Due to the excellent cold and heat resistance of the Silicone insulation, these cables are especially suitable for the wires of heating and cooling devices as well as power electronic equipment.
The good flexibility, even at low temperatures, singles out Silicone insulated cables to be used for the wires of appliances and machines subjected to continuous movements and vibrations, even outdoors.
Application
The SILIFLEX cable is used where high flexibility is required and high temperature conditions are present.
The operating temperature for continuous service extends from –55°C up to 180°C.
Construction
- Copper conductor tinned, flexible IEC 60228, class 5
- Tape (up 6 mm2)
- Silicone rubber insulation
The use of silicone rubber, a high grade corona resistant insulation material, gives the cable excellent dielectric strength.
In the event of fire, no corrosive and toxic gases will be given off. Hence, damage caused by fire can be kept to a minimum.
Compared with other plastic insulated cables, SILIFLEX generates only little smoke and is therefore defined as «low smoke grade» according to the «Guideline for fire regulations». Of course, the cable meets the requirements concerning fire propagation specified in IEEE 383 and IEC 60332-3 respectively.
