22、lated wire or cable Procedure for diffusion flame 1 Scope This part of IEC 60332 specifies the procedure for testing the resistance to vertical flame propagation for a single small vertical electrical insulated conductor or cable, or optical cable, under fire conditions. The apparatus is given in IE

23、C 60332-2-1. This standard gives the procedure for testing small optical fibre cables or a small insulated conductor or cable when the method specified in IEC 60332-1-2 is not suitable because some small optical fibre cables may break or small conductors may melt during the application of the flame.

24、 The recommended range of application is for the testing of small single insulated conductors or cables of less than 0,5 mm cross-section. NOTE Since the use of insulated conductor or cable which retards flame propagation and complies with the recommended requirements of this standard is not suffici

25、ent 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 cannot be assumed that because the sa

26、mple of cable complies with the performance requirements recommended in this standard, that a bunch of cables will behave in a similar manner. (See IEC 60332-3 series.) Recommended requirements for performance are given in Annex A. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indisp

29、 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. The terms and definitions are taken from IEC 60695-4. 3.1 ignition source source of energy that initiates combustion IEC 60695-4:1993, definition 2.76 3.2 char carbonaceous residue resulting from pyr

30、olysis or incomplete combustion IEC 60695-4:1993, definition 2.12 4 Test apparatus The apparatus specified in IEC 60332-2-1 shall be used. 5 Procedure 5.1 Sample The test sample shall be a piece of insulated conductor or cable (600 25) mm long. 5.2 Conditioning Before testing, all test pieces shall

31、be conditioned at (23 5) C for not less than 16 h at a relative humidity of (50 20) %. In the case of an insulated conductor or cable with a finish of paint or lacquer, this conditioning shall follow an initial period where the test piece shall be kept at a temperature of (60 2) C for 4 h. 5.3 Posit

32、ioning of test piece 5.3.1 Cables with metallic conductors The test piece shall be straightened and fixed by means of a suitable size of metallic wire in a vertical position in the centre of the metal screen, as described in 4.2 of IEC 60332-2-1. A load of 5 N/mm of conductor area shall be attached

33、to the lower part of the sample so that the distance between the point where the load is attached and the lower edge of the top support measures (550 5) mm (see Figure 1). The vertical axis of the test piece shall be arranged centrally within the screen (i.e. 150 mm from each side and 225 mm from th

34、e rear). 5.3.2 Optical fibre cables The test piece shall be secured to two horizontal supports by means of a suitable size of metallic wire so 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

35、that the bottom of the specimen is approximately 50 mm from the base of the screen (see Figure 2). Page5 EN6033222:2004The vertical axis of the test piece shall be arranged centrally within the screen (i.e. 150 mm from each side and 225 mm from the rear). 5.4 Flame application Safety warning Precaut

36、ions shall be taken to safeguard personnel against the following 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 5.4.1.1 Cables with metall

37、ic conductors The burner shall be arranged as shown in Figure 3. The centre-line of the burner shall be at an angle of 45 2 to the centre line of the test piece. The horizontal distance between the centre line of the burner orifice and the surface of the test piece shall be (10 1) mm. The distance b

38、etween the point at which the burner centre line and test piece centre line intersect and the point where the load of 5 N/mm is applied shall be (100 10) mm. The distance between the point at which the burner and the test piece centre lines intersect and the lower edge of the top support shall not e

39、xceed 465 mm. The flame shall be applied so that it envelops the test piece. 5.4.1.2 Optical fibre cables The burner shall be arranged as shown in Figure 4. The centre-line of the burner shall be at an angle of 45 2 to the centre-line of the test piece. The horizontal distance between the centre lin

40、e of the burner orifice and the surface of the test piece shall be (10 1) mm. The distance between the point at which the burner centre-line and the test-piece centre-line intersect and the top edge of the lower support shall be (100 10) mm. The distance between the point at which the burner and tes

41、t piece centre-lines intersect and the lower edge of the upper horizontal support shall not exceed 465 mm. The flame shall be applied so that it envelops the test piece. 5.4.2 Test duration 5.4.2.1 Cables with metallic conductors The flame shall be applied to the test piece for a duration of (20 1)

42、s. If the test piece is intact, i.e. no melting of conductor, the test shall be evaluated in accordance with Clause 6. Should the metallic conductor prematurely melt, at a time T less than the test duration, the test shall be repeated on a further test piece for a duration of (T 2) s. The assessment

43、 shall then be based only on the further test piece. 5.4.2.2 Optical fibre cables The flame shall be applied to the test piece for a duration of (20 1) s. Page6 EN6033222:20046 Evaluation of test results After all burning has ceased, the test piece shall be wiped clean. All soot shall be ignored if,

44、 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 the lower edge of the top support to the lower onset of charr

45、ing shall be measured to the nearest millimetre. The onset of char shall be determined as follows: Press against the cable surface with 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. Page7 EN603
