Problem:
Cables located in the vicinity of cable joints are at an
increased risk of catching fire. Cables running throughout the
plant serve as a pathway for fire spread.
SRE Solution:
Cable Wrap Protection prevents
further fire damage by protecting adjacent cables. Wraps may
be removed for any necessary cable updates. This standard is
used to apply a protective wrap to power cable joints and power
cables in the vicinity of joints. The intent of this procedure is
to reduce the effects of an arc blast upon power distribution cables
and to reduce the spread of fire after a “flash” event. The EP3990
wrap material is not designed to contain an arc blast. The intent of
the wrap is to mitigate the impact of flame, hot gasses and molten
materials upon surrounding power cables.
 
SRE
Advantages:
- Ability
to remove fire wraps to update joints and re-route cables.
- Before
and after matrix aid in proper system selection. Also provides
visual to compare completed work insuring correct installation.
- Design
drawings are assembled allowing each step of the process is able
to be understood by a novice installer. Following each step in
sequence insures a fire protection installation that will
function in a fire/smoke event.
- Ability
for corrective maintenance to be performed 10, 20, even 30 years
from now
- System
designs are installed by SRE’s trained and certified installers.
- Ability
to install while the unit is live.
- Resists
flames up to 1900ºF
- Emit
extremely low levels of smoke/toxic gas when subjected to fire
- Flexible
yet durable material
- Joints
closely located to each other may be wrapped as a group, or
individually wrapped.
