APPLICATION

600/1000V Mica + XLPE insulated

LSZH sheathed fire resistant cable

is designed for critical power circuits.


It is suitable for power stations,

metro systems, tunnels, airports,

petrochemical plants, hospitals,

hotels and high-rise buildings.


The mica tape layer helps maintain

circuit integrity during fire conditions.

Fire performance can be supplied according to

BS 6387, IEC 60331 and BS 8491 requirements,

subject to the project specification.


The XLPE insulation provides reliable

electrical performance and thermal stability.


The LSZH sheath helps reduce smoke emission

and corrosive gas release in the event of fire.


This cable is commonly selected for projects

where fire safety, flame retardance

and low smoke performance are required.


As a multicore unarmoured cable,

it does not provide metallic armour protection.


It is suitable for cable trays,

cable ducts, risers and protected

fixed installation routes.


Where additional mechanical protection

is required, the cable should be installed

with suitable protection.


The cable should be selected according to

voltage rating, number of cores,

conductor size, fire performance,

installation method and project specification.

It can be used in protected ducts

or protected underground routes.


For direct burial or demanding routes,

armoured cable may be required.



What information is required for quotation?


Please confirm voltage rating,

number of cores, conductor size,

cable length and fire performance requirement.


Installation method, sheath colour,

standard and destination port

are also required.



Can BURYCABLE supply BS 8573
