SIF SIFF

Application

Silicone single core cables are used in high as well as extremely low temperature areas. They are used mainly in the steel producing industries, in aviation industries as well as in ship building, cement, glass and ceramic factories. These cables are halogen-free, especially suited for use in power stations.

Standard

Adapted to VDE 0250 part 1 and 502.

Technical Data

  • Voltage Rating : UO / U - 300 / 500V
  • Test Voltage: 2000V
  • Temperature Range: -50°C to +180°C (up to + 200°C for short time with adequate ventilation)
  • Minimum Bending Radius: Fixed installation: 6 x cable ø. One bend at end of core 3 x cable ø

Cable Construction

Tinned copper conductor Cl. 5, to EN 60228.
Silicone core insulation.
Type SiFF : This variant is similar to SiF with high flexible copper strands.
*SiF and SiFF is also available with polyester yarn over the cable.

Properties

  • Advantages: High ignition or flash point.
  • Resistant to: High molecular oils, fats from vegetables and animals, alcohols, plasticisers and diluted acids, dyes and salt dissolution, oxidation substances, tropical influences and weather, lake water, oxygen and UV.
  • Halogen - Free : According to IEC 60754-2.
  • Behaviour in Fire: Flame propagation test according to EN 60332 - 1 - 2.
