T 1.6 Burning cables<br />

When a cable catches fire, either by spontaneous ignition or igniting/kindling,<br />

this can have various effects:<br />

- the connection may be interrupted;<br />

- aggressive gases may evolve;<br />

- cables with non fire-resistant or self-extinguishing insulation material may<br />

aid in the fire’s spread, fire sealing not being able to prevent this<br />

completely, merely delaying the spread of the fire;<br />

- in the case of close-packed lines, there may be smouldering fires which can<br />

remain undiscovered for a prolonged period of time, resulting in the<br />

spreading of the fire long before it fully breaks out.<br />
