什麼是 BS 7835 電纜?

Medium Voltage Armoured Cables with Thermosetting Insulation — 3.8/6.6kV to 19/33kV — Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)

中壓鎧裝熱固性絕緣電纜 — 3.8/6.6kV 至 19/33kV — 低煙無鹵(LSZH)

Overview 概述

English

British Standard BS 7835 specifies requirements for single-core and three-core armoured cables with thermosetting insulation rated from 3.8/6.6kV up to 19/33kV. These cables are engineered with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheathing, designed to produce significantly reduced levels of smoke and corrosive gases when exposed to fire compared to conventional cables specified under BS 6622.

BS 7835 cables demonstrate improved fire performance when installed in air and, with metallic armour providing mechanical protection, are suitable for direct burial installation in free-draining soil conditions.

繁體中文

英國標準 BS 7835 規定了額定電壓從 3.8/6.6kV 至 19/33kV 的單芯和三芯鎧裝熱固性絕緣電纜的技術要求。這些電纜採用低煙無鹵(LSZH)護套設計,與 BS 6622 標準規定的傳統電纜相比,在火災條件下產生的煙霧和腐蝕性氣體顯著減少。

BS 7835 電纜在空氣中安裝時具有優異的防火性能,配合金屬鎧裝提供的機械保護,適用於排水良好的土壤中直埋敷設。

Cable Construction 電纜結構

English

BS 7835 cables feature a multi-layer construction designed for optimal electrical performance, mechanical protection, and fire safety. The insulation system uses either Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Type GP8 or cross-linked Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) Type GP7.

繁體中文

BS 7835 電纜採用多層結構設計,以實現最佳的電氣性能、機械保護和防火安全。絕緣系統使用交聯聚乙烯(XLPE)GP8 型或交聯乙丙橡膠(EPR)GP7 型。
