FR/FRLS/ZHFR BUILDING WIRES SAY NO TO FLAMES
Wires play an integral role in the electrical infrastructure of any household as they are in charge of transmitting electrical power or signals from one location to another. Selecting the suitable wire is of utmost importance because it has significant safety implications, and high-quality wires can mitigate the likelihood of accidents during a fire outbreak.
Nevertheless, numerous types of wires are available in the market driven by environmental issues, health, and safety concerns to safeguard homes.
FR Wires:-
Flame Retardant (FR) wires are specifically engineered to impede or slow down the spread of fire in case of a short circuit or any other electrical malfunction. The ‘Oxygen Index’ is the minimum concentration of oxygen (usually 21%) required in a mixture for a material to ignite and burn. Moreover, these wires have a Temperature Index greater than 2500, allowing them to resist fires even at very high temperatures. The sole purpose of using FR wires is to reduce the risk of fire and enhance the safety of both individuals and property.
FRLSH Wires:-
Flame Retardant, Low Smoke Low Halogen (FRLS) wires are designed for use in fire hazard areas where such hazardous situations exist. More than 80% of casualties in an electrical fire are due to inhalation of fumes and the poor visibility caused by the smoke.
Green Wires:-
These wires have nothing to do with green color, but they are eco-friendly wires. The green wires are designed to provide enhanced safety features such as low smoke, non-toxic gas emissions, fire resistance, low halogen, and flame retardancy.
Wires are an essential component of electrical systems in both commercial and residential settings. Therefore, it is crucial to choose the right type of wire for each application to guarantee the safe safe efficient functioning of the electrical system. Also, to promote a sustainable environment and reduce the carbon footprint on the planet, it is increasingly main to prioritize the use of eco-friendly wires.
