What is Prysmian FP100?
 

Prysmian FP100 is a fire-resistant low voltage, 450/750 V, 1.5mm2 - 70mm2, single core cable, for use in steel conduit, and meets the requirements of product specification BS 8592 and fire test IEC 60331-3.

Why do I need Prysmian FP100? 

 

When steel conduit systems are the only option available to distribute power or control signals to emergency circuits then Prysmian FP100 is the ideal choice. FP100 has a tough composite insulation which requires no armouring or outer sheath to achieve its fire performance when installed in steel conduit.

Fire-fighting shaft normal lighting and monitoring systems. 

 

Fire-fighting shafts typically feature a stairwell and lobby which require lighting and monitoring systems. They are areas used by fire-fighters as part of the fire strategy and fire engineered solution for the building. These applications "Fire-fighting shaft normal lighting” and “fire-fighting shaft monitoring systems” both require Category 3 control cables in accordance with BS 8519:2020 section 5, Table 1, “Recommended cable categories based on application”.  

Prysmian FP100 installed steel conduit is ideal for this application. 

Emergency Lighting 

 

Prysmian FP100 forms a key part of a steel conduit wiring system for BS 5266-1 compliant emergency lighting systems. Cables of this type are required to conform with BS 8592.  

Prysmian FP100 Installation 

Prysmian FP100 must be installed in steel conduit to ensure circuit integrity in the event of fire; note other installation methods, such as metal trunking, may be unsuitable. 

IEC 60331-3

IEC 60331-3 is the test for circuit integrity in the event of fire for single core cables with voltage rating 0.6/1kV in a metal enclosure and the test required by BS 5266-1 for emergency lighting wiring systems.  

Ideal for rewiring existing steel conduit for upgrade to a fire resistant system.

Robust insulation prevents damage during installation and termination.

1.5 mm² - 6 mm² sizes fire tested to BS 8519:2020 Annex D (Manufacturer’s test reports available upon request)

Low smoke, zero halogen and reduced flame propagation helps to protect life and property.

Available in a range of colours for ease of circuit design and identification.

Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management systems in the UK for reliable, consistent excellence.
