POLYCAB FIRE SURVIVAL CABLES – IGNIS SERIES

In today’s building & installation, electrical cables & wires have a significant role in fire safety. Generally electrical insulation and sheathing compound catch fire unless it is fire retardant or fire resistant. This results in overheating of wires & cables arching, short circuit or electrical fault. Cables contribute significantly to the spread of fire and heat emission, increased smoke emission, increased carbon monoxide level, production & release of corrosive gasses.

Polycab IGNIS fire survival cable (low smoke halogen free – LSZH) are suitable for use in various indoor & outdoor applications where continuity of power supply during the event of fire, is highly essential and corrosive gas evaluation could be a cause of hazard to the people or the precision instruments in high rise building, schools, hospitals, hotels, Malls, Subways etc. Polycab IGNIS Fire Survival Cable conforms to various IEC and BS specification. The cables are tested in leading labs and approved by many Indian public sector company and other industries.
