WIRES & WIRING CABLES RIYADH CABLES GROUP OF COMPANIES.INTRODUCTION Wires, Cables and cords rated 300/500 V, 300/500 V and 4501750 V used forelecric pow, lighting, internal wring, electric power, domestic, office and similar environents_ as specified in IEC'60227. BS 6004 and BS EN 50525- 341 In addition, ROGC manufactures numerous varieties of cables and conduc- tors to both National and International Standards to meet specific customer heeds and specifications. ‘Asa leading manufacturer of wire and cables known as WIRE PEOPLE in the Middle East, we have devoted ourselves to the development of National and International key industries by supplying quality products on time with the bast servies, ‘Quality Assured Effective Qually Management system is maintaind at ROGC as a key to the long term operational reliability of its cable, Stringent Qualily Assurance Measures are implemented in all stages of production from rew material tocable performance by a central Quality Assurance Department. Under the professional centrol many divisions ofthe joint venture have demonstrated “competence by obtaining ISO - 9001 (TUV certified) and QMS agproval from BAS.EC, (Bilish Approvals Service for Cables). At RCGC all Quality Assurance precedures and systems are regulary audited against Inter- rational Standards,MORE INFORMATION FOR LSHE WIRE: Fire is a complex and emotive subject, the consequences of fre can be catas- trophic. The nature of organic. material used in the manufacture of wires and Possible installation conditions in areas of the fire risk can lead to a situation where wires may contribute to the spread of fire, emission of smoke and release of combustion products injurious to equipment and human healt, In power stations, hospitals, theatres, hotels and other large public buildings, the loss of visibiliy caused by smoke evolved from burning cable materials ‘can ‘cause panic and create serious problems when evacuating personnel Location of the fre source and fie fighting are also greatly hampered by smoke, ‘Additionally the presence of corrosive gases in the smoke result in damage and failure of sensitive electrical equipment and may inate long term deterioration of structures, 2s well as being injurious to the health of personnel even after short exposure. Awareness of this situation has lead to the development of new wire technolog- ies and introduction by major cable users of wire types with low emission of smoke, corrosive and toxic fures and reduced flame propagation properties. In considering cable systems with improved fre performance characteristics it is Useful fo first consider the various aspects ofthe effect of fire on a cable ‘* Propagation offre along cable runs * Evolution of smoke leading to obstruction of exits * Evolution of acid gas leading to corrosion of equipment * Evolution of toxic fumes leading to personal injury LLSHE wires use special formulation based on non-halogenated polymers in order to restrict the generation of smoke as much as possible, Materials are carefully selected and the compounds carefully designed in order to ensure the best Performance of the external sheaths, which are directly exposed to fire. LSHF wires manufactured by Riyadh Cables group have been designed to offer improved performance in areas where smoke and fume emission in the event of 2 fre would cause particular problems. Compounds used in LSHF wires do not ‘contain halogen hence, do not emit halogensted acids when burt which help in minimizing the total cost of the damage caused by fie and gerverale Iie Smoke when burned, Furthermore, the rate at which this low level of smoke is released, 's very much slower than that of PVC or similar halogenated polymers, LSHF wires manufactured by Riyadh Cables nave controled imits on smoke evolution, when assessed by burning samples of wires in @ 3 meter cube smoke chamber as per IEC 61034. Generally these wires combine the proper- ties of low corosive gas emission and low toxic gas emission as they are ‘essentially halogen free when asseustd by IEC 60754-1 und IEC 6074-2, MORE INFORMATION FOR LSHE WIRES VERTICAL FLAME TEST FOR SINGLE CABLES (IEC 60: 2-1-2) PURPOSE ‘The purpose of the testis to determine the resistance to flame propagation for single verical cables, This test is not suitable for small wires with solid conductor having a diameter less than 0.8 mm or stranded conductors less than 0.5 mm? because the conductor ‘meits before the testis completed.

A 1 KW flame pro- ‘duced by a propane bumer with adjustable air and gas flow is used, (This design of the bumeris described in Tec 60695-11-2 CALIBRATION ‘The burner is calibrated by adjusting the flame to about 180 mm and the inner blue cone to 85 mm. The temperature increase is measured 95 mm above the top of the burner by using a thermocouple in a copper slug. The time for the temperature from 100°C to 700°C should be 45 s,MORE INFORMATION FOR LSHF WIRES SMOKE DENSITY 3 M TEST CUBE (IEC 61034) PURPOSE ‘The measurement of smoke density is an impcrtant aspect in the evaluation of the buming performance of elecric cables as tis related to the evacuation of Persons and accessibility for fire-fighting. The standard describe measurements of smoke emission when electric wires are burned horizontally.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION A predetermined quantity of the test material is bumed in a tube furnace. The evolved gases are trapped by bubbling through bottles filed with distilled or dorsineralized water. The acidity is measured by determination of pH value.
