It cannot be assumed that, because a cable or wire meets the

24、requirements of parts 1 and 2, a vertical bunch of similar cables or wires will behave in asimilar manner. This is because flame spread along a vertical bunch of cables depends on anumber of features, such asa) the volume of combustible material exposed to the fire and to any flame which may beprodu

25、ced by the combustion of the cables;b) the geometrical configuration of the cables and their relationship to an enclosure;c) the temperature at which it is possible to ignite the gases emitted from the cables;d) the quantity of combustible gas released from the cables for a given temperature rise;e)

26、 the volume of air passing through the cable installation;f) the construction of the cable, for example armoured or unarmoured, multi- or single-core.All of the foregoing assume that the cables are able to be ignited when involved in an externalfire.Part 3 of IEC 60332 gives details of a test where

27、a number of cables are bunched together toform various test sample installations. For easier use and differentiation of the various testcategories, the parts are designated as follows:Part 3-10: ApparatusPart 3-21: Category A F/RPart 3-22: Category APart 3-23: Category BPart 3-24: Category CPart 3-2

28、5: Category DParts from 3-21 onwards define the various categories and the relevant procedures. Thecategories are distinguished by test duration, the volume of non-metallic material of the testsample and the method of mounting the sample for the test. In all categories, cables having atleast one con

29、ductor of cross-sectional area greater than 35 mm are tested in a spacedconfiguration, whereas cables of conductor cross-sectional area of 35 mm or smaller andoptical cables are tested in a touching configuration.The categories are not necessarily related to different safety levels in actual cable i

30、nstallations.The actual installed configuration of the cables may be a major determinant in the level offlame spread occurring in an actual fire.The method of mounting described as category A F/R (part 3-21) is intended for special cabledesigns used in particular installations.Categories A, B, C and

31、 D (parts 3-22 to 3-25 respectively) are for general use where differentnon-metallic volumes are applicable.Text deleted BS EN 60332-3-21:2009EN 60332-3-21:2009 (E) 6 TESTS ON ELECTRIC AND OPTICAL FIBRE CABLES UNDERFIRECONDITIONS Part 3-21: Test for vertical flame spread of vertically-mountedbunched

32、 wires or cables Category A F/R1 ScopeThe series of International Standards covered by Parts 3-10, 3-21, 3-22, 3-23, 3-24 and 3-25 ofIEC 60332 specifies methods of test for the assessment of vertical flame spread of vertically-mounted bunched wires or cables, electrical or optical, under defined con

33、ditions.NOTE For the purpose of this standard the term “electric wire or cable“ covers all insulated metallic conductorcables used for the conveyance of energy or signals.The test is intended for type approval testing. The requirements for the selection of cables fortesting are given in annex A. The

34、 flame spread is measured as the extent of damage of thecable sample. This procedure may be used to demonstrate the cables ability to limit flamespread.This part of IEC 60332 covers category A F/R and relates only to power cables of conductorcross-sectional area greater than 35 mm installed on the t

35、est ladder in a spaced configurationon the front and rear to achieve a nominal total volume of non-metallic material of 7 l/m of testsample. The flame application time is 40 min. This method of mounting is intended for specialcable designs used in particular installations when required in the cable

The definitions aretaken from IEC 60695-4.3.1ignition sourcesource

42、e propane gas burner as specified in IEC 60332-3-10.5 Test procedure5.1 Test sampleThe test sample shall comprise a number of test pieces of cable from the same productionlength, each having a minimum length of 3,5 m.The total number of test pieces in the test sample shall be that number required to

43、 provide anominal total volume of non-metallic material of 7 l/m of test sample.The test sample shall be chosen within the limitations given in annex A.The test pieces forming the test sample shall be conditioned at a temperature of (20 10) Cfor at least 16 h before commencing the test. The test pie

44、ces shall be dry.5.2 Determination of the number of test piecesIn order to calculate the appropriate number of test pieces, it is necessary to determine thevolume per metre of non-metallic material of one test piece. 8 BS EN 60332-3-21:2009EN 60332-3-21:2009 (E)A length of cable which shall be not l

45、ess than 0,3 m long is carefully cut to ensure that thesurfaces are at right angles to the cable axis, thus enabling precise measurements of itslength.The density of each non-metallic component (including cellular material) shall be measured inan appropriate way, for example clause 8 of IEC 60811-1-

46、3, in order to obtain valuesexpressed to the second decimal place.Each non-metallic material Cishall be removed from the test piece and weighed. Any non-metallic material making up less than 5 % of the total non-metallic mass of the test piece shallbe assumed to have a density of 1,0 kg/dm.Where sem

47、i-conducting screens cannot be removed from the insulating material, thecomponents may be considered as one for the purpose of measuring their mass and density.The volume Vi(litres per metre of cable) of each non-metallic material Ciis calculated asfollows:lMV=iiiwhereMiis the mass of the component

48、Ci(kg);iis the density of the component Ci(kg/dm);l is the length of the test piece of cable (m).The total volume, V, of the non-metallic materials contained in 1 m of cable is equal to the sumof the individual volumes V1, V2, etc.The closest integer (0,5 and above corresponding to 1) of the number

49、of test pieces to bemounted is obtained by dividing the volume per metre, specified in 5.1, by the total volume, V,of non-metallic material per metre of cable.5.3 Mounting of the test sampleEach test piece shall be attached individually to each rung of the ladder by means of metal wire(steel or copper). For cables up to and including 50 mm diameter use wire between 0,5 mmand 1,0 mm in diameter. For cables above 50 mm diameter use wire between 1,0 mm and1,5 mm in diameter.The st
