Using Combustion Toxicity Data In Cable Selection

New Image

As a result of New York State's combustion toxicity reporting requirements, combustion toxicity data are available on all cables sold in NY. To use these data in cable selection, a method is presented for converting lethal concentration (LC sub (50)) data into lethal lengths (LL sub (50)) for wire and cable. An approach to choosing safe cables is suggested which considers flame spread, smoke emissions and lethal length. A full scale validation test of this approach is proposed.
