In the fire statistics, electrical appliances are one of the main sources of fire. In such fires, the first ignited component is the insulation around wires and cables. The aim of this paper is to determine the impact of isoperibolic heating (in the range of 200 ? 400 В°C and with a heat gradient of 10 K in 10 min) on fire resistance of electrical cable (which was modified by a fire-retardant) using a safety calorimeter SEDEX. The individual insulation layers of the sample were pre-ground and each layer was subseq...
