  • Product Details

Technical Standards
The production and testing of these products strictly follow national and enterprise standards to ensure high compliance under rail transit operating conditions:
*   Technical Specification: Manufactured in accordance with the enterprise standard GB/T 12706.3-2020. 

Product Structure and Model Features
Based on the diverse laying environments of rail transit, the product offers multiple functional combinations:
*   Model Examples: Includes (FZ-FSY)-WD-TYJY (Low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant, anti-termite and anti-rodent, XLPE insulated, polyolefin sheathed power cable) and (FZ-FSY)-DD-TYJV, among others.
*   Multi-Dimensional Protection: The structural design balances electrical stability with physical toughness. The outer sheath material possesses excellent resistance to environmental stress cracking, effectively blocking the destruction chain of termites and rodents.
*   Production Range: Conductor cross-sections cover various specifications up to 630mm², satisfying the power supply needs of different load levels. 

Operating Characteristics & Performance Advantages
*   Rated Voltage Level: The rated voltage ($U_0/U$) of the products is 21/35kV and 26/35kV.
*   Thermal and Discharge Performance:
*   The maximum long-term allowable operating temperature of the conductor is 90°C, and the instantaneous maximum temperature during a short circuit (max. duration 5s) can reach 250°C.
*   Cables must pass 3.5 $U_0$ AC and DC voltage resistance tests to ensure the long-term reliability of the insulation structure.
*   Strict Fire and Environmental Indicators:
*   Low Smoke: The light transmittance of the halogen-free cable during combustion is not less than 60%.
*   Halogen-Free: The total content of halogen acid gas produced during combustion does not exceed 5mg/g. The PH value of the evolved gas is not less than 4.3, and the conductivity is not more than 10μS/mm, ensuring safety during fire evacuation.
*   Flexible Installation Requirements:
*   The ambient temperature for installation should be no lower than 0°C (preheating is required if below this temperature).
*   Scientific Bending Radius: For single-core cables, it is not less than 20D (unarmored) and 15D (armored); for multi-core cables, it is not less than 15D (unarmored) and 12D (armored), where D is the outer diameter of the cable. 

Core Application Scenarios
This series of cables is widely utilized in the core power systems of various rail transit projects:*   Rail Transit Main Lines: Suitable for 35kV power supply networks of subways, light rails, and urban commuter railways.
*   Underground Sections and Tunnels: With its excellent LSZH properties and biological resistance, this cable is the preferred solution for wiring in tunnels, underground platforms, and areas with restricted ventilation.
*   Complex Environmental Conditions: Provides a long-lasting physical and chemical protective barrier in areas along the track with a high risk of termite infestation or rodent damage.
