FRLS Sheathed Cables
Yeshwant Wires is a leading FRLS (Fire Retardant Low Smoke) Sheathed Cables manufacturer in India, offering high-performance cables designed to maintain circuit integrity during fire incidents while minimizing smoke and toxic gas emissions. Our cables are manufactured using premium-grade electrolytic copper conductors with specialized FRLS insulation and sheathing materials, ensuring both safety and reliability.
Available in single-core and multi-core configurations with XLPE, PVC, or specialized FRLS insulation, these cables deliver exceptional flame retardancy, low smoke emission, reduced toxicity, and long service life. They comply with IS, IEC, and BS standards and are ideal for fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, evacuation systems, and critical power networks.
Description
FRLS Sheathed Cables are specialized electrical cables designed with fire-retardant and low-smoke properties to enhance safety during fire emergencies. These cables prevent flame propagation, minimize smoke generation, and reduce toxic gas emissions, protecting both lives and critical equipment in high-risk environments.
These cables are extensively used in fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, evacuation circuits, hospitals, airports, public buildings, and industrial facilities where safety, reliability, and compliance with fire safety norms are paramount for operational excellence and occupant protection.
Key Features & Advantages
- Fire Retardant: Prevents flame propagation and maintains circuit integrity during fire emergencies.
- Low Smoke & Toxicity: Minimizes smoke and hazardous gas emission to protect occupants and equipment.
- High Conductivity: Pure copper conductors ensure reliable electrical performance.
- Durable Insulation & Sheath: Resistant to heat, chemicals, moisture, and mechanical stress.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, power distribution, and safety circuits.
- Complies with Global Standards: IS 10810, IEC 60332, and BS 7211.
Technical Specifications
| Property | Specification | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor Material | Annealed Copper (Bare or Tinned, Solid or Stranded) | Copper provides excellent conductivity. Tinned copper is often used for corrosion resistance in various environments. |
| Voltage Grade | Up to 1.1 kV (Low Voltage) | These cables are commonly available in ratings suitable for low-voltage power and control applications (e.g., house wiring, industrial control). |
| Operating Temperature | -15°C to +70°C (Standard PVC insulation) or +90°C (XLPE insulation) | The temperature range over which the cable maintains its integrity. The rating is common for cables with standard PVC insulation under the FRLS sheath. |
| Insulation | PVC / XLPE / HR PVC (often coloured for phase identification) | The insulation provides dielectric strength. While the sheath is FRLS, the core insulation can be standard PVC, High-Resistance PVC (HR PVC), or XLPE. |
| Sheath Material | FRLS Compound (Flame Retardant Low Smoke) | Defining Feature. The sheath material inhibits fire propagation along the cable and significantly reduces the amount of smoke emitted during a fire, aiding safe evacuation. |
| Armouring/Shielding | Optional (Can be armoured with GSW or Shielded with Mylar/Braid, depending on application) | As a sheathing material, FRLS can be applied to many cable constructions (power, control, instrumentation). These features are added based on the core application's mechanical and noise requirements. |
| Fire Performance | Low Smoke Density & Reduced Flammability | Specifically tested to standards like IEC 60332-3 (fire spread) and IEC 61034-2 (smoke density) to prove its fire-safe characteristics. |
| Application | Residential & Commercial Wiring, Schools, Hospitals, Metros, and areas where smoke reduction is mandated. | Used wherever the safety risk from dense smoke obstructing emergency exit routes is a primary concern. |
Applications
FRLS Sheathed Cables are widely used in fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, evacuation circuits, hospitals, airports, public buildings, and industrial facilities. Their flame retardant and low smoke properties ensure safe operation during emergencies, protecting both lives and critical equipment in installations where fire safety and regulatory compliance are essential.
Manufacturing & Quality Assurance
At Yeshwant Wires, every FRLS sheathed cable is produced using advanced copper stranding, extrusion, and sheathing processes for precision and reliability. Cables undergo stringent testing for electrical conductivity, insulation resistance, flame retardancy, low smoke emission, mechanical strength, and thermal stability under ISO certified quality systems.
