Elpar HDGS FE180 PH90/E30-90 Fire Resistant Cable 5x1.5mm²

The Elpar HDGS FE180 PH90/E30-90 is a specialized fire-resistant power cable engineered to maintain electrical circuit integrity under extreme fire conditions. With a 5x1.5mm² conductor configuration, this cable is designed to support critical infrastructure by ensuring that essential safety systems remain operational during a fire event for a duration of up to 90 minutes. Its robust construction and high-temperature resistance make it a reliable choice for demanding environments where fire safety and system reliability are non-negotiable.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional performance in emergency situations, providing high resistance to fire and heat. The FE180 rating ensures that the insulation maintains its properties for 180 minutes, while the PH90 classification guarantees circuit integrity for 90 minutes under direct flame exposure. The red outer sheath allows for easy identification as a safety-critical component within complex electrical installations. Its design minimizes the emission of toxic gases and smoke, contributing to safer evacuation conditions in the event of a fire.

Suitable for

• Emergency lighting systems
• Fire alarm and detection systems
• Smoke extraction and ventilation equipment
• Emergency power supply for fire pumps
• Public and industrial building safety infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for general-purpose electrical wiring in residential or commercial areas where fire-resistant properties are not required by building codes. It is also not suitable for applications involving constant submersion in water or direct burial without additional protective conduit.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm²
• Number of conductors: 5
• Fire resistance rating: FE180 / PH90 / E30-90
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to +70°C
• Flammability class: Eca
• Cable shape: Hose
• Color: Red

How to use

The cable should be installed by qualified electrical professionals in accordance with local fire safety regulations and electrical standards. 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. Connections should be made using fire-resistant junction boxes to maintain the integrity of the entire circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the specific fire safety requirements for your building project
• Ensure the 1.5mm² cross-section is sufficient for the intended electrical load
• Confirm the total length required for your installation
• Check compatibility with existing fire-rated mounting systems

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the cable is installed in compliance with national fire safety standards and that all connections are made using certified fire-resistant components to guarantee the full PH90 performance rating.
