Elpar HDGS FE180 PH90/E30-90 Fire Resistant Power Cable 4x2.5mm²

The Elpar HDGS FE180 PH90/E30-90 is a specialized fire-resistant power cable engineered to maintain electrical circuit integrity under extreme conditions. With a 4x2.5mm² configuration, this cable is designed to provide reliable power transmission for critical safety systems during fire events, ensuring that essential equipment remains operational for the required duration.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional thermal resistance, meeting stringent safety standards for fire performance. Its construction ensures that it continues to function for up to 90 minutes when exposed to direct fire, which is vital for maintaining emergency services. The robust design and high-quality materials provide durability and consistent performance in demanding industrial and public building environments, minimizing the risk of system failure during emergencies.

Suitable for

• Emergency lighting systems
• Fire alarm and detection installations
• Smoke extraction and ventilation systems
• Emergency power supply for critical infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for standard general-purpose electrical wiring where fire resistance is not a requirement, as its specialized construction makes it heavier and less flexible than standard cables. It is also not suitable for direct burial or underwater installations unless additional protective measures are implemented.

Key specifications

• Number of conductors: 4
• Conductor cross-section: 2.5 mm²
• Fire resistance rating: FE180 PH90/E30-90
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 70°C
• Flammability class: Eca
• Cable shape: Round (hose type)
• Color: Red

How to use

The cable should be installed by qualified professionals in accordance with local fire safety regulations and electrical codes. It is typically routed through cable trays, conduits, or fixed directly to walls using appropriate fire-rated mounting hardware. Ensure that the bending radius is respected during installation to prevent damage to the internal insulation layers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the specific fire safety requirements for your building project
• Ensure the 2.5 mm² cross-section is sufficient for your power load requirements
• Check the total length required for your installation
• Confirm compatibility with existing fire-rated junction boxes and connectors

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the cable for any physical damage before installation. Ensure that all connections are made using certified fire-resistant components to maintain the integrity of the entire system.
