Electrical installations: understand the reaction and fire resistance of cables

This article outlines the two key fire-safety performances of electrical cables: reaction to fire, describing how a cable behaves when exposed to flames, and fire resistance, ensuring electrical continuity of safety systems under extreme temperatures.

It explains how fires develop, why smoke is the main hazard, and the role of LFH (Low Fire Hazard) cables in limiting fire growth. You will also learn how to identify high-performance cables using the Euroclasses defined by the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). The article further details fire-resistant cables, their applications (FAS, CMSI, emergency lighting…), their technical specificities, and their critical importance in buildings such as ERP and high-rise structures.
