2 Specifications for cable systems is tested to Method for assessment for the fire integrity of large diameter power involves direct mechanical impact and water jet application under fire conditions and Armoured fire resistant cables having thermosetting insulation and low emission of smoke and corrosive gas when affected by fire FP600S is approved by BASEC and LPCB to achieve the highest performance in the test standards BS8491 and BS7846 FP600S is easy to install and handles like a standard armoured cable. No special tools are needed so it can be terminated, glanded and cleated just as easily which ensures substantial installation savings compared with accordance with BS8519 cable should be supported by fixings that do not compromise its fire performance and withstand at least the same fire conditions so management systems, supports, joints and terminations should be selected is recommended that joints are avoided in order to maintain the highest integrity of the use of BICON cable glands and cleats is :2005 >BS8491:2008 >BS7846.

Active fire safety systems which, as part of a Fire safety Engineering solution, rely on an effective electrical supply remaining operational during a emphasis is now being given to the integrity of electrical circuits which maintain the functional safe working conditions of such equipment and systems.

5 FP600S is a new generation fire resistant cable designed to meet the much more onerous fire survival requirement now considered appropriate for such of circuits which are required to remain operational under such conditions include:The new requirements and test method for cables for use in such applications, which involves an integrated fire test with the application of radiation by flame, direct impact and water jet to a single sample of cable are given in BS7346-6 Components for smoke and heat control systems - Part 6 Specification for Cable has been extensively tested against these requirements and achieved the maximum 120 minute DESCRIPTIONCONDUCTORP lain annelaed copper stranded circular (4-35 mm ) or shaped (50-400 mm ) conductor complying with BS EN 60228 Class Insulation:Mineral ceramic (Mica/Glass) fire resistant tapeSecondary Insulation.
