Z+ FIREPROOF Electrical safety leads to Fire Safety

ELEVATOR & ESCALATOR CABLES

CONSTRUCTION OF CABLE

The Cable shall comprise 3 upto and including 24 flexible conductors with nominal cross-section areas from 0.75 mm2to 2.5 mm2

The Annealed bare copper conductor complying with the requirement of BS: 6360. The conductor may tinned as required by customer.

The Insulation consisting of PVC type TI-2 PVC Insulation, complying with the requirement of BS: 6746.

The Sheath consists of PVC type TM2 PVC sheath complying with the requirement of BS: 6746.

The sheath extruded in a single layer on the cores laid parallel.

The Composition of the cable according to the nominal cross-section area of conductors is as follows:
