14、ion of BS 7870 specifies requirements for the construction, dimensions and mechanical and physical properties of multipair cables with halogen-free insulation and sheaths, having reduced fire propagation performance and low emission of smoke when affected by fire. It specifies requirements for multi
15、pair cables (up to 200-pair) with copper conductors, a collective screen and armouring consisting of a single layer of steel wires or a double layer of steel tapes. It specifies requirements for both Type 1 and Type 2 cables, which are defined as follows: Type 1: cable designed for the installation
16、and operating conditions prevailing in a conventional fossil fuelled power station or equivalent location; Type 2: cable designed for the installation and operating conditions prevailing in a PWR power station, but excluding location in or around the containment area. The requirements specified in t
17、his section of BS 7870 are applicable to both Type 1 and Type 2 cables unless otherwise indicated. This section of BS 7870 is applicable to cables for use in and around power stations and other installations having similar cable densities.

32、equirements given in Table 8. The insulation for Type 2 cables shall be an extruded layer of an aromatic based compound conforming to the requirements of this specification and meeting the requirements of BS EN 50265-2-2 in the core stage. The insulation shall be applied so that it fits closely on t
33、he conductor and it shall be possible to remove it without damage to the insulation itself or to the conductor. The insulation shall be applied by a suitable extrusion process, cross-linked where required, and shall form a compact and homogenous body. Conformity shall be checked by the test methods
