Is it normal for caable fire resistant material to catch on fire?
Abnormal; aging is certainly one of the cause of the fire. That is caused only because of poor insulation and aging caused by short circuit, but a more important reason is configuration of air switch does not meet the requirements. If the capacity of air switch equals that of the cable, trip will happen at the moment when current is overloaded, not causing a short circuit or over current fire.
Abnormal, preventive measures: 1 take fire preventive measures. Measures taken for fire retardant measures of cable: (1) seal closely with fire resistant materials holes ran by cables through walls, shafts to prevent the cable fire, high temperature gas diffusion and spread when cables are on fire. (2) to wrap the cable with the insulation refractory material, when the cable is surrounded with fire, warpped cable is insulated by the insulation material from fire, so it will not be burned. If the cable itself is on fire, fire will be extinguished thankes to lack of oxygen in warpped cable, to avoid the fire to spread out. 2 to strengthen the cable circuit switch and regular protective check and maintenance, to ensure that the action is reliable. 3 to strengthen the cable operation and monitoring, to avoid the overload of the cable operation. . 4 regularly clean dust on the cable, to prevent cable from catching on fire due to the accumulation of dust. 5 to ensure the construction quality, the quality the cable must be strictly in line with the requirements and standards. 6 cable laying should maintain enough distance form the heat pipe, control cable is no longer than 0.5 meters; power cable is no longer than l meters. Control cable and power cable should be divided into slots, be layered and seperated instead of being overlapped . For the parts that do not meet the requirements, measures must be taken to insulate heat and fire. 7 regularly teat cable , abnormal problem should be handled in a timely manner. 8 install fire alarm so that fire will be discovered on time, and cables will not catch on fire. 9 the cable trench should be kept dry to prevent the cable from being affected with damp, or leading to declined insulating function and short circuit.
