Performance of Cables Subject to Thermal Radiation.

摘要

Cables are in many cases part of safety systems and hence knowledge of their functional performance is vital. In this project the performance of cables subject to thermal radiation has been investigated. Four different cables were investigated, two data cables and two low voltage cables. The cables were irradiated in the cone calorimeter and the time to short circuit was measured. In addition a case study was made on optical cables subject to thermal radiation and on one data cable subject to an elevated temperature.
