suitable for all Commercial & Domestic wiring applications. For additional safety, the insulation is of Flame Retardant - FR PVC compound. It has high oxygen and temperature index. L&T House Wires are twin coated for superior insulation. The House Wires have uniform diameter and are available in standard lengths of 90 metre and 180 metre coils.

Single core, twin insulated wires in voltage grade 1100V, conforming to IS:694-1990 with additional FR properties.

Special Insulation wires

L&T Flame Retardant Low Smoke (FRLS) wire - These wires are made of special insulation material with higher oxygen and temperature indices and lower smoke density rating and acid gas generation. This insulation retards flame propagation and generates low smoke under fire condition. L&T Zero Halogen Flame Retardant (ZHFR) wire - The insulation is free from halogen, thus preventing emission of corrosive gases under conditions of fire. These wires are primarily used where critical control supply is essential during a Oxygen Index is used as a measure of flame retardant property of the insulating material. The oxygen index indicates percentage of oxygen required for supporting combustion of insulating material at room temperature. Higher oxygen index is desirable. Electrolytic grade copper conductor carries specified current without deterioration Uniform and twin insulation ensures safer protection Centrally aligned Copper conductor with uniform diameter Temperature Index indicates the temperature at which normal oxygen content of 21% in air will support combustion of insulating material. Higher temperature index is better. Smoke Density indicates the loss of light transmission from insulation material under fire. Lower the Smoke Density, the better is the visibility & efficacy of fire fighting operations. Acid Gas Generation indicates the amount of hydrochloric

The human body's reaction to electric shock*

Electrical shock currents, passing through the human body, confuse its internal nervous system. This causes the body to react to the passage of current through it as follows : 3mA - a tingling sensation is felt.
