FIREGUARD Flame Retardant Cables 

Flame Retardant Power & Control Cables

600/1000V XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Screened Power Cables (4 Cores)

FGD400 1RCVMV-R (CU/XLPE/CUTO/PVC/SWA/PVC 600/1000V Class 2)

Flame Retardant Power & Control Cables

APPLICATION
This cables are designed specifi cally to suit the broad spectrum of requirements of Variable Speed
Drives and also include features for reducing the transmission of electromagnetic interference.
This range of screened cables drastically reduce interferences from electrical noise, especially in
Variable Speed Drive (VSD) applications and are manufactured with fixed conductors.
With shield conductivity of 1/10th of phase conductor conductivity, this range of VSD cables
effectively restrain radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions.

STANDARDS
Basic design adapted to IEC 60502-1

Note: Asterisk ** denotes that the standard compliance is optional, depending on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the cable design.

VOLTAGE RATING
600/1000V

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
Conductor: Plain annealed copper wire, stranded according to IEC(EN) 60228 class 2.
Insulation: Extruded cross-linked XLPE compound.
Inner sheath1: PVC Compound
Screen: Copper TapeInner sheath2: PVC Compound
Armouring: Galvanised Steel Wire
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance,
anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance
standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the
PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
