INTRODUCTION
MARINE CABLES
In this catalogue General Cable presents its series of shipboard power, control and instrumentation cables for fixed installations
on vessels.
The safety of people and equipment is a priority consideration in the design and construction of Exzhellent® and Genfire® cables.
They are made from halogen free compounds with a low-acidity, low-corrosive gases and low opacity of fumes evolved during
combustion, in accordance with the corresponding IEC standards. They therefore allow for a quick and safe evacuation in the
event of fire.
The cables are designed to comply with the strictest non-fire propagation standards and prevent the generation of secondary
sources of fire even in circumstances of high cable concentration in unfavourable conditions.
Genfire® cables are fire resistant designs that feature not only the above properties, but are also capable to continue providing
service even when directly affected by fire. Their use in safety services enables the systems to continue working even in situations
of fire.
Reinforced cables feature copper braiding that provides good mechanical protection and may also be used in specific applications
such as shielding.
Exzhellent® and Genfire® cables may be used in extreme climates, principally because of their resistance to very low temperatures.
This catalogue also includes specific designs for energy cables used in circuits with variable frequency drives (VFD).

(*) Two pair cable is a star-quad composition, cores are diametrically opposed to make the pairs.
INSULATION MATERIALS
Insulation materials are specified to standard IEC 60092-360. The ones used in the current catalogue are:
XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene). Cross-linked compound without heat distortion and with excellent electrical and mechanical
properties.
EPR (ethylene propylene rubber). A cross-linked elastomer, it has almost no distortion due to the action of heat. It provides
greater flexibility to the cable. Especially suitable if the sheath has to be a cross-linked compound.
HEPR (hard grade ethylene propylene rubber). Improved EPR compound bringing better performance both in mechanical and
electrical properties. This material provides insulation thicknesses equivalent to the XLPE ones.
9
SHEATHING MATERIALS
The sheath of the cables protects the set of cores from the mechanical or environmental aggressions they may withstand.
Mechanical aggressions are mainly abrasions from the dragging of the cables and tears at angles of the tubes and occur during
the installation, while the environment aggressions (heat, presence of oils or aggressive agents) will affect the cable throughout
its working life.
ARMOURING
The armour performs a dual function as it behaves as armour but also as a screen, when necessary and possible.
Type Materials
Tin plated braid for greater protection of connections against oxidation or corrosion may be offered on request.
10
SCREENING
In low voltage cables, the screens are the elements which provide the cable protection against electromagnetic fields. This
is an element especially suitable for cables for instrumentation, control and transmission of signals due to their sensitivity
to radiation which can distort the signal transmitted by the cable. To protect the cable from electromagnetic perturbations
it is necessary to screen the group of conductors (protection from external disturbance) or each one of the pairs or triples
(electromagnetic fields from other elements of the same cable).
According to the standard, screens can be either braid or laminated polyester tape.
In all designs of 2, 3 and 4 cores, the screen cross-section has been defined according to the criteria set in standard IEC 60092-
352 Table 2, so it can be used as an earthing conductor.
In armoured cables, the use of copper wire braid armour, when properly earthed, allows to use it as a overall screen.
Type Materials
TAPE Cu or Al / Polyester
Tin plated braid for greater protection of connections against oxidation or corrosion may be offered on request.
When General Cable products are installed in accordance with IEC 60533, they fulfil the requirements for Electro-Magnetic
Compatibility.
11
FIRE PERFORMANCE OF CABLES
All cables or insulated wiring shall meet the requirements for flame spread as given in: IEC 60332-1-2 and IEC 60332-3-22.
NOTE: It cannot be assumed that, because a cable or an insulated wire meets the requirements of IEC 60332-1, a bunch
of similar cables or insulated wires will behave in a similar manner. The flame spread performance of bunched cables is
assessed by the requirements of IEC 60332-3-22. This performance requirement (i.e. for cables mounted vertically in a touching
formation) has been chosen to best reflect the installation conditions generally observed on board ships. Experience has shown
that the test for the flame spread of cables installed vertically is adequate for horizontal installations, all other parameters
being generally the same.
For systems required to maintain electrical circuit integrity under fire conditions, e.g. for fire alarm, fire detection, fire
extinguishing services, remote stopping and similar control circuits, the cables shall meet the requirements of IEC 60331-21.
Requirements for smoke emission and acid gas evolution shall be considered, and where applicable the cables evaluated in
accordance with the following test methods, cables shall meet the requirements specified in the individual product standard:
IEC 61034-2Part 2; IEC 60754-1Part 1 and IEC 60754-2 Part 2.
A 1 kW flame in contact with the cable sheath for a time established in the standard
should not spread. The cable will prevent a fire caused by a minor incident or by
an external heat source with which it comes into accidental contact.
An already developed fire may affect a wiring system and become more serious
if the system is oriented vertically, thus allowing the circulation of air and the
creation of a chimney effect. When the decomposition temperature of the organic
materials is reached, exothermic combustion of these materials occurs and the
fire spreads. The compounds used in Exzhellent® and Genfire® cable sheaths
are designed to hinder exothermic reaction. To simulate this situation, the test
involves the application of powered air and a 20-kW gas burner to a bundle of
cables vertically arranged. In these conditions, the burner directly burns the
cables during 40 minutes. After extinguishing the burner and the cables stop
burning, the burnt length of the cable must not exceed 2.5 metres. The prescribed
standard applicable in the ship industry is IEC 60332, part. 3-22, cat A. Category A
prescribes the maximum volume of inflammable material (seven litres per metre).
12
FIRE RESISTANCE (IEC 60331)
IEC 60331 defines the test conditions applied to a cable that must remain in service in safety circuits even when directly
affected by a fire and when its organic materials are decomposing.
In the test, the cable is subject to the action of a burner at a minimum flame temperature of 830 ºC for a period of 90 minutes,
during and at the end of which the cable must keep the circuit integrity.
Cables subject to fire, depending on the materials of which they are made, may release gases that are toxic for people’s
health. Their corrosivity may also hinder the proper operation and preservation of the electronic and IT components in the
vicinity. Opaque smoke that prevents a view of the escape routes from the affected sites may also develop.
To minimise these effects, General Cable has developed the Exzhellent® series cables that eliminate harmful emissions of
halogenated and toxic gases (IEC 60754-1 and 60754-2), substantially reduce opaque smoke and thus facilitate the evacuation
of people (IEC 61034-2).

