What is the difference between XLPE & FRLS cables? Is FRLS
cables is a type of XLPE cable or both r different?
Answer Posted / rahul sharma
XLPE is an INSULATING Material while FRLS is a Property
which we seeks in Outer Sheath Part of the Cable. Hence, we
can not compare the Both.
If we are talking about Normal XLPE Cable v/s FRLS XLPE
Cable, then please NOTE that the FRLS XLPE Cables are used
in the Fire Prone Area like Hospitals, Electrical Shops,
Fire Crackeer's Shop.
FRLS Properties:
1. Oxygen index: 29 min, when tested as per ASTM D 2863.
2. Temp. Index: 250°C min,when tested as per ASTM D 2863.
3. Smoke density rating:60% Max,when tested as per ASTM D
2843.
4. Acid Gas generation: Maximum 20% by weight, when tested
as per IEC 60754-1.
5. Flame retardant test as per IEC 60332-3 Cat C will pass.
Above are the properties for FRLS Cables.
