A comprehensive technical guide to British Standard BS6883 elastomer insulated cables for fixed wiring in ships and mobile/fixed offshore marine units.
英國標準BS6883彈性體絕緣電纜技術全面指南，用於船舶和移動/固定海上平台的固定佈線。
Introduction to BS6883 Standard BS6883 標準介紹
British Standard BS6883 covers the specifications for elastomer insulated cables for fixed wiring in ships (shipwiring) and on mobile and fixed offshore marine units. This standard specifies the requirements and test methods for shipboard fixed wiring of lighting, power, control, instrumentation and propulsion circuits with a voltage rating of up to 8.7/15kV.
英國標準BS6883涵蓋了用於船舶（船用佈線）和移動及固定海上平台固定佈線的彈性體絕緣電纜規格。該標準規定了電壓等級高達8.7/15kV的照明、電力、控制、儀表和推進電路的船用固定佈線要求和測試方法。
BS6883 cables are manufactured with low smoke halogen free (LSZH) materials which is an important factor in minimising the risk to human lives and sensitive equipment in the event of a fire on board offshore units. This standard is complemented by BS7917 which covers the requirements for fire resistance (limited circuit integrity).
BS6883電纜採用低煙無鹵（LSZH）材料製造，這是在海上平台發生火災時最大限度減少對人員生命和敏感設備風險的重要因素。該標準由BS7917補充，BS7917涵蓋了耐火性（有限電路完整性）的要求。
Fire Safety Performance | 消防安全性能
BS6883 cables prioritize four main fire performance requirements: Flame Retardancy (ability to slow flame spread), Low Smoke Emission (visibility for evacuation and fire-fighting), Low Acid/Corrosive Gas Emission (protection of personnel and equipment), and Fire Survival (maintaining circuit integrity). These properties are critical in enclosed marine environments where escape routes must remain visible and sensitive navigation equipment must be protected.
BS6883電纜優先考慮四項主要消防性能要求：阻燃性（減緩火焰蔓延的能力）、低煙霧排放（疏散和消防的能見度）、低酸性/腐蝕性氣體排放（保護人員和設備）以及耐火性（保持電路完整性）。這些特性在封閉的海洋環境中至關重要，因為逃生通道必須保持可見，敏感的導航設備必須受到保護。
BS6883 Cable Type Designations BS6883 電纜類型標識
BS6883 classifies ship wiring cables and offshore cables according to three main type designations based on their oil resistance and halogen content properties.
BS6883根據耐油性和鹵素含量特性將船用佈線電纜和海上電纜分為三種主要類型標識。
Type SW2
Properties: Flame retardant, reduced halogen gas emission
Application: Areas requiring maximum oil resistance and mechanical protection
重型增強耐油、阻燃、減少鹵素氣體排放。用於需要最大耐油性和機械保護的區域。
Type SW3
Properties: Low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire
Application: General shipboard installations with standard oil resistance
普通型耐油、火災時低煙霧和腐蝕性氣體排放。用於需要標準耐油性的一般船用安裝。
Type SW4
Properties: Low emission of smoke and gases when affected by fire, enhanced oil resistance
Application: Most common type for fixed installations in all areas including accommodation and open deck
普通型增強耐油、火災時低煙霧和氣體排放。用於所有區域（包括住宿和露天甲板）固定安裝的最常見類型。

BS6883 specifies the following outersheath colours for different cable applications to enable easy identification of cable type and voltage rating.
BS6883為不同電纜應用規定了以下外護套顏色，以便於識別電纜類型和電壓等級。

LSZH Safety Benefits | 低煙無鹵安全優勢
BS6883 cables with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) properties are critical for marine environments because they: minimize smoke generation for visibility during evacuation, eliminate toxic halogen gases that endanger personnel, prevent corrosive acid formation that damages sensitive equipment, and maintain circuit integrity during fire conditions. These properties are essential in enclosed ship and platform environments where escape routes must remain visible and navigation/safety equipment must continue operating.
具有LSZH（低煙零鹵素）特性的BS6883電纜對海洋環境至關重要，因為它們：最大限度減少煙霧生成以保持疏散時的能見度，消除危害人員的有毒鹵素氣體，防止損壞敏感設備的腐蝕性酸形成，並在火災條件下保持電路完整性。這些特性在封閉的船舶和平台環境中至關重要，因為逃生通道必須保持可見，導航/安全設備必須繼續運行。
