Gives requirements for the flame retardant composite cross-linked elastomeric insulating compounds.

This section of BS 7655 specifies the requirements for the flame retardant composite cross-linked elastomeric insulating compound listed in Table 1. The relevant test methods are given in BS EN 60811 and BS 6469. These compounds are for use on coil end leads conforming to BS 6195, but may be used for other suitable applications as detailed in the cable specification. This section is to be read in conjunction with BS 7655-0, which contains essential provisions for the application of this section of BS 7655. Table 1 – Type of flame retardant cross-linked insulation Type Maximum material operating temperature °C General application FR 1 85 Flame retardant composite for type 4 cable conforming to BS 61951) FR 2 85 Flame retardant composite for type 4 cable conforming to BS 61951) 1) The voltage designation of the cable will have a bearing on the type of compound selected for a particular application.
