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 …

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 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) …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The fire characteristics of polyethylene (PE) copper wire was investigated using cone
calorimetry. The analysis focused on the effect of overload failure and external heat flux on …

In this paper, a pyrolysis model for a PVC cable is constructed using results from
thermogravimetric analysis, microscale combustion calorimeter and cone calorimeter …
