Fires involving electrical cables are one of the main hazards in Nuclear Power Plants
(NPPs). Cables are complex assemblies including several polymeric parts (insulation …

The presented study deals with the fire risk of electrical cables. Samples of three-core
electrical power cables and two-core electrical control cables were investigated. The …

The fire performances of small telecom halogen-free cables were measured using cone
calorimeter by changing several test conditions (heat flux, number and spacing of cables) …

To fill the shortages in the knowledge of the pyrolysis and combustion properties of new and
aged polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheaths, several experiments were performed by …

Cable fires are one of the main fire hazards in nuclear power plants. As part of the cable fire
spreading (CFS) campaign of the OECD PRISME‐2 programme, 3 real‐scale cable tray fire …

The occurrence rate of fire events involved with cables is high and a fire hazard analysis is
needed. A cable tray may be commonly placed on a wall. The fire hazards of multiple cable …

With the development of the social economy and the improvement of electrification, cables
and wires play an important role in people's lives and industrial development. Meanwhile …

Power cables consist of insulation, padding and sheathing, which are highly susceptible to
ignition. Power cables are an important factor affecting fire risk in urban utility tunnels …

Cable fire risk analysis is important for fire protection design in nuclear power plants, where
multiple horizontal cable trays are mostly located on the walls. Fire experiments using three …

The decomposition and fire behaviors of two commonly used cables were studied by a
calorimeter. The effects of the cable type, the incident heat flux, and the thermal aging on the …
