FTG18M16 1x185 sq. mm cable: maximum safety and quality materials
Maximum safety and fire resistance
Flexible power cable FTG18M16 is designed for maximum reliability under fire conditions, ensuring continuous operation for 120 minutes at 820 degrees, with direct exposure to fire and mechanical shock. Due to its construction with G18 rubber insulation and LS0H M16 sheathing, the cable is halogen-free and limits the spread of flames and development of toxic fumes, contributing to the safety of critical environments.
High-quality construction and materials
This cable consists of:
-
Red annealed copper conductor with flexible cord (class 5), providing excellent electrical conductivity
-
Helically wound glass/mica tape, for high temperature resistance
-
G18 rubber insulation, offering thermal and mechanical protection
-
LS0H (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) M16 sheathing, with excellent safety properties in case of fire
Flexible 1x185 sq. mm cable: electrical efficiency and versatile laying
Reliable electrical and mechanical performance
Designed to withstand harsh operating conditions, with a voltage rating of 0.6/1 kV and current carrying capacity up to 510 A in free air. It also withstands temperatures up to 250 degrees when short-circuited and has a maximum tensile stress of 50 N/mm², ensuring mechanical strength even in complex installations.
Laying and installation conditions
This cable can be installed indoors and outdoors, even in wet conditions, on masonry, metal structures, catwalks, pipes and conduits. It is also suitable for underground laying, even without additional protection, ensuring versatility and safety in any context.
