ALSECURE® PLUS MICA TAPE SINGLE CORE🔥 FIRE RATED
Single Core Flexible Copper Conductor | Mica Taped | 0.6/1kV | AS/NZS 3013 WS52W Circuit Integrity | 110°C
The ALSECURE® PLUS MICA TAPE SINGLE CORE represents the highest standard in fire-resistant cable technology, utilizing proven glass mica tape barrier technology to maintain circuit integrity during fire conditions. This cable is specifically engineered for critical life-safety applications where continued electrical operation during fire events is essential for emergency evacuation systems, fire suppression equipment, and essential services.[1]
The mica tape layer provides a ceramic-like barrier that maintains dielectric properties at temperatures exceeding 800°C, ensuring the cable can continue to supply power to critical circuits for a minimum of 120 minutes (2 hours) during fire conditions as verified by AS/NZS 3013 WS52W testing protocols.[2]
The WS52W classification per AS/NZS 3013 defines the fire and mechanical performance characteristics of wiring system elements. Understanding this rating is essential for specifying cables in life-safety applications.[3]
