FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What advantages does RE-2X(st)H offer over RE-2Y(st)Y?
RE-2X(st)H upgrades two critical materials: it replaces thermoplastic PE (2Y, +70 °C) with thermoset cross-linked polyethylene (2X / XLPE, +90 °C continuous and +250 °C short-circuit), and replaces PVC (Y) with a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (H / LSZH) outer sheath that emits no corrosive hydrochloric acid gas or dense black smoke during a fire.
Why is LSZH mandatory in DCS marshalling rooms and control buildings?
Even a small electrical fire involving PVC cables releases hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas, which condenses with moisture into hydrochloric acid on DCS I/O cards, server backplanes, and safety PLC terminals, destroying millions of dollars in electronics. RE-2X(st)H satisfies IEC 60754-2 (pH ≥ 4.3, conductivity ≤ 10 µS/mm) to protect sensitive control rooms.
Does XLPE (2X) change the capacitance or L/R ratio compared with PE (2Y)?
No. Cross-linked polyethylene has virtually the same dielectric constant (εr ≈ 2.3) as thermoplastic polyethylene, so RE-2X(st)H maintains the exact same ≤ 100 nF/km (OS) / ≤ 115 nF/km (PiMF) capacitance and ≤ 25 / 40 µH/Ω L/R limits required for Ex-i intrinsic safety.
How should the screen and drain wire of RE-2X(st)H be earthed in instrumentation and Ex-i loops?
To prevent circulating 50/60 Hz ground-loop currents from coupling into millivolt or 4–20 mA signals, the Al/PET screen and tinned copper drain wire of RE-2X(st)H should be bonded to the clean instrumentation earth bar at one end only (typically in the control/marshalling cabinet) and insulated against chassis contact at the field transmitter or junction box, in accordance with IEC 60079-14 and EN 50288-7.
