What is ENVIROLEX® 110OC SINGLE CORE?
Single core flexible copper conductor, 0.6/1kV X-HF-110 insulated, HFS-110-TP sheathed Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) power cable rated for 110°C continuous operation
Product Overview
The ENVIROLEX® 110OC SINGLE CORE represents an advanced low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) power cable engineered by Anhui Feichun Special Cable Co., Ltd. for demanding industrial applications where fire safety, thermal performance, and electrical reliability are paramount. This cable series is manufactured in full compliance with Australian and New Zealand standards AS/NZS 5000.1, AS/NZS 1995, and AS/NZS 4507 RHE.
Technical Definition: Single core flexible copper conductor, 0.6/1kV X-HF-110 insulated, HFS-110-TP sheathed to AS/NZS 5000.1, AS/NZS 1995, and AS/NZS 4507 RHE, low smoke zero halogen insulation and sheath, 110°C continuous operating temperature.
According to industry research, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) cables produce significantly lower levels of smoke and toxic fumes compared to PVC cables, with hydrogen chloride (HCl) emissions limited to less than 0.5% as specified by international standards. This critical safety characteristic makes ENVIROLEX® 110OC cables essential for applications where smoke emission and toxic gas release could endanger personnel safety and damage sensitive equipment.
“Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) cables are designed to minimize the release of toxic and corrosive gasses when exposed to fire. Unlike PVC cables which produce vast amounts of dense black smoke, toxic fumes and acid gas, LSZH cables produce very low levels of smoke and toxic fume and no acid gases.”
Purpose and Applications
The ENVIROLEX® 110OC SINGLE CORE cable is specifically engineered for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance and superior fire safety characteristics. The 110°C continuous operating temperature rating provides a significant thermal margin compared to standard 90°C rated cables, allowing for higher current density and more compact installations.
Primary Application Sectors
Underground and surface mining equipment power distribution where LSZH properties are critical for personnel evacuation safety.
Heavy machinery, motor connections, and power distribution in high-temperature industrial environments.
Shipboard installations, offshore platforms, and port equipment requiring superior fire safety performance.
High-rise structures, public venues, and critical infrastructure where evacuation safety is paramount.
“Mining environments present some of the harshest conditions imaginable for electrical infrastructure. From the crushing weight of heavy machinery dragging cables across rocky terrain to the corrosive effects of chemical-laden water, cables must withstand extreme mechanical and chemical stresses while maintaining electrical integrity.”
Technical Characteristics
Material Composition and Construction
The ENVIROLEX® 110OC utilizes advanced material technology throughout its construction hierarchy:
- Conductor: Class 5 flexible stranded annealed copper per AS/NZS 1125, providing superior flexibility and current-carrying capacity
- Insulation: X-HF-110 halogen-free cross-linked compound rated for 110°C continuous operation with excellent dielectric properties
- Sheath: HFS-110-TP thermoplastic halogen-free compound providing mechanical protection and environmental resistance
- Fire Performance: Compliant with AS/NZS 4507 RHE for reduced hazard in fire conditions
LSZH vs PVC: Performance Comparison
The selection of LSZH cables over conventional PVC represents a fundamental shift in industrial safety philosophy. The comparative data below illustrates the significant performance advantages:
| Parameter | ENVIROLEX® 110OC (LSZH) | Standard PVC Cable |
|---|---|---|
| HCl Gas Emission | < 0.5% | Up to 30% |
| Smoke Density (IEC 61034) | > 60% Light Transmission | < 10% Light Transmission |
| Operating Temperature | 110°C Continuous | 70°C Standard |
| Acid Gas Emission | None | Hydrochloric Acid |
| Toxicity Index | Very Low | High (Chlorine-based) |
| Equipment Corrosion Risk | Minimal | Significant |
“The transition to halogen-free cable technology represents not merely regulatory compliance, but a fundamental shift in industrial safety philosophy. Every meter of LSZH cable installed potentially saves lives through reduced toxic emissions during critical evacuation windows.”
