Firetuf FTP 120 - Fire Resistant Armoured Power Cable

Draka Firetuf FTP120 is a fire resistant armoured power cable solution for all three categories of fire performance required by BS8519, Category 1,2 and 3.
FTP120 is third party approved by LPCB for 120 min classification in BS8491. This is the test for fire resistance that includes direct flame, direct impact and
water jet at 850C. FTP120 holds third party BASEC certification to BS7846, the construction requirements for fire resistant armoured cables. LU approved
cable (LU Approval ref 406).

Construction
Manufacturing standard:

BS 7846

Conductors:

Stranded plain annealed copper wire (Class 2) to BS EN 60228

Insulation:

Mica-glass fire resistant tapes, covered by an extruded layer of XLPE

Binder:

Polyester tape, glass tapes where perfromance requires

Bedding:

Zero Halogen, Low Smoke (OHLS)

Armour:

Galvanised Steel Wire Armour

Sheath:

Zero Halogen, Low Smoke (OHLS)

Core colours:

Two core: Brown and Blue

Three core: Brown, Black and Grey
Four core: Brown, Black, Grey and Blue

Physical Characteristics
Voltage rating (Uo/U):

600/1000V

Operating temp:

-25C to +90C
(the cable should not be installed when either the ambient or cable
temperature is below 0C)

Min, bending radius:

8 x overall diameter of cable

Curent rating:

Refer to tables 4E4A & 4E4B in BS7671 or ERA 69-30 Part V

Note: In the event of a fire, the increase in impedance may require consideration to the installation of larger
conductor sizes, to accommodate motor starting loads and the performance of protective conductors.

Performance Characteristics
Circuit integrity:

BS 7846 F120
BS 8491 30, 60 and 120mins

Smoke emission:

BS EN 61034-2

Acid gas emmision:

BS EN 50267-2-1

Flame propagation:

BS EN 60332-1-2
BS EN 60332-3-24
