What governing standard and construction define EGFA ZH FR (NF M 87-202 EGFA-ZH FR Fire-Resistant Mica/LSZH Armoured Instrumentation Cable)?

EGFA ZH FR (NF M 87-202 EGFA-ZH FR Fire-Resistant Mica/LSZH Armoured Instrumentation Cable) is manufactured in accordance with NF M 87-202 / IEC 60331-21 for 500 V service over -30 °C to +90 °C. Its 8-layer construction comprises stranded bare & tinned copper conductor, mica barrier tape, xlpe core insulation, al/pet overall screen, lszh inner sheath, inner galvanized steel tape, outer galvanized steel tape, orange lszh outer sheath.

What is the minimum bending radius and installation temperature for EGFA ZH FR?

The minimum installed bending radius for EGFA ZH FR is 10 × OD across its continuous operating temperature range of -30 °C to +90 °C, ensuring mechanical and dielectric stability without conductor or insulation strain.

How are the concentric layers of EGFA ZH FR arranged from inside to outside?

From inside to outside, the construction sequence is: (01) Stranded bare & tinned copper conductor (High-conductivity bare & tinned copper conductor per NF M 87-202 / IEC 60331-21); (02) Mica barrier tape (Helically applied mica barrier tape); (03) XLPE core insulation (Extruded XLPE dielectric (individual core / group layer)); (04) Al/PET overall screen (Al/PET overall screen metallic electromagnetic screen (lapped tape)); (05) LSZH inner sheath (Extruded LSZH inner sheath protective layer (continuous layer)); (06) Inner galvanized steel tape (Inner galvanized steel tape mechanical protection (lapped tape)); (07) Outer galvanized steel tape (Outer galvanized steel tape mechanical protection (lapped tape)); (08) Orange LSZH outer sheath (Extruded Orange LSZH outer sheath protective layer (continuous layer)).

What factory test certificates are supplied with EGFA ZH FR?

Every production drum or spool of EGFA ZH FR undergoes routine conductor DC resistance, dimensional and dielectric/integrity testing per NF M 87-202 / IEC 60331-21, and is delivered with an EN 10204 3.1 factory test certificate.
