Fireproof 3C for cable tray type

Fireproof 3C cables for cable trays are typically constructed with flame-retardant insulation and jackets, meeting UL 1277, IEEE 383, or IEC 60332 standards to ensure circuit integrity during fire exposure.Cable Construction and Types

3C tray cables (three-conductor) are commonly used in control, power, and instrumentation applications. A typical example is the XLP/PVC 10-3C cable, which features:

  • Conductors: Stranded bare copper
  • Insulation: Flame-retardant XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene)
  • Jacket: Oil- and moisture-resistant PVC
  • Temperature range: -40°C to +90°C
  • Voltage rating: 600V
  • Applications: Exposed runs, Class 1 Division 2 hazardous locations, control circuits, telemetering, and power lighting Other tray cables, such as those from Prysmian, meet UL 1277, IEEE 383, and ICEA vertical tray flame tests, ensuring fire resistance in vertical tray installations and compliance with NEC Article 318 .
Fireproofing and Circuit Integrity

For enhanced fire protection, especially in critical facilities like petrochemical plants, FyreWrap® Cable Insulation can be applied around cable trays:

  • Core material: Insulfrax® high-temperature, noncombustible insulation
  • Encapsulation: Aluminum foil with fiberglass-reinforced scrim for moisture and tear resistance
  • Performance: Maintains circuit integrity during hydrocarbon fires, FM Global approved, meets ASTM E-1725 and E-1529 standards For retrofitting existing cable trays, devices like the EZ Path® Cable Tray Retrofit Device provide a fast, code-compliant solution to restore firestopping performance without removing cables, suitable for trays with up to 100% visual fill .
Standards and Testing

Fireproof 3C cables are evaluated under international and national standards:

  • UL 1277: Vertical tray flame test for power and control cables
  • IEEE 383: Fire endurance for electrical cables in nuclear and industrial applications
  • IEC 60332: Flame propagation tests for single and bunched cables, including categories C and D for vertical tray installations These standards ensure that cables resist flame spread, limit smoke and heat release, and maintain electrical continuity during fire events.
Summary

When selecting fireproof 3C cables for cable trays, consider:

  1. Insulation and jacket materials: XLPE/PVC or other flame-retardant compounds
  2. Compliance with fire standards: UL 1277, IEEE 383, IEC 60332
  3. Application environment: Hazardous locations, temperature range, and chemical exposure
  4. Fireproofing solutions: FyreWrap or retrofit devices for critical installations Using these cables and fireproofing systems ensures circuit integrity, safety, and regulatory compliance in industrial and commercial cable tray installations.
