FRLS House Wires (Flame Retardant Low Smoke) are a type of electrical wiring specifically designed for residential and commercial buildings. These wires are insulated with a special compound that makes them flame retardant, meaning they can resist catching fire or help limit the spread of fire. In addition, the Low Smoke aspect ensures that, in case of a fire, the wires emit minimal smoke and toxic fumes, making them safer for enclosed environments.
Key Features:
Conductor Material: Typically made from high-quality copper, which offers excellent electrical conductivity, durability, and flexibility.
Insulation Material: The insulation is made of Flame Retardant Low Smoke (FRLS) PVC compound, which helps in reducing the risk of fire and smoke generation. This insulation also offers resistance to heat and chemicals.
Flame Retardant: Designed to resist ignition and limit the spread of fire, reducing the chances of fire propagation in case of electrical faults.
Low Smoke Emission: In case of a fire, FRLS wires produce less smoke and release fewer toxic gases, improving visibility and reducing health risks for people trying to evacuate the building.
Temperature Resistance: Typically rated to withstand temperatures ranging from -15°C to +85°C, ensuring performance in both normal and slightly high-temperature environments.
Voltage Rating: Usually rated for 300/500V or 450/750V, suitable for most household and small commercial electrical applications.
