Silicone multicore flexible cable,

halogen-free.

SiHF
Application:

Silicone cables were evolved for use wherever insulation is subjected to extreme temperature changes. They are
heat-resistant for permanent temperature up to +180C, for short time operation up to 220C. The good performance of
the environmental resistant properties means that silicone can be used at temperatures down to -60C.
Silicone cables are halogen-free cables and are espacially suited for installation in power stations. They have also found
their uses in the steel producing industries, aviation industry, ship building as well as in ceramic, glass and cement
factories. Due to elastical characterics of core insulations, these are used as flexible connection cable.
Technical data:

higher heat-resistant range adapted to
DIN VDE 0250 part 1 and part 816.
Temperature range -60C to + 180C.
(up to +220C for short time.)
Temperature limit of the conductor in
operation +180C.
Nominal voltage U/U 300/500 V
Test voltage 2000 V
Breakdown voltage min. 5000 V
Insulation resistance min. 200 MOhm x km
Power rating at ambient temperature up to
145C to DIN VDE 0100.

Minimun bending radius 7,5 x cable

Radiation resistance up to 20x106 cJ/kg
(up to 20 Mrad)
Corrosiveness of combustion gasses
(freedom of halogen)
test method to DIN VDE 0472 part 813 and
IEC 60754-2
Behaviour in fire
No flame propagation.
Test method B to DIN VDE 0472 part 804
and IEC 60332.

Cable structure:
Tinned copper conductor to DIN VDE 0295 cl.5.
Silicone core insulation
Core indentification to DIN VDE 0293
Colour coded or black cores with numbers.
For 2 cores brown, blue.
Cores stranded in layers with optimal lay-length.
Green-Yellow earth core
(3 cores and above)
Outer jacket of silicone.
Jacket colour preferably brown.
Advantages:
Hardly changes of dielectric strength and the
insulation resistance also at high temperatures.
High ignition of flash point.
In case of fire, forms an insulation layer of SiO2
Resistant to:
High molecular oils.
Fats from vegetables and animals.
Alcohols.
Plasticizers and clophenes.
Diluted acids.
Lyes and salt dissolution.
Oxidation substances.
Tropical influences and weather.
Lake water.
Oxygen and UV.

Note:
For laying as a fixed installation only in open or ventilated pipe systems as well as in ducts. Otherwise the mechanical
properties of the silicon are reduced by the enclosed air at temperatures exceeding 90C.
