Insulating properties after flaming

The ÖLFLEX® HEAT 180 SiHF 16G1,5 cable from Lapp is a heat-resistant silicone cable designed for use in industrial applications with high thermal loads. It features an operating temperature range of -60 °C to +180 °C, making it suitable for environments where high temperatures occur, such as in machine and plant engineering. The cable is flexible and intended for fixed installation as well as occasional movement without tensile stress. It is universally suitable for wiring internal machine and plant control circuits, particularly in dry and damp rooms.

Applications

The cable is resistant to many oils, plant and animal fats, and exhibits a wide range of chemical resistance. It is therefore particularly suitable for applications in the food industry, chemical industry, or automotive manufacturing, where high temperatures and aggressive environmental conditions prevail. The flexible construction allows use in limited space, making it especially advantageous for compact machine design concepts.

Functions and Features in Detail

The cable consists of a halogen-free conductor insulation and outer sheath compound, classified according to DIN EN IEC 60754-1. This ensures low generation of toxic gases in case of fire. The insulation and outer sheath are made of a silicone compound that retains insulating properties even after flaming in a stationary state. Conductor identification is done by numbers, enabling easy assignment and wiring.

Technical Explanation

The silicone insulation allows an operating temperature up to +180 °C, although sufficient ventilation is required, as silicone cables may prematurely lose their mechanical properties above +100 °C in the absence of oxygen. The cable is rated for an operating voltage of 300/500 V, providing sufficient electrical insulation for many industrial applications. The flexible structure ensures easy handling and installation, especially in tight construction gaps.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is universally applicable and can be integrated into various industrial systems. It is designed for use in control circuits and is suitable for connecting sensors, actuators, and control devices. Compatibility with standard terminals and connectors is ensured, as the cable meets standard electrical and mechanical requirements.

Installation and Mounting

The cable is intended for fixed installation and can be moved occasionally, provided no tensile stress occurs. The flexible structure facilitates installation, especially in narrow or complex geometries. Sufficient ventilation is required at high temperatures to ensure the cable's service life.

Operational Advantages

The high heat resistance up to +180 °C, chemical resistance, and halogen-free composition of the insulation make the cable a reliable solution for demanding industrial environments. The low corrosivity of gases in case of fire (according to DIN EN IEC 60754-2) increases safety during use. The flexible construction and easy wiring via numbered conductors support efficient installation and maintenance.

The cable is classified according to EU Directive 305/2011 (BauPVO/CPR), with exact article number selection available on the LAPP website. Information on fire behaviour classification is part of the product documentation and complies with applicable standards.

Protection Rating

Use in dry and damp rooms is explicitly stated, indicating a certain degree of moisture resistance, although no specific protection class is implied.

Operating Voltage

The cable is rated for an operating voltage of 300/500 V, which is sufficient for many industrial control and signal applications. The insulation ensures safe electrical separation of the conductors.
