TRATOS® C-TRI-RATED – Tri Rated cable

Product Description

Manufactured in Great Britain in accordance with international standards, the flexible conductors of TRATOS® C-TRI-RATED are suitable for most applications allowing a significant reduction in installation time due to pliability and ease of handling when placing or dressing individual or bunches of wires. The robust PVC insulation used by Tratos on both types ensures outstanding flexibility and protection.

On temperature rating BS 6231 states Types CK cables, once installed, are suitable for a limited degree of movement at a minimum ambient temperature of -15 oC. They are suitable for use where the conductor temperature does not exceed the designated temperature of 90oC. (Note: However, adjacent to high-temperature zones, Tri Rated cables which are not subject to flexing or other mechanical stresses, are suitable for 15 000 h of cumulative operation at a temperature of  105oC provided that the direct contact temperature does not exceed 85oC). Rated by UL and CSA at 105oC.

In the event of a fire, PVC is self-extinguishing and does not sustain combustion being tested to BS EN 60332-1 or 2, VW-1 and FT-1.
