Alsecure
The cables that have been keeping Australians safe and secure for 30 years have a new name.
Alsecure is now the name to specify for the cables youve always relied on where safety and security are critical to maintain circuit integrity for mains power, lighting, alarms, pumps and other essential services when under fire. Now, backed by the global resources of Nexans, Olex is, more than ever, your one-stop-shop for the most complete range of performance cables.
SAFETY WARNING
Cables are insulated and sheathed with stable materials which may contain certain toxic sub stances including lead. Insulation and sheathing materials should not be chewed or ingested. Should you require more detailed data regarding materials, please contact our Group Safety Manager on 03 9281 4444 or refer to our web site, www.olex.com.au Installation Cables must be installed in accordance with the requirements of Section 3 Selection and Installation of Wiring Systems in the latest issue of AS/NZS 3000 or the appropriate ruling standard in the country of installation. Cables must also be connected by a licensed electrician, as ruled in the state or country of installation. In particular your attention is drawn to Section 1.5 of the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000) Fundamental Principles. Designers and installers can be assured the products provided by Olex meet the requirements of the relevant cable standard, but must ensure appropriate selection of cables for the electrical installation conditions. Hazardous Areas Installation of wiring and fittings for hazardous areas, e.g. flammable or explosive gas, liquid, dust or solids must comply with Section 7.7 Hazardous Areas, of AS/NZS 3000, and other relevant Australian Standards for specific hazards and occupancies. Technical Note PVC 90C Thermal Rating The current carrying capacities for thermoplastic cables, including flexible cords used as fixed wiring, insulated with V-90 and V-90HT PVC compounds have been based on a conductor operating temperature of 75C (refer AS/NZS 3008.1 Table 1 Note 2).

ALSECURE ENVIROLEX CABLES

Alsecure Envirolex cables are an extensive range of enhanced performance cables for the construction industry engineered to dramatically reduce environmental impact, particularly under fire conditions, while retaining the excellent mechanical and electrical properties designed into Olex cables. Olex uses a variety of inorganically filled polyolefin based materials to engineer the cables in the Alsecure Envirolex range to meet a wide variety of end uses and performance requirements.
Advantages of Alsecure Envirolex cables

Conductor range up to 630mm2 Cable types from building wires to SWA, to multicore control 90C rated for superior thermal performance Improved performance under fire conditions:
Flame retardant/self-extinguishing Reduced acid, gas and smoke generation Non-corrosive in fire situations Reduced toxicity of fumes during fire Halogen free (i.e. no chlorine, bromine etc.) Lead free No special termination or installation requirements Made in accordance with Australian Standards Alsecure Envirolex cables have been tested according to and comply with the requirements of the single flame tests specified in AS 1660. Alsecure Envirolex products include readily strippable cables for general construction purposes as well as the tougher products commonly found in cables with higher fire performance capability. Alsecure Envirolex materials can also be used as alternatives to all other low voltage power and control cables (refer tables on pages 8 to 25). Cables are available on request, subject to minimum production run. Information on the Alsecure Fire Performance range of cables can be found on pages 47 to 51 of this handbook.

CABLE SELECTION
The size and type of cable required for a given application should be selected according to the following criteria:
1. Current carrying capacity and voltage drop

Conductor sizes are nominated by the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000) for the wiring of socket outlets and lighting circuits in domestic and commercial buildings. For other types of installations: a) The cable must be capable of carrying the maximum continuous load of the circuit, with due regard for the insulating material and conditions of installation. b) The voltage drop from the consumers terminals to any point in the installation must not exceed 5% of the nominal system voltage. Simplified tables of current ratings and voltage drops for commonly used cables are given on pages 73 88. In large installations where current ratings are critical, attention is drawn to the comprehensive tables given in AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2009.
2. Installation conditions
Olex cables are available for aerial, underground and submarine installations as well as in conduit, on racks or trays in air. Special constructions available include: Brass or copper taped or nylon sheathed cables for resistance to termite and marine borer. Steel wire armoured for areas where there is a high risk of mechanical damage. Alsecure fire performance low smoke halogen free cables for emer gency power and lighting and other purposes in areas of high fire risk. Alsecure Ceramifiable is a world first in fire performance cable with a polymer layer that hardens into a protective shield when exposed to fire. the new high performance multipurpose cable for fixed & flexible Versolex, applications. Lead alloy sheathing as a barrier to moisture or hydrocarbons. Alsecure Envirolex cables with low smoke emission and no halogen or lead for environmentally sensitive areas. Flexolex cables for flexible applications and where flexibility provides advantages during installation.
89
CABLE SELECTION
3. Cable insulating and sheathing materials

