Safety TesterThe Triangle Safety Tester will quicklyand easily test Power Points andExtension Leads for faulty wiring.• Easy to use with in-built intelligence• Green = Safe, Orange = DangerDETECTS• Missing Earth• Reverse polarityDIRECTIONS FOR USE1. Plug the Safety Tester into a Power Point or Extension Lead.2. Switch on, and a GREEN neon should light up indicating power.3. If there is a wiring fault, then an ORANGE neon will also light up.EXPLANATION OF FAULT CONDITIONSMissing Earth (Orange neon flashing slowly)Power points and Extension leads require an Earth connection forsafe operation. However, most electrical appliances and equipmentwill still operate when plugged into a power point with a missingEarth connection. This is why it is such a dangerous fault, as there isno indication from the equipment that anything is wrong. Ifequipment is not Earthed properly and develops a loose or faultyconnection, then electrocution can result.Faulty wiring (Orange neon flickering continuously)It is surprisingly common to find power points and extension leadswired incorrectly. If the Active (Brown) and Neutral (Blue) wires arecrossed over, then once again, the equipment or appliance willappear to function properly. The danger lies in the fact that theequipment is always powered on and LIVE, regardless of whether thepower point is switched on or not. Fatalities occur because peopletinker with or repair equipment after switching the power point offfirst, believing that this makes it safe. In fact, if the wiring is faulty,then switching off the power point makes NO difference at all.TECHNICAL INFORMATIONProduct Code: TA001PApproved by The Office of the Chief Electrical Inspector - MelbourneVoltage: 250V46Triangle Flexible <strong>Cable</strong>s issue 13.1

Installation RecommendationCORRECTION FACTORS FOR CABLE CURRENT RATINGBunching of cableWhere more than six cables are bunched together andoperating at their maximum capacity, a correction factor of 0.85should be applied (assuming insufficient free air circulation).Single core cables are exempted from this requirementAmbient temperatureThe maximum current ratings in this catalogue are based on anambient temperature of 45°C. For other ambient temperatures,the correction factors shown below should be applied.Maximumconductortemperature°C* Shorepower cable onlyAmbient air temperature35°C 40°C 45°C 50°C 55°C 60°C 65°C90 1.10 1.05 1.00 0.94 0.88 0.82 0.74110* 1.04 1.00 0.96 0.93 0.89 0.85 0.81INSTALLATION<strong>Cable</strong> runs should be fixed in straight lines where practicable.The minimum bending radius for cable should be selected inaccordance with the table below.<strong>Cable</strong> <strong>Cable</strong> MinimumConstruction OD bending radius(times cable OD)Unbraided all sizes 4XUnbraided, fire resistant all sizes 8XBraided all sizes 6XBraided, fire resistant all sizes 10XNylon protected all sizes 15XThe installation of cables across expansion joints in anystructure should be avoided. Where this is not feasible,a loop of cable sufficient to accommodate the expansion ofthe joint should be provided. The internal radius of the loop isto be at least 12 times the overall diameter of the cable.<strong>Cable</strong>s should be installed away from heat sources wherepracticable. If this cannot be avoided and there is possibilityof damage to the cable, then suitable shields, insulation orother protective measures should be installed.<strong>Cable</strong>s are not to be coated or painted with materialswhich may adversely affect their sheath or fire performance.<strong>Cable</strong>s should be installed away from sources of mechanicaldamage, where practicable. If this cannot be avoided thecables should be protected with suitable metallic casing.VOLTAGE DROPWhen selecting cable size, consideration must be given tovoltage drop. Refer to formula and table below:Vd = L x I mV/Am1000Where: Vd = voltage drop in voltsL = route length of cable in metersI = current to be carried in ampsmV/Am = millivolts per ampere metre value(the drop in voltage shall not exceed 5% of supply voltage)CONDUCTOR SIZE - SHORT CIRCUIT RATINGThe short circuit current ratings in this catalogue are based ona one second duration.

Fire Performance Testing(AS/NZS 3013) (IEC 60331, AS/NZS 1660.5.5) (IEC 60332-3, AS/NZS 1660.5.1)(IEC 60754-1&2, AS/NZS 1660.5.3) (IEC 60134-1&2, AS/NZS 1660.5.2)AS/NZS 3013 - CLASSIFICATION OF THE FIRE AND MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF WIRING SYSTEM ELEMENTSThis test is conducted in three parts:FIRE TEST METHOD<strong>Cable</strong> specimens are placed in a furnace which is programmed to follow a standard time-temperature curve, in orderdetermined the ability of the cable to maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions. The cable is deemed to have passed whenthe specimen has been exposed to the test for the appropriate minimum time requested by the submitter without a failure.WATER TEST METHODAfter the cable specimen has passed the fire test, it is removed from the furnace and exposed to a water spray for 3 minutes.The cable is deemed to have achieved the desired degree of protection when it has been exposed to the fire test for theappropriate time and has sustained the effects of the water spray.MECHANICAL TEST METHOD1. Impact TestThe cable specimen is conditioned, placed on the test apparatus anvil, and connected to the circuit integrity monitoring system.The impactor which is set at the prescribed drop height, is dropped 3 times onto the specimen. The cable is deemed to havepassed when it has been exposed to the specified level of impact energy without failure.2. Cutting TestA wedge shaped indentor is forced against the cable specimen and loaded until it cuts through the insulation in order todetermine the ability of the cable to withstand cutting action. The cable is deemed to have passed when it has been exposedto the specified level of cutting force without failure.WS RATINGOur fire resistant cables are WS rated to AS/NZS 3013. The rating consists of the designation “WS” (Wiring System), FirstCharacteristic Numeral (4 = 90 minutes maintained circuit integrity under fire conditions; 5 = 120 minutes maintained circuitintegrity under fire conditions). Second Characteristic Numeral (1 = light level of impact protection; 2 = medium level of impactprotection). Supplementary Letter “W” means that the cable has passed the fire test and subsequent waterspray test.IEC 60332-3, AS/NZS 1660.5.1 - FLAME RETARDANT TESTThis test is conducted by placing cables together on a vertical ladder tray and thenexposing them to the flames of a ribbon burner for the appropriate time (Detailed below).After removal of the flame, the cables are wiped clean and the charring should not haveexceeded 2.5 meters.Category A:7 litres of combustible material exposed to flame for 40 minutesCategory B:3.5 litres of combustible material exposed to flame for 40 minutesCategory C:1.5 litres of combustible material exposed to flame for 20 minutesIEC 60331, AS/NZS 1660.5.5 - FIRE TESTThis test is conducted by mounting a 1200mm length of cable over a gas burner and energizing it to its rated voltage. Flamesare applied for 90 minutes at a temperature of at least 750°C. After 90 minutes the gas is turned off. After a further 15minutes the power is disconnected. To pass the requirements of this test, the cable must remain operational both during the90 minute exposure and the 15 minute cooling period.”IEC 60754-1&2, AS/NZS 1660.5.3 - ACID GAS EMISSION TESTThis test determines the amount of acid gas emitted by burning cables.IEC 61034-1&2, AS/NZS 1660.5.2 - SMOKE DENSITY TESTThis test measures the smoke emission from cables during fire.This test is carried out in a 3m cubed enclosure where a cable sample is subjected to fire. The smoke emission and densityare measured by a light beam emitted across the inside of the enclosure to a photocell, measuring the amount of luminoustransmission received.58Triangle Flexible <strong>Cable</strong>s issue 13.1
