FAQ
1. Where can I find out the product I want?
Caledonian provides a broad range of offshore and marine specification cables,JIS C 3410, BS6883, BS7917, NEK606, VG 95218 part 29, IEC60092, you can find it easily click here
2. Does marine wire tolerate the same temperature in both wet and dry conditions?
While Bare Copper marine wire and Tinned Copper marine wire stand temperatures up to 105 C in marine conditions, Flat Multi-Conductor Marine Cable can stand 105 C in dry conditions and up to 75 C in wet conditions.
3. Why we choose Caledonian Offshore and Marine cables?
When there's a need for offshore cables, Caledonian has risen to the occasion with cable solutions designed, engineered, and manufactured for performance that can be relied in even the most extreme applications. For both dry and wet applications, our product offerings include water-tight and non-watertight designs and various constructions to deliver the consistent performance needed offshore. The safety problem is of primary importance on ships and for this reason we manufacture cables having extreme safety characteristics against a possible fire.Whether cables are needed for outboard or inboard use, Caledonian offers a number of solutions in various configurations and sizes that will reduce labor and installation cost, eliminate interference when placed close together, reduce weight, and more.
4. What is Fire Resistance?
In a fire, the electrical systems must be able to keep functioning for a suitable length of time.This is particularly important for safety equipments used in emergency ventilation, emergency lighting, and alarm systems, together with the power supply to transport facilities and elevators.
Fire resistance means that the cable or the cable system where the cable is installed is capable to
continue to operate even in case of fire for a specific period of time from 30 to 180 minutes.
Circuit integrity (Insulation integrity) refers to tests for the cables only. This is denoted by FE180 in some European countries such as Germany and Belgium. Functional integrity refers to tests on cables and systems (ladders, cable tray, clamps etc). It is denoted by E30, E60, E90 indicating the cable resistance for 30, 60 and 90 minutes according to a specific test and different installation systems.
The functional integrity and the circuit integrity are not related in any way as regards their content. The former is a system test and the circuit (insulation) integrity is an individual cable test. The integrated system test for functional integrity is regarded as a technical benchmark in the cable industry.
