Depending on the degree of fire performance requirements, the electrical consultant can decide the right wire for the application. Apar offers a wide range of these cables from Fire Retardant varieties to Fire Resistant properties. There is an important distinction between fire resistant cables and flame retardant cables. Both are subjected to a series of fire performance tests in order to distinguish them.
For example while flame retardant cables are designed to resist the spread of fire into a new area, the fire resistant or fire performance cables are designed to maintain circuit integrity and continue to work for a specified period of time under certain defined conditions.
This difference between the two types is very important especially in case of maintenance of critical circuits required for life safety or for an immediate and secure plant shutdown.