Standard Olex cables are available in a number of materials, including: Olex PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulated and sheathed cables are the economic choice for general wiring. They are resistant to occasional contact with most oils and solvents, clean and easy to handle and coloured to assist phase identification. PVC is suitable for operating temperatures up to 90C and 90HT, subject to the requirements of AS/NZS3000. PVC is inherently resistant to ultraviolet radiation and although some colours may fade the material will not significantly degrade due to the effects of sunlight and weather, maintaining its physical integrity if not physically abused. Care should be taken where cables are subjected to extremes of temperature or contact with crude petroleum, caustic materials or aromatic solvents.
Olex synthetic rubber (EPR/CPE) insulated and sheathed cables are more flexible
and have better resistance to oils and solvents than PVC.

Olex EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber), while not oil resistant, has excellent
dielectric properties and high voltage grades are available for cables up to 33kV. In addition, EPR is halogen free and therefore does not emit toxic or corrosive by-products when burnt.
Olex CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) is an excellent flexible insulation and heavy
duty sheathing material. Although having lower insulation resistance than EPRit is suitable for low voltage cable insulation and is used as such in welding cables because of its oil resistance. For special purposes a sheath of Olex EA (Ethylene Acrylic) material can be provided subject to special order. This material is halogen free, extremely flame retardant and has better oil resistance than CPE. EPR/EA cables can safely be used inplenum air ducts and other applications where high flame retardance and freedom from acid gas emission is required. EPR, CPE and EA are all suitable for continuous operation up to 90C.
90
CABLE SELECTION
XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) has the highest dielectric properties of Olex
insulation materials, and is used in a wide range of cables from low voltage up to 275kV. It is halogen-free and also free of heavy metals such as lead and antimony. It has low smoke and toxicity when burned. It is a suitable alternative to PVC and is becoming more widely specified where there are environmental concerns. Ceramifiable An insulation material that is polymeric in its normal state, but converts to an insulating ceramic that provides circuit integrity when burned. Normal state properties are suitable for continuous operation at 110C. It is halogen-free, lead and antimony-free, and does not emit toxic or corrosive products when burned.
HFS-110-TP. Olex offers this thermoplastic, halogen and heavy metal-free sheathing
as an alternative to PVCwhen these characteristics are required. The material has reasonable oil resistance and flexibility, with a high resistance to spread of fire.
91
CABLE INSTALLATION
In all cases, cables must be installed in compliance with the safety requirements of AS/NZS3000.
Particular attention should be paid to the following:

Current carrying capacities of cables depend on the temperature of the air or
ground in which they are installed and the degree to which heat can escape. Except for a group of single core cables carrying the phase currents of a circuit, cables should be spaced to allow heat to escape. Wherever cables are installed in close proximity, especially in the ground, or enclosed in such a way as to restrict heat loss, their current carrying capacities must be reduced using a derating factor appropriate to the situation.
For minimum voltage drop single core cables carrying the phase currents of
a single circuit should be installed as closely as possible together, to minimise inductive reactance. The preferred formation for three phase conductors is a trefoil or cloverleaf pattern although flat formation may also be used. Sheaths should be in contact with one another in either case. A single core cable generates an alternating magnetic field around itself which can cause large increases in voltage drop and power loss due to transformer effect when ferrous metal (iron and steel) is allowed to encircle the cable. Steel racking or ladder will not cause trouble, but the following must be observed: Steel wire or tape armour is never used on a single core cable for AC use. Where three single phase cables pass through a steel bulkhead all must pass through the same hole. Where glanding is required it is usual to cut out a panel and replace this with a non-ferrous (metal or plastic) plate in which the three or four glands are mounted. Should plastic or non-ferrous gland plate material not be available, an alternative is to cut a slot (hacksaw blade width is adequate) between adjacent gland holes. This will provide physical and electrical isolation for the eddy current paths and stop the cable from overheating.

ote: The American Wire Gauge (AWG) was originally known as the Brown & Sharp (B&S) N Gauge and both terms are synonymous. The gauge number can apply to a single wire or to a stranded or bunched conductor. The cross-sectional areas given apply to single wire only. The larger gauges are sometimes written using a number to denote the number of zeroes, e.g. 0 gauge can be written 1/0 and 000 as 3/0.
