Abstract:

In order to test the fire resistance of cables at the fully developed stage of fire, two test methods (method A and B) for fire resistance of cables under the temperature rise conditions of building fire were put forward from the aspects of fire conditions, judgment method, fire resistance time, and sample installation. Moreover, a test platform of cable fire resistance under the temperature rise conditions of building fire was set up. Finally, the traditional fire resistance test method and two new test methods were used to test the fire resistance of 21 cables. The results show that compared with the traditional fire resistance test method, the new test method can effectively distinguish fire resistance time of cables. The new test method can test the fire resistance of 1 to 12 cables at the same time, which improves the test efficiency. The fire resistance time of 9 cables in two fire resistance tests are approximately the same, indicating that the new test method has good reproducibility in testing the fire resistance of cables.
