Recently, many friends have left messages in the background, asking JZD cable company whether it is necessary to use flame retardant wire for home improvement wires? Today, Xiaobian will take everyone to learn about the relevant knowledge of flame retardant wire.


1. What is a flame retardant PVC wire


Flame retardant cable refers to the cable in which the sample is burned under the specified test conditions, and the flame spread is only within a limited range after the test fire source is removed, and the residual flame or residual burn can be extinguished within a limited time.

The fundamental characteristics are: in the event of fire, it may be burned out and cannot operate, but it can prevent the spread of fire. In layman's terms, in the event of a fire on the wire, it can limit the combustion to a local range, protect other various equipment, and avoid causing greater losses.


2. The difference between flame retardant PVC wire and ordinary  PVC wire


The difference between ordinary insulated wires and flame retardant wires is that flame retardant wires have passed the flame retardant test or certification while ordinary cables have not. Most ordinary insulated wires and flame retardant wires are not much different in appearance, but domestic flame retardant wires will be in the The word ZR is added to the printed content. If the ordinary wire and the flame-retardant wire are connected in series, and the current is increased at the same time, we can clearly see that the ordinary wire produces a lot of smoke and has a pungent odor, while the flame-retardant wire is not damaged.”


3. Is it necessary to use flame retardant wire in home decoration?

In recent years, in the global power system fire accidents, the disasters caused by the power supply interruption of the power system have occurred frequently and are on the rise. Therefore, it is increasingly important for us to use flame-retardant wires to prevent the spread of fire during home decoration.


Fire-retardant wires should still be used for home improvement. Compared with ordinary wires, fire-retardant wires can minimize the loss of the home when they accidentally catch fire. When buying fire-retardant wires externally, you must look for ZR wires. The cable with the word mark, don't believe in Sanwu products, the wire is a hidden project. If it is not handled well in the early stage, there will be a lot of troubles waiting for it.
