1.0mm 3C Stranded Tinned Copper Braid Shielded LFH 600V Military Vessels Shipboard Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 1.0mm 3C Stranded Tinned Copper Braid Shielded LFH 600V Military Vessels Shipboard Cable: 100 Amps

About:

• This cable is specifically engineered for military shipboard use, where robustness, reliability, and safety are crucial. The use of tinned copper in the braid shield provides excellent corrosion resistance, which is vital in marine environments. LFH stands for "Low Fire Hazard," indicating that the cable is designed to minimize fire risks and hazards.

Also Known As:

• Military Grade Shipboard Cable
• LFH Shielded Marine Cable
• Tinned Copper Braid 600V Cable for Naval Use

Application:

• Thin-wall, lightweight copper wire braid screened multi-core cables for power, lighting, control, communication and instrumentation circuits in HM surface ships and vessels. Incorporates LFH (Limited Fire Hazard) insulation and sheath for reduced levels of smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire. May be used in flexing or fixed applications and suitable for use where fuel, lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids and water are present.

Construction:

• In accordance with DEF61-12 part 25.
• Conductor: Stranded Class 2 tinned copper conductors to BS EN 60228.
• Insulation: Thin-wall LFH (Limited Fire Hazard) insulation to DEF61-12 part 25. N.B. Cores shall meet the requirements of DEF61-12 part 18 for either category 1 wires.
• Core Identification: 2 core - red, blue.
3 core - red, blue, white.
Above three core - Red and blue marker cores adjacent in each layer with remaining cores white.
N.B. When a single core is used as a centre the colour shall be white. In addition, cables of four core and above will also be numbered, in a contrasting colour, the core colours remaining as detailed above.
• Binder Tape: p.e.t.p. tape minimum 20% overlap.
• Braid: Tinned copper wire braid (minimum filling factor 0.61).
• Outer Sheath: Black LFH (Limited Fire Hazard) outer sheath to DEF61-12 part 31. In addition, the outer sheath also displays the following characteristics:
Minimum oxygen index: 30%.
Maximum HCL emission @ 800°C: 0.5%.
• Flame retardant to DS 02-641.
• Voltage Rating: 600V rms/800V d.c. (between cores, or between cores and ships structure, or between cores and cable screen).
• Temperature Rating: 85°C maximum conductor operating temperature.
N.B. Cables will also retain a degree of flexibility under weatherdeck conditions of -30°C.

Standards:

• This type of cable would adhere to stringent military and marine standards, which may include:

• High voltage rating (600V) for heavy-duty applications
• Specific military standards for electronic equipment
• International maritime safety standards
• Fire and smoke performance specifications

Features:

• Corrosion Resistance: Tinned copper is highly resistant to corrosion, especially in salty, marine environments
• Low Fire Hazard: Designed to significantly reduce fire risks and produce minimal smoke and toxic fumes
• EMI/RFI Shielding: Protects against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, crucial for maintaining the integrity of communication and control systems on board
