22、IC AND OPTICAL FIBRE CABLES UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS Part 1-2: Test for vertical flame propagation for a single insulated wire or cable Procedure for 1 kW pre-mixed flame 1 Scope This part of IEC 60332 specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single vertica

23、l electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical fibre cable, under fire conditions. The apparatus is given in IEC 60332-1-1. NOTE 1 Testing to IEC 60332-1-2 may be performed simultaneously with that to IEC 60332-1-3 if required. Recommended requirements for performance are given in Annex A. IE

24、C 60332-1-2 specifies the use of a 1 kW pre-mixed flame and is for general use, except that the procedure specified may not be suitable for the testing of small single insulated conductors or cables of less than 0,5 mm total cross-section because the conductor melts before the test is completed, or

25、for the testing of small optical fibre cables because the cable is broken before the test is completed. In these cases, the procedure given in IEC 60332-2-2 is recommended. NOTE 2 Since the use of insulated conductor or cable which retards flame propagation and complies with the recommended requirem

26、ents of this standard is not sufficient by itself to prevent propagation of fire under all conditions of installation, it is recommended that wherever the risk of propagation is high, for example in long vertical runs of bunches of cables, special installation precautions should also be taken. It ca

27、nnot be assumed that because the sample of cable complies with the performance requirements recommended in this standard, that a bunch of cables will behave in a similar manner.

30、Fri Mar 25 01:36:01 GMT 2005, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. The definitions are taken from IEC 60695-4. 3.1 ignition source source of energy that initiates combustion IEC 60695-4:1993, definition 2.76

31、3.2 char carbonaceous residue resulting from pyrolysis or incomplete combustion IEC 60695-4:1993, definition 2.12 4 Test apparatus The apparatus specified in IEC 60332-1-1 shall be used. 5 Procedure 5.1 Sample The test sample shall be a piece of single insulated conductor or cable (600 25) mm long.

32、5.2 Conditioning Before testing, all test pieces shall be conditioned at (23 5) C for not less than 16 h at a relative humidity of (50 20) %. In the case of a single insulated conductor or cable with a finish of paint or lacquer, this conditioning shall follow an initial period where the test piece

33、shall be kept at a temperature of (60 2) C for 4 h. 5.3 Positioning of test piece The test piece shall straightened and be secured to two horizontal supports by means of a suitable size of copper wire, in a vertical position in the centre of the metal screen, as described in 4.2 of IEC 60332-1-1, so

34、 that the distance between the bottom of the upper support and the top of the lower support is (550 5) mm. In addition, the test piece shall be positioned so that the bottom of the specimen is approximately 50 mm from the base of the screen (see Figure 1). The vertical axis of the test piece shall b

35、e arranged centrally within the screen (i.e. 150 mm from each side and 225 mm from the rear).

36、llowing when conducting tests: a) the risk of fire or explosion; b) the inhalation of smoke and/or noxious products, particularly when halogenated materials are burned; c) harmful residues. 5.4.1 Positioning of flame One burner, as described in 4.3 of IEC 60332-1-1, shall be ignited and the recommen

37、ded flow rates of gas and air adjusted. The burner shall be positioned so that the tip of the inner blue cone impinges on the surface of the test piece at a distance of (475 5) mm from the lower edge of the upper horizontal support, whilst the burner is at an angle of 45 2 to the vertical axis of th

38、e test piece (see Figure 2). For flat-form cables, the flame impingement shall be on the middle of the flat side of the cable. 5.4.2 Test duration The flame shall be applied continuously for the period of time corresponding to the diameter shown in Table 1. Table 1 Time for flame application Overall

40、at cables having a ratio of major to minor axis greater than 17:1, the flame application time remains under consideration. At the end of the specified test duration, the burner shall be removed and the flame of the burner extinguished. 6 Evaluation of test results After all burning has ceased, the t

41、est piece shall be wiped clean. All soot shall be ignored if, when wiped off, the original surface is undamaged. Softening or any deformation of the non-metallic materials shall also be ignored. The distance from the lower edge of the top support to the upper onset of charring and the distance from

42、the lower edge of the top support to the lower onset of charring shall be measured to the nearest millimetre. Page6 EN6033212:2004Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Fri Mar 25 01:36:01 GMT 2005, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI The onset of char shall be determined as follows. Press against the cable surface wi

43、th a sharp object, for example, a knife blade. Where the surface changes from a resilient to a brittle (crumbling) surface indicates the onset of charring.

46、ype or class of insulated conductor or cable should preferably be given in the individual cable standard. In the absence of any given requirement it is recommended that those given below should be taken as a minimum acceptable level. The single insulated conductor or cable shall pass the test if the

47、 distance between the lower edge of the top support and the onset of charring is greater than 50 mm. In addition, a failure shall be recorded if charring extends downwards to a point greater than 540 mm from the lower edge of the top support. If a failure is recorded, two more tests shall be carried

48、 out. If both tests result in passes, the single insulated conductor or cable shall be deemed to have passed the test.