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
CABLE DESIGNATION
Cable designation is based in the letter code described in the tables below:
Additional
Materials Insulation Inner covering Armour / Shield Outer Sheath
characteristics
Mica tape -M
The cable designation also includes the number and size of cores (NxS), substituting the symbol “x” by the symbol “G” when an
earth core is included. In two, three or four core cables armoured power, the NxS/E terminology is used to illustrate the cables
in which the copper wire braid armour can be employed as the earth conductor. In this case, the cross sectional area of the braid
(E) is equal or greater than 50 % of the phase conductors cross-section.
16
CURRENT RATINGS
General Cable recommends ratings according to Table A.4 of IEC 60092-352, based on conductor temperature of 90 ºC and
ambient temperature of 45 ºC. As an alternative, it is possible to use the current ratings included in standard IEC 61892-4 or in the
regulations of classification societies.
The procedure for cable selection employs rating factors to adjust the current carrying capacities for different ambient temperatures,
for the mutual heating effects of grouping with other cables, methods of installation and short circuit time duty. Guidance on the
use of these methods are given in IEC 60092-352.
These carrying current capacities in continuous service must be adjusted for ambient temperature other than 45 ºC according the
following table:

MINIMUM BENDING RADIUS (IEC 60092-352)
R: minimum bending radius; a lower radius does not guarantee cable integrity as it may have suffered potential damage that
shortens its useful life.
The minimum handling & installation temperature for all type of cables (Low Voltage and Medium Voltage) is -15 ºC. General
Cable recommends a minimum cable temperature of 0 ºC for an easier and safer handling & installation.
Prior to performing the installation, if the cables have been stored outdoors at temperatures below 0 ºC, the cables should be
tempered indoors for a minimum of 24 hours at a temperature equal or above 0 ºC, in order to assure that the inner layers of the
cable are not below 0 ºC.
The internal bending radius for the installation of cables shall be as recommended to the type of cable chosen and shall not be
less than the values given in the following table:
