Definitions
- the invention relates to a flat cable with short circuit avoidance in case of fire and the use and manufacture of such a flat cable.
- the evacuation time may be 30 minutes or more. These are therefore usually equipped with electrical emergency equipment that must be supplied in case of fire, at least for the evacuation time with electrical energy to allow evacuation. These include e.g. Smoke exhaust fan, emergency lighting, signs etc.
- Flat cables are basically particularly suitable for functional integrity, as shown in the publication EP 2 375 505 A1 is known.
- conventional round cables the wires are twisted together. In case of fire, therefore, after the conductor insulation has burnt, the wire conductors come to lie at the intersection points.
- core conductors run without crossing points in the cable. Therefore, a flat cable behaves in terms of the risk of short circuit from the outset cheaper.
- a flat cable has virtually no internal stress, as they are typical for twisted round cable, so has no pronounced tendency as the round cable to discard when burning the insulation.
- the publication US 2009/0078446 A1 describes another fire-resistant cable, in which the core conductors are surrounded by a core insulation as a whole.
- This common core insulation acts as a cladding mechanically fixing the conductor conductor.
- the common insulation is made of a polymer that can be converted in case of fire at least on the surface in a ceramic state.
- the common insulation is surrounded by an outer jacket, which leaves fire-resistant ash in case of fire.
- the publication JP H01117204 A describes a fire-resistant flat cable in which the individual wire conductors (strands) are wrapped with a glass mica tape. The conductors are wound side by side and are held together by a surrounding layer of polyethylene. This layer is surrounded by a fire-resistant coat, which in turn is surrounded by a fabric cover.
- cables are often used on metallic cable support systems, e.g. metallic cable racks lying out.
- the present invention provides a flat cable with short circuit prevention in case of fire even when laying on an electrically conductive support body.
- the flat cable comprises at least two cores, an intermediate sheath, at least one fire-resistant insulating layer and an outer sheath.
- the at least two wires run parallel to each other in a plane.
- the cores each have a core conductor and a core insulation which is annular in cross-section, wherein in at least one of the cores the core insulation comprises insulating material extruded directly onto the core conductor and insulating in case of fire.
- the intermediate sheath encloses the cores as a whole and thereby encloses the core insulation directly on the outside thereof.
- the intermediate sheath engages between two cores of a flat side of the flat cable to the other flat side.
- the outer jacket surrounds the intermediate jacket and defines the outer contour of the flat cable.
- At least one fire-resistant insulating layer is arranged between the intermediate casing and the outer casing.
- Another aspect relates to the use of a flat cable described above on an electrically conductive support body, wherein the flat cable is oriented so that the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer comes to rest between the wires and the support body.
- Another aspect relates to a method for producing a flat cable with short circuit prevention in case of fire, even when laying on an electrically conductive cable support.
- the method comprises producing cores with a core insulation arranged directly on a wire conductor, ring-shaped in cross-section, applying an intermediate sheath to at least two cores, applying at least one fire-resistant insulating layer to the outside of the intermediate sheath and applying an outer sheath to the intermediate sheath together with the fire-resistant insulating layer ,
- the production of cores with a core insulation arranged directly on a conductor, in cross-section annular insulation comprises producing the core insulation, an encapsulation of the core conductor with an insulating in the event of fire insulating material with an extruder.
- the intermediate sheath is applied to a plurality of cores running parallel to one another in a plane, of which at least one core is equipped with the insulating in the event of fire insulating material, so that it encloses the cores in total, while the core insulations wrapped directly on the outside and between two Veins from one flat side of the flat cable to the other flat side passes through.
- the outer jacket defines the outer contour of the flat cable.
- the flat cable according to the invention is provided for short-circuit avoidance in case of fire, even when laid on an electrically conductive supporting body, for example a metallic (i.e., electrically conductive) cable rack.
- Short circuit can be caused by electrical contact between two wire conductors. In the event of a fire, fire-resistant cable insulation does not burn due to high ambient temperatures or direct flame exposure.
- this has e.g. two or three wires (a live wire, a wire for the neutral wire and possibly a wire for the protective conductor), in embodiments as a three-phase flat cable are e.g. four or five cores (one core per phase, and one conductor for the neutral conductor and, if necessary, one conductor for the protective conductor).
- the individual wires include a wire conductor and a core insulation.
- the individual core conductors of the flat cable have a cross-sectionally annular core insulation.
- the core insulation comprises, in the event of fire, ceramising insulating material which is extruded directly onto the conductor surface, ie without additional intermediate layer.
- fire ceramizing insulating materials are known in the art, such as from P. Eyerer et al., Polymer Engineering Technologies and Practice, Springer-Verlag, 2008, p. 111 .
- the insulating material is, for example, a thermoplastic with one or more ceramizing additives in case of fire, which form a ceramic crust when the plastic burns.
- the additives may be, for example, silicate material, metal or semimetal oxides (such as SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 ), or other suitable ceramizing materials such as zinc borate, or mixtures thereof.
- the ceramizing plastic is applied, for example as a melt directly to the surface of the wire conductor, and surrounds the wire conductor in cross-section annular. If, in case of fire, the plastic of the core insulation burns off, the ceramizing additive forms the said insulating crust, which then still ensures a certain electrical insulation.
- the flat cable comprises an intermediate sheath made of plastic, which surrounds the outside of the core insulation, for example, the intermediate sheath can be extruded onto the core insulation, and enclose the cores in total.
- the veins do not touch, but run under one Distance from each other, and are defined by the swept intermediate sheath held at this distance.
- the thus ensured spacing of the wires acts preventively in case of fire against short circuit, since the wires are already apart from the outset and so less easily touch in case of fire, ie, in electrical contact with each other can.
- the ensured by the penetration, relatively large vein spacing thus acts with the other described measures for short circuit prevention (ceramizing core insulation, fire-resistant insulating layer outside the intermediate sheath) together.
- this version is equipped with spaced wires with ceramic core insulation in case of fire to avoid short circuits between two wire conductors sufficient.
- two ceramic core insulation layers are located between two live core conductors. It has been recognized, however, that with flat cables running on metallic cable support systems, short circuits can also occur between one or more core conductors and the electrically conductive support bodies. Between a core conductor and such an electrically conductive support body is in the event of fire, only a ceramicized core insulation.
- the flat cable comprises at least one fire-resistant insulating layer.
- the flat cable comprises a single fire-resistant insulating layer, in other embodiments, it comprises more than one such insulating layer, wherein the plurality of layers, for example, lie directly on one another and thus form a layer structure.
- the at least one insulating layer is non-flammable and dimensionally stable upon exposure to fire, i. it retains its insulating property even in case of fire, for example in a kiln test at 750 ° C for at least 15 min at.
- the fire-resistant insulating layer or the plurality of fire-resistant insulating layers are arranged outside of the intermediate sheath; It ensures (or ensure) so that in case of fire, an electrical insulation between the wires and the metallic support body of the flat cable.
- the fire-resistant insulating layer extends e.g. over the entire surface between the respective outer wires of the flat cable and thus covers all the wires of the flat cable together with the wire gaps.
- This structure is surrounded by an outer protective layer, the outer sheath, which defines the outer contour of the flat cable and, where appropriate, gives the cable resistance to aggressive substances and mechanical damage during normal operation and can be marked and labeled in color.
- the cable described thus avoids not only direct short circuits between adjacent wires in case of fire, but also due to the reinforced fire-resistant equipment for flat side and those to a metallic support body. It is because of the relatively economical use of ceramizing plastic cheaper than known cable to produce.
- the ceramic insulating material of the wire insulation in some embodiments comprises a plastic which is mixed with keramiserendem additive.
- the plastic a flexible, non-halogenated thermoplastic polymer such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, polyamides, polylactate, polymethyl methacrylate, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polyetheretherketone, or mixtures thereof, which is mixed with the ceramizing additive.
- the core conductors can be overmolded with a melt of the ceramizing additive added plastic, so as to obtain the wires including the ceramic core insulation.
- ceramizing additives are, for example, silicate material, metal or semimetal oxide (such as SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 ), or other suitable ceramizing material such as zinc borate, or mixtures thereof.
- the ceramizing additive forms in case of fire, i. at temperatures at which the plastic in which the additive is burned off, an insulating crust.
- the plastic is mixed with one or more crusting agents that leave a stable, non-conductive ash in case of fire.
- the core insulation in its entire thickness of the extruded, in the event of fire keram isdem insulating material leads to a relatively thick insulating crust in case of fire.
- the core insulation in the at least one core with ceramic in the event of fire insulating material constructed in two layers. Only an inner part of the core insulation is made of the extruded, in the event of fire ceramizing insulating material, while an outer part of the core insulation is made of non-fire-resistant plastic, so burns in case of fire.
- a flat cable has inherently favorable fire performance characteristics (due to the absence of conductor crossovers and internal stresses); Due to these properties and by cooperation with the fire-resistant insulating layer outside the intermediate sheath, it is sufficient to form only a part of the core insulation fireproof.
- the equipment of the cores with a non-fire resistant plastic sheath in addition to the fire-resistant facilitates that the conditions of normal operation (non-fire), such as strength, elasticity, resistance to aggressive substances, etc.) to core insulation can be more easily satisfied than alone with a fire resistant cladding.
- the core insulation comprises an insulating material which ceramises in the event of fire. This expresses the fact that not all wires of the flat cable have to be equipped with this fire-resistant insulating material, but includes the possibility of a fire resistant equipment of all wires.
- all the wires of the flat cable are equipped with in the event of fire keram isdem insulating material.
- the core insulation is made entirely of non-fire-resistant plastic, so that it completely burns in case of fire.
- the non-fire-resistant cores may be those cores which are intended to carry no voltage, that is, for example, around the conductor forming the protective conductor. Namely, fire-resistant insulation is not required with such a core because it is at the same (earth) potential as e.g. an electrically conductive cable rack is located, and therefore in case of loss of insulation in case of fire, a conductor contact e.g. with the cable rack has no short circuit result. By this measure, therefore, the required amount of ceramic insulating material is minimized.
- the core forming the neutral conductor is not exactly at ground potential, since in the case of a three-phase system (and not least in a single-phase system) which is not exactly phase-compensated, a current flow takes place in the neutral conductor, the i.A. leads to a non-zero voltage of the neutral to ground.
- the core forming the neutral conductor is equipped with insulating in the event of fire Keram ensue.
- the voltage applied to the neutral voltage is considered to be negligible, so that (even) the core forming the neutral conductor is not equipped fireproof.
- the intermediate sheath is made of a ceramizing in case of fire insulating material or plastic.
- the plastic of the intermediate jacket is so a non-fire-resistant plastic that burns in the event of fire.
- the intermediate sheath thus leaves, in contrast to the wire insulation of the live conductors, no insulating crust, or other insulating layer.
- the intermediate sheath does not provide any fire-resistant insulation (such as additional encrustation) in the region of the penetration between the cores, in addition to that of the core insulation.
- the intermediate coat thus makes no contribution to the fire protection; it rather serves (only) to stabilize the flat cable and the spacing of the wires in normal operation (ie in non-fire). In case of fire, the wires come to rest with the insulating crust formed from the wire insulation on the fire-resistant insulating layer.
- the outer sheath can also be made of a ceramizing in case of fire insulating material or plastic.
- the plastic of the outer shell is therefore a non-fire resistant plastic that burns in the event of fire.
- the outer sheath thus leaves, in contrast to the wire insulation, no insulating crust, or other insulating layer.
- the intermediate jacket is extruded directly and without an intermediate layer on the outside, so the surface, the core insulation.
- a plastic melt is extruded directly onto the parallel juxtaposed wires and thereby forms the above-described penetration between two cores and ensures their spacing.
- only the plastic of the passage of the intermediate sheath is located between two wires outside of the ring core in cross-section insulation. The thus ensured spacing of the wires acts preventively in case of fire against short circuit, since the wires are already far apart from the outset and thus less easily touch, i. can be in electrical contact with each other, can.
- the spacing of adjacent wires from outside to outside of the adjacent wire insulation is at least equal to the wire radius.
- the "core radius” is understood to mean the average radius of the two wires. This relatively large vein spacing is particularly preventive against short circuit, and thus cooperates with the other measures described for short-circuit prevention.
- the fire-resistant insulating layer completely surrounds the intermediate jacket in the form of one or more windings, ie it is present on both flat sides of the flat cable.
- the fire-resistant insulating layer is formed as a two-part insert on the two flat sides in each case between the intermediate jacket and the outer jacket.
- the fire-resistant insulating layer may be provided only on the flat sides of the flat cable (i.e., not on the narrow sides thereof), or may extend to the area of the narrow sides.
- the flat cable on only one side of a fire-resistant insulating layer.
- the fire-resistant insulating layer may be provided on only one flat side of the flat cable (i.e., not on the narrow sides thereof), or may extend in the region of the narrow sides.
- fire-resistant insulating layer on only one of the two flat sides of the flat cable is in laying the flat cable on an electrically conductive support body of the flat cable, e.g. Metal planks to ensure that the cable with the said flat side with the fire-resistant insulating layer to the electrically conductive support body, i. oriented downwards. This ensures that the fire-resistant insulating layer is in case of fire between the wire conductors and the electrically conductive support body.
- the outer sheath in some of these embodiments no 180 ° symmetry to the side with the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer by an asymmetrical configuration of the outer contour of the outer shell of to make outward visible.
- a flat cable in which the two possible orientations would be indistinguishable from the outside, had a 180 ° symmetry about an axis of symmetry in the middle of the cable in the cable longitudinal direction (because the two orientations correspond to a rotation of the cable through 180 ° about the said axis of symmetry ).
- 180 ° symmetry means that a Flat cable can be turned around this axis, without its outer cross-sectional shape would differ in these two orientations.
- various edge roundings of the essentially rectangular contour of the flat cable and / or an index nose and / or a recess on one or more of the outer sides of the outer jacket can be used.
- a refraction of the symmetry is visible from the outside, how to orient the flat cable, so that the fire-resistant insulating layer is below.
- the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer comprises a fire-resistant and electrically insulating mineral material, which prevents electrical contact between the wire conductors and the support body for the flat cable in case of fire.
- the mineral is a silicate.
- the fire-resistant insulating layer comprises a mica layer.
- Mica is a fissile aluminosilicate that is electrically insulating and fire resistant.
- the refractory insulating layer may be a flexible carrier tape, e.g. include a glass cloth tape.
- the mica layer may be glued to the flexible carrier tape.
- the flexible carrier tape is e.g. applied together with the mica layer in the preparation of the flat cable on the intermediate jacket, e.g. ironed.
- the present description also relates to a use of the flat cable, in which it is designed on an electrically conductive support body. It is oriented so that the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer between the wires and the support body comes to rest. If the flat cable has a fire-resistant insulating layer on both flat sides, then it does not matter with which orientation the flat cable is laid. If, on the other hand, the fire-resistant insulating layer has only one flat side, the cable is oriented with the insulating layer to the carrier body, as mentioned above.
- the method comprises the overmolding of core conductors with insulating in the event of fire insulating material, with an extruder.
- the core insulation thus obtained encloses the conductors therefore with an annular cross-section directly on the surface thereof and thus represents a continuous fire-resistant protective layer with respect to the conductor surface.
- the intermediate jacket is made.
- this is also done by extrusion, e.g. the individual wires are parallel to each other in a plane from each other with an extruder with a plastic coating so that the plastic envelops the wires as a whole.
- the plastic melt is e.g. Extruded directly onto the outside of the wire insulation and produces a substantially rectangular plastic block in which the wires are cast, the intermediate sheath.
- the wires are so far apart that the intermediate sheath penetrates the cores from one of its flat sides to the opposite flat side.
- the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer is applied to the outside of the intermediate jacket.
- the refractory insulating layer may be bonded to the intermediate jacket, for example, by being glued or ironed onto the intermediate jacket. It is also possible to first add insulating layer and intermediate sheath without such connection, i. put on each other, and to provide a connection between the two only by the outer sheath, the e.g. can also be extruded.
- the outer sheath is applied to the intermediate sheath together with the fire-resistant insulating layer; it defines the outer contour of the flat cable, depending on the arrangement of the fire-resistant insulating layer between the intermediate jacket and outer jacket.
- this can also be done by extrusion, by providing the intermediate sheath together with the cores lying therein together with the fire-resistant insulating layer with an extruder with a plastic coating which forms the outer sheath.

Abstract
Ein Flachkabel (1) mit Kurzschlussvermeidung im Brandfall auch bei Verlegung auf einem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper hat wenigstens zwei Adern (7, 7a), die parallel nebeneinander in einer Ebene verlaufen.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Flachkabel mit Kurzschlussvermeidung im Brandfall sowie die Verwendung und Herstellung eines solchen Flachkabels.The invention relates to a flat cable with short circuit avoidance in case of fire and the use and manufacture of such a flat cable.
In größeren Gebäuden, Verkehrsbauwerken (wie z.B. Tunnels) und Schiffen kann die Evakuierungszeit 30 min und mehr betragen. Diese sind daher in der Regel mit elektrischen Noteinrichtungen ausgerüstet, die im Brandfall zumindest für die Evakuierungszeit mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden müssen, um eine Evakuierung zu ermöglichen. Hierzu gehören z.B. Rauchabzugsgebläse, Notbeleuchtungen, Hinweisschilder usw.In larger buildings, transportation structures (such as tunnels) and ships, the evacuation time may be 30 minutes or more. These are therefore usually equipped with electrical emergency equipment that must be supplied in case of fire, at least for the evacuation time with electrical energy to allow evacuation. These include e.g. Smoke exhaust fan, emergency lighting, signs etc.
Die Eignung einer elektrischen Installation zur Aufrechterhaltung der Stromversorgung auch unter Brandeinwirkung wird üblicherweise mit dem Begriff "Funktionserhalt" beschrieben. Flachkabel sind grundsätzlich besonders für Funktionserhalt geeignet, wie aus der Druckschrift

In Tunneln und Gebäuden sind Kabel häufig auf metallischen Kabeltragsystemen, z.B. metallischen Kabelpritschen liegend geführt.In tunnels and buildings, cables are often used on metallic cable support systems, e.g. metallic cable racks lying out.
Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt ein Flachkabel mit Kurzschlussvermeidung im Brandfall auch bei Verlegung auf einem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper bereit. Das Flachkabel umfasst wenigstens zwei Adern, einen Zwischenmantel, wenigstens eine feuerbeständige Isolierschicht und einen Außenmantel. Die wenigstens zwei Adern verlaufen parallel nebeneinander in einer Ebene. Die Adern weisen jeweils einen Aderleiter und eine im Querschnitt ringförmige Aderisolierung auf, wobei bei wenigstens einer der Adern die Aderisolierung unmittelbar auf den Aderleiter extrudiertes, im Brandfall keramisierendes Isoliermaterial umfässt. Der Zwischenmantel umschließt die Adern insgesamt und umhüllt dabei die Aderisolierungen unmittelbar an deren Außenseite. Der Zwischenmantel greift zwischen jeweils zwei Adern von einer Flachseite des Flachkabels zur anderen Flachseite durch. Der Außenmantel umgibt den Zwischenmantel und definiert die Außenkontur des Flachkabels. Zwischen dem Zwischenmantel und dem Außenmantel ist wenigstens eine feuerbeständige Isolierschicht angeordnet.The present invention provides a flat cable with short circuit prevention in case of fire even when laying on an electrically conductive support body. The flat cable comprises at least two cores, an intermediate sheath, at least one fire-resistant insulating layer and an outer sheath. The at least two wires run parallel to each other in a plane. The cores each have a core conductor and a core insulation which is annular in cross-section, wherein in at least one of the cores the core insulation comprises insulating material extruded directly onto the core conductor and insulating in case of fire. The intermediate sheath encloses the cores as a whole and thereby encloses the core insulation directly on the outside thereof. The intermediate sheath engages between two cores of a flat side of the flat cable to the other flat side. The outer jacket surrounds the intermediate jacket and defines the outer contour of the flat cable. At least one fire-resistant insulating layer is arranged between the intermediate casing and the outer casing.
Ein weiterer Aspekt betrifft die Verwendung eines oben beschriebenen Flachkabels auf einem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper, wobei das Flachkabel so orientiert wird, dass zwischen den Adern und dem Tragkörper die wenigstens eine feuerbeständige Isolierschicht zu liegen kommt.Another aspect relates to the use of a flat cable described above on an electrically conductive support body, wherein the flat cable is oriented so that the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer comes to rest between the wires and the support body.
Ein weiterer Aspekt betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Flachkabels mit Kurzschlussvermeidung im Brandfall auch bei Verlegung auf einer elektrisch leitenden Kabelunterlage. Das Verfahren umfasst das Herstellen von Adern mit einer unmittelbar auf einem Aderleiter angeordneten, im Querschnitt ringförmigen Aderisolierung, das Aufbringen eines Zwischenmantels auf wenigstens zwei Adern, das Aufbringen wenigstens einer feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht außen auf den Zwischenmantel und das Aufbringen eines Außenmantels auf den Zwischenmantel samt feuerbeständiger Isolierschicht. Das Herstellen von Adern mit einer unmittelbar auf einem Aderleiter angeordneten, im Querschnitt ringförmigen Aderisolierung umfasst das Herstellen der Aderisolierung ein Umspritzen des Aderleiters mit einem im Brandfall keramisierenden Isoliermaterial mit einem Extruder. Der Zwischenmantel wird auf mehrere, parallel nebeneinander in einer Ebene verlaufende Adern, von denen wenigstens eine Ader mit dem im Brandfall keramisierenden Isoliermaterial ausgerüstet ist, so aufgebracht, dass er die Adern insgesamt umschließt und dabei die Aderisolierungen unmittelbar an deren Außenseite umhüllt und jeweils zwischen zwei Adern von einer Flachseite des Flachkabels zur anderen Flachseite durchgreift. Der Außenmantel definiert die Außenkontur des Flachkabels.Another aspect relates to a method for producing a flat cable with short circuit prevention in case of fire, even when laying on an electrically conductive cable support. The method comprises producing cores with a core insulation arranged directly on a wire conductor, ring-shaped in cross-section, applying an intermediate sheath to at least two cores, applying at least one fire-resistant insulating layer to the outside of the intermediate sheath and applying an outer sheath to the intermediate sheath together with the fire-resistant insulating layer , The production of cores with a core insulation arranged directly on a conductor, in cross-section annular insulation comprises producing the core insulation, an encapsulation of the core conductor with an insulating in the event of fire insulating material with an extruder. The intermediate sheath is applied to a plurality of cores running parallel to one another in a plane, of which at least one core is equipped with the insulating in the event of fire insulating material, so that it encloses the cores in total, while the core insulations wrapped directly on the outside and between two Veins from one flat side of the flat cable to the other flat side passes through. The outer jacket defines the outer contour of the flat cable.
Andere Merkmale ergeben sich aus den offenbarten Vorrichtungen und Verfahren oder werden dem Fachmann aus der folgenden Beschreibung der Beispiele und den begleitenden Figuren klar.Other features will be apparent from the disclosed apparatus and methods, or will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description of the examples and the accompanying drawings.
Das erfindungsgemäße Flachkabel ist zur Kurzschlussvermeidung im Brandfall auch bei Verlegung auf einem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper, beispielsweise einer metallischen (d.h. elektrisch leitenden) Kabelpritsche, vorgesehen.The flat cable according to the invention is provided for short-circuit avoidance in case of fire, even when laid on an electrically conductive supporting body, for example a metallic (i.e., electrically conductive) cable rack.
Kurzschluss kann durch elektrischen Kontakt zwischen zwei Aderleitern zustande kommen. Im Brandfall brennen nicht brandfeste Kabelisolierungen aufgrund hoher Umgebungstemperaturen oder direkter Flammeneinwirkung ab.Short circuit can be caused by electrical contact between two wire conductors. In the event of a fire, fire-resistant cable insulation does not burn due to high ambient temperatures or direct flame exposure.
Bei Ausführungen als einphasiges Flachkabel weist dieses z.B. zwei oder drei Adern auf (eine spannungsführende Ader, eine Ader für den Neutralleiter und ggf. eine Ader für den Schutzleiter), bei Ausführungen als dreiphasiges Flachkabel sind es z.B. vier oder fünf Adern (je eine Ader pro Phase, und eine Ader für den Neutralleiter und ggf. eine Ader für den Schutzleiter). Die einzelnen Adern umfassen einen Aderleiter und eine Aderisolierung.In embodiments as a single-phase flat cable this has e.g. two or three wires (a live wire, a wire for the neutral wire and possibly a wire for the protective conductor), in embodiments as a three-phase flat cable are e.g. four or five cores (one core per phase, and one conductor for the neutral conductor and, if necessary, one conductor for the protective conductor). The individual wires include a wire conductor and a core insulation.
Die einzelnen Aderleiter des Flachkabels weisen eine im Querschnitt ringförmige Aderisolierung auf. Bei der oder den spanungsführenden Adern und optional auch beim Neutralleiter und/oder dem Schutzleiter, also wenigstens bei einer Ader des Flachkabels umfasst die Aderisolierung im Brandfall keramisierendes Isoliermaterial, welches direkt, d.h. ohne zusätzliche Zwischenschicht, auf die Leiteroberfläche extrudiert ist. Im Brandfall keramisierende Isolierstoffe sind im Stand der Technik bekannt, wie zum Beispiel aus
Weiterhin umfasst das Flachkabel einen Zwischenmantel aus Kunststoff, der die Außenseite der Aderisolierungen umhüllt, z.B. kann der Zwischenmantel auf die Aderisolierungen extrudiert sein, und die Adern insgesamt umschließen. Dadurch entsteht ein im Wesentlichen rechteckiger Kunststoffblock, in den die einzelnen Adern eingelassen sind. Durch den im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Kunststoffblock entsteht zwischen den parallel angeordneten Adern ein Durchgriff aus Kunststoff. Der Durchgriff erstreckt sich zwischen jeweils zwei der Adern von einer der Flachseiten des Kunststoffblocks zur anderen Flachseite. Der Durchgriff stellt eine Beabstandung zwischen den Zentren der einzelnen Adern sicher, die größer ist als der Durchmesser einer Ader. Somit berühren sich die Adern nicht, sondern verlaufen unter einem Abstand voneinander, und werden vom durchgreifenden Zwischenmantel definiert in diesem Abstand gehalten. Die hierdurch sichergestellte Beabstandung der Adern wirkt bei Brandeinwirkung gegen Kurzschluss vorbeugend, da die Adern schon von vorneherein auseinander liegen und sich so im Brandfall weniger leicht berühren, d.h. im elektrischen Kontakt zueinander stehen, können. Der durch den Durchgriff sichergestellte, relativ große Aderabstand wirkt somit mit den anderen beschriebenen Maßnahmen zur Kurzschlussvermeidung (keramisierende Aderisolierung, feuerbeständige isolierende Schicht außerhalb des Zwischenmantels) zusammen.Furthermore, the flat cable comprises an intermediate sheath made of plastic, which surrounds the outside of the core insulation, for example, the intermediate sheath can be extruded onto the core insulation, and enclose the cores in total. This creates a substantially rectangular plastic block, in which the individual wires are embedded. Due to the essentially rectangular plastic block, a plastic penetration occurs between the cores arranged in parallel. The passage extends between each two of the wires from one of the flat sides of the plastic block to the other flat side. The penetration ensures a spacing between the centers of the individual wires, which is larger than the diameter of a wire. Thus, the veins do not touch, but run under one Distance from each other, and are defined by the swept intermediate sheath held at this distance. The thus ensured spacing of the wires acts preventively in case of fire against short circuit, since the wires are already apart from the outset and so less easily touch in case of fire, ie, in electrical contact with each other can. The ensured by the penetration, relatively large vein spacing thus acts with the other described measures for short circuit prevention (ceramizing core insulation, fire-resistant insulating layer outside the intermediate sheath) together.
Aufgrund der eingangs genannten, für Brand-Funktionserhalt günstigen Eigenschaften eines Flachkabels ist diese Ausführung mit beabstandeten Adern mit im Brandfall keramisierenden Aderisolierungen zur Vermeidung von Kurzschlüssen zwischen zwei Aderleitern ausreichend ausgerüstet. Zwischen zwei spannungsführenden Aderleitern liegen im Brandfall zwei keramisierte Aderisolierungen. Es wurde jedoch erkannt, dass es bei Flachkabeln, die auf metallischen Kabeltragsystemen verlaufen, zu Kurzschlüssen auch zwischen einem oder mehreren Aderleitern und den elektrisch leitenden Tragkörpern kommen kann. Zwischen einem Aderleiter und einem solchen elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper liegt im Brandfall nur eine keramisierte Aderisolierung. Um einerseits die Dicke der keramisierenden Aderisolierungen möglichst gering halten zu können und anderseits eine ausreichende elektrische Isolierung im Brandfall nach unten zu einem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper zu gewährleisten, wurde erkannt, dass es günstig ist, eine hierauf gerichtete weitere kurzschlussvermeidende Maßnahme für den Brandfall vorzusehen.Due to the above-mentioned properties favorable for fire-functional integrity of a flat cable, this version is equipped with spaced wires with ceramic core insulation in case of fire to avoid short circuits between two wire conductors sufficient. In case of fire, two ceramic core insulation layers are located between two live core conductors. It has been recognized, however, that with flat cables running on metallic cable support systems, short circuits can also occur between one or more core conductors and the electrically conductive support bodies. Between a core conductor and such an electrically conductive support body is in the event of fire, only a ceramicized core insulation. On the one hand to keep the thickness of the ceramic core insulation as low as possible and on the other hand to ensure sufficient electrical insulation in case of fire down to an electrically conductive support body, it was recognized that it is favorable to provide a further short-circuit preventing measure directed thereto for the case of fire.
Als zusätzliche Absicherung vor Kurzschlüssen im Brandfall durch Kontakt von Aderleitern mit einem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper des Flachkabels, z.B. einer Kabelpritsche aus Metall, umfasst das Flachkabel wenigstens eine feuerbeständige Isolierschicht.As additional protection against short circuits in case of fire by contact of wire conductors with an electrically conductive supporting body of the flat cable, e.g. a cable tray made of metal, the flat cable comprises at least one fire-resistant insulating layer.
Bei manchen Ausgestaltungen umfasst das Flachkabel eine einzelne feuerbeständige Isolierschicht, bei anderen Ausgestaltungen umfasst es mehr als eine solche Isolierschicht, wobei die mehreren Schichten z.B. unmittelbar aufeinanderliegen und damit einen Schichtenaufbau bilden.In some embodiments, the flat cable comprises a single fire-resistant insulating layer, in other embodiments, it comprises more than one such insulating layer, wherein the plurality of layers, for example, lie directly on one another and thus form a layer structure.
Die wenigstens eine Isolierschicht ist nicht brennbar und bei Brandeinwirkung formstabil, d.h. sie behält ihre isolierende Eigenschaft auch im Brandfall, beispielsweise in einem Ofenversuch bei 750°C über wenigstens 15 min, bei.The at least one insulating layer is non-flammable and dimensionally stable upon exposure to fire, i. it retains its insulating property even in case of fire, for example in a kiln test at 750 ° C for at least 15 min at.
Die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht ist bzw. die mehreren feuerbeständigen Isolierschichten sind außerhalb des Zwischenmantels angeordnet; sie gewährleistet (bzw. gewährleisten) damit auch im Brandfall eine elektrische Isolation zwischen den Adern und dem metallischen Tragkörper des Flachkabels. Die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht erstreckt sich z.B. über die gesamte Fläche zwischen den jeweils äußeren Adern des Flachkabels und überdeckt damit alle Adern des Flachkabels samt den Ader-Zwischenräumen.The fire-resistant insulating layer or the plurality of fire-resistant insulating layers are arranged outside of the intermediate sheath; It ensures (or ensure) so that in case of fire, an electrical insulation between the wires and the metallic support body of the flat cable. The fire-resistant insulating layer extends e.g. over the entire surface between the respective outer wires of the flat cable and thus covers all the wires of the flat cable together with the wire gaps.
Umgeben ist dieser Aufbau von einer äußeren Schutzschicht, dem Außenmantel, die die Außenkontur des Flachkabels definiert und dem Kabel im Normalbetrieb ggf. Beständigkeit gegen aggressive Substanzen und mechanische Beschädigung verleiht und farbig markiert und beschriftet sein kann.This structure is surrounded by an outer protective layer, the outer sheath, which defines the outer contour of the flat cable and, where appropriate, gives the cable resistance to aggressive substances and mechanical damage during normal operation and can be marked and labeled in color.
Das beschriebene Kabel vermeidet somit im Brandfall nicht nur direkte Kurzschlüsse zwischen benachbarten Adern, sondern aufgrund der verstärkten feuerbeständigen Ausrüstung zur Flachseite auch solche zu einem metallischen Tragkörper. Es ist dabei wegen des relativ sparsamen Einsatzes von keramisierendem Kunststoff kostengünstiger als bekannte Kabel herstellbar.The cable described thus avoids not only direct short circuits between adjacent wires in case of fire, but also due to the reinforced fire-resistant equipment for flat side and those to a metallic support body. It is because of the relatively economical use of ceramizing plastic cheaper than known cable to produce.
Wie bereits ausgeführt wurde, umfasst das keramisierende Isolationsmaterial der Aderisolierungen bei manchen Ausgestaltungen einen Kunststoff, der mit keramiserendem Zusatzstoff versetzt ist. Hierbei kann der Kunststoff ein flexibles, nicht-halogenisiertes thermoplastisches Polymer, wie z.B. Polyethylen, Polypropylen, Ethylen-Propylen-Dien (EPDM), Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol, Polyamide, Polylactat, Polymethylmethacrylat, Polycarbonat, Polyethylenterephthalat, Polystyrol, Polyetheretherketon, oder Mischungen hiervon sein, welches mit dem keramisierenden Zusatzstoff versetzt ist. Die Aderleiter können mit einer Schmelze aus dem mit keramisierendem Zusatzstoff versetzten Kunststoff umspritzt werden, um so die Adern einschließlich der keramisierenden Aderisolierung zu erhalten. Wie oben erwähnt, sind geeignete, im Brandfall keramisierende Zusatzstoffe bekannt; siehe zum
In manchen Ausgestaltungen bildet der keramisierende Zusatzstoff im Brandfall, d.h. bei Temperaturen bei denen der Kunststoff in dem sich der Zusatzstoff befindet abbrennt, eine isolierende Kruste. Mit anderen Worten, der Kunststoff ist mit einem oder mehreren Krustenbildnern versetzt, die im Brandfall eine stabile, nicht leitende Asche hinterlassen. -In some embodiments, the ceramizing additive forms in case of fire, i. at temperatures at which the plastic in which the additive is burned off, an insulating crust. In other words, the plastic is mixed with one or more crusting agents that leave a stable, non-conductive ash in case of fire. -
Bei manchen Ausgestaltungen ist bei der wenigstens einen Ader, die mit im Brandfall keramisierendem Isoliermaterial ausgerüstet ist, die Aderisolierung in ihrer gesamtem Dicke aus dem aufextrudierten, im Brandfall keramisierendem Isoliermaterial hergestellt. Dies führt im Brandfall zu einer relativ dicken isolierenden Kruste.In some embodiments, in the at least one core, which is equipped with in the event of fire keramisierendem insulating material, the core insulation in its entire thickness of the extruded, in the event of fire keramisierendem insulating material. This leads to a relatively thick insulating crust in case of fire.
Bei anderen Ausgestaltungen ist die Aderisolierung bei der wenigstens einen Ader mit im Brandfall keramisierendem Isoliermaterial hingegen zweischichtig aufgebaut. Nur ein innerer Teil der Aderisolierung ist aus dem aufextrudierten, im Brandfall keramisierendem Isoliermaterial hergestellt, während ein äußerer Teil der Aderisolierung aus nicht feuerbeständigem Kunststoff hergestellt ist, also im Brandfall abbrennt. Wie oben erwähnt, hat ein Flachkabel von Haus aus günstige Funktionserhalteigenschaften bei Brand (wegen der Abwesenheit von Leiterüberkreuzungen und inneren Spannungen); aufgrund dieser Eigenschaften und durch Zusammenwirken mit der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht außerhalb des Zwischenmantels reicht es aus, nur einen Teil der Aderisolierung feuerbeständig auszubilden. Damit die bei Brand entstehende isolierende Kruste direkt am Aderleiter liegt, ist es die innere Schicht der zweischichtigen Aderisolierung, die aus dem im Brandfall keramisierendem Isoliermaterial hergestellt ist. Durch diese Maßnahme wird daher die benötigte Menge keramisierenden Isoliermaterials minimiert. Andererseits erleichtert die Ausrüstung der Adern mit einer nicht feuerbeständigen Kunststoffumhüllung zusätzlich zu der feuerbeständigen, dass die an eine Aderisolierung zu stellenden Bedingungen für den Normalbetrieb (Nicht-Brandfall), wie Festigkeit, Elastizität, Beständigkeit gegen aggressive Substanzen, etc.) leichter erfüllt werden können, als allein mit einer feuerbeständigen Umhüllung.In other embodiments, the core insulation in the at least one core with ceramic in the event of fire insulating material, however, constructed in two layers. Only an inner part of the core insulation is made of the extruded, in the event of fire ceramizing insulating material, while an outer part of the core insulation is made of non-fire-resistant plastic, so burns in case of fire. As mentioned above, a flat cable has inherently favorable fire performance characteristics (due to the absence of conductor crossovers and internal stresses); Due to these properties and by cooperation with the fire-resistant insulating layer outside the intermediate sheath, it is sufficient to form only a part of the core insulation fireproof. In order for the insulating crust formed by fire to lie directly on the wire conductor, it is the inner layer of the two-layered wire insulation that is produced from the insulating material which ceramises in the event of fire. By this measure, therefore, the required amount of ceramic insulating material is minimized. On the other hand, the equipment of the cores with a non-fire resistant plastic sheath in addition to the fire-resistant facilitates that the conditions of normal operation (non-fire), such as strength, elasticity, resistance to aggressive substances, etc.) to core insulation can be more easily satisfied than alone with a fire resistant cladding.
Aus den bisherigen Ausführungen geht hervor, dass bei wenigstens einer der Adern des Flachkabels die Aderisolierung ein im Brandfall keramisierendes Isoliermaterial umfasst. Dies bringt zum Ausdruck, dass nicht alle Adern des Flachkabels mit diesem feuerbeständigen Isoliermaterial ausgerüstet sein müssen, schließt aber die Möglichkeit einer feuerbeständigen Ausrüstung aller Adern ein.It can be seen from the above statements that in at least one of the cores of the flat cable, the core insulation comprises an insulating material which ceramises in the event of fire. This expresses the fact that not all wires of the flat cable have to be equipped with this fire-resistant insulating material, but includes the possibility of a fire resistant equipment of all wires.
Bei manchen Ausgestaltungen sind sämtliche Adern des Flachkabels mit im Brandfall keramisierendem Isoliermaterial ausgerüstet.In some embodiments, all the wires of the flat cable are equipped with in the event of fire keramisierendem insulating material.
Bei anderen Ausgestaltungen ist hingegen nur ein Teil der Adern des Flachkabels mit im Brandfall keramisierendem Isoliermaterial ausgerüstet, während bei einer oder mehrerer Adern des Flachkabels die Aderisolierung insgesamt aus nicht feuerbeständigem Kunststoff hergestellt ist, so dass sie im Brandfall vollständig abbrennt. Bei der bzw. den nicht feuerbeständig ausgerüsteten Adern kann es sich um diejenigen Adern handeln, die dazu bestimmt sind, keine Spannung zu führen, also beispielsweise um die den Schutzleiter bildende Ader. Eine feuerbeständige Isolierung ist bei einer solchen Ader nämlich nicht erforderlich, da sie auf demselben (Erd-)Potential wie z.B. eine elektrisch leitende Kabelpritsche liegt, und daher bei Verlust der Isolation im Brandfall eine Leiterberührung z.B. mit der Kabelpritsche keinen Kurzschluss zur Folge hat. Durch diese Maßnahme wird daher die benötigte Menge keramisierenden Isoliermaterials minimiert.In other embodiments, however, only a portion of the cores of the flat cable is equipped with in the event of fire keramisierendem insulating material, while one or more cores of the flat cable, the core insulation is made entirely of non-fire-resistant plastic, so that it completely burns in case of fire. The non-fire-resistant cores may be those cores which are intended to carry no voltage, that is, for example, around the conductor forming the protective conductor. Namely, fire-resistant insulation is not required with such a core because it is at the same (earth) potential as e.g. an electrically conductive cable rack is located, and therefore in case of loss of insulation in case of fire, a conductor contact e.g. with the cable rack has no short circuit result. By this measure, therefore, the required amount of ceramic insulating material is minimized.
Die den Neutralleiter bildende Ader liegt strenggenommen nicht genau auf Erdpotential, da bei einem nicht genau phasenkompensierten Dreiphasensystem (und erst recht bei einem Einphasensystem) ein Stromfluss im Neutralleiter stattfindet, der i.A. zu einer von Null verschiedenen Spannung des Neutralleiters gegenüber Erde führt. Bei manchen Ausgestaltungen ist daher auch die den Neutralleiter bildende Ader mit im Brandfall keramisierendem Isoliermaterial ausgerüstet. Bei anderen Ausgestaltungen wird hingegen die am Neutralleiter anliegende Spannung als vernachlässigbar angesehen, so dass (auch) die den Neutralleiter bildende Ader nicht feuerbeständig ausgerüstet ist.Strictly speaking, the core forming the neutral conductor is not exactly at ground potential, since in the case of a three-phase system (and not least in a single-phase system) which is not exactly phase-compensated, a current flow takes place in the neutral conductor, the i.A. leads to a non-zero voltage of the neutral to ground. In some embodiments, therefore, the core forming the neutral conductor is equipped with insulating in the event of fire Keramisierendem. In other embodiments, however, the voltage applied to the neutral voltage is considered to be negligible, so that (even) the core forming the neutral conductor is not equipped fireproof.
Bei manchen Ausführungen ist auch der Zwischenmantel aus einem im Brandfall keramisierenden Isoliermaterial bzw. Kunststoff hergestellt.In some embodiments, the intermediate sheath is made of a ceramizing in case of fire insulating material or plastic.
Durch die Ausrüstung des Flachkabels mit der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht außerhalb des Zwischenmantel kann aber auf eine solche keramisierende Ausführung des Zwischenmantels verzichtet werden. Bei manchen Ausgestaltungen ist der Kunststoff des Zwischenmantels also ein nicht feuerbeständiger Kunststoff, der im Brandfall abbrennt. Der Zwischenmantel hinterlässt also, im Gegensatz zu den Aderisolierungen der spannungsführende Adern, keine isolierende Kruste, oder sonstige isolierende Schicht. Der Zwischenmantel erbringt also im Brandfall auch keine feuerbeständige Isolierung (etwa eine zusätzliche Verkrustung) im Bereich des Durchgriffs zwischen den Adern, zusätzlich zu derjenigen der Aderisolierungen. Der Zwischenmantel leistet also keinen Beitrag zum Brandschutz; er dient vielmehr (nur) der Stabilisierung des Flachkabels und der Beabstandung der Adern im Normalbetrieb (d.h. im Nicht-Brandfall). Im Falle eines Brandes kommen die Adern mit der aus den Aderisolierungen gebildeten isolierenden Kruste auf der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht zu liegen.By equipping the flat cable with the fire-resistant insulating layer outside the intermediate sheath but can be dispensed with such a ceramic version of the intermediate sheath. In some embodiments, the plastic of the intermediate jacket is so a non-fire-resistant plastic that burns in the event of fire. The intermediate sheath thus leaves, in contrast to the wire insulation of the live conductors, no insulating crust, or other insulating layer. Thus, in the event of fire, the intermediate sheath does not provide any fire-resistant insulation (such as additional encrustation) in the region of the penetration between the cores, in addition to that of the core insulation. The intermediate coat thus makes no contribution to the fire protection; it rather serves (only) to stabilize the flat cable and the spacing of the wires in normal operation (ie in non-fire). In case of fire, the wires come to rest with the insulating crust formed from the wire insulation on the fire-resistant insulating layer.
Entsprechendes gilt für den Außenmantel: Dieser kann ebenfalls aus einem im Brandfall keramisierenden Isoliermaterial bzw. Kunststoff hergestellt sein. Durch die Ausrüstung des Flachkabels mit der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht außerhalb des Zwischenmantels kann auf eine solche keramisierende Ausführung des Außenmantels verzichtet werden. Bei manchen Ausgestaltungen ist der Kunststoff des Außenmantels also ein nicht feuerbeständiger Kunststoff, der im Brandfall abbrennt. Der Außenmantel hinterlässt also, im Gegensatz zu den Aderisolierungen, keine isolierende Kruste, oder sonstige isolierende Schicht.The same applies to the outer sheath: This can also be made of a ceramizing in case of fire insulating material or plastic. By equipping the flat cable with the fire-resistant insulating layer outside the intermediate sheath can be dispensed with such a ceramic version of the outer sheath. In some embodiments, the plastic of the outer shell is therefore a non-fire resistant plastic that burns in the event of fire. The outer sheath thus leaves, in contrast to the wire insulation, no insulating crust, or other insulating layer.
In manchen Ausgestaltungen ist der Zwischenmantel direkt und ohne Zwischenschicht auf die Außenseite, also die Oberfläche, der Aderisolierungen extrudiert. Eine Kunststoffschmelze wird direkt auf die parallel nebeneinander geführten Adern extrudiert und formt dadurch den oben beschriebenen Durchgriff zwischen je zwei Adern und sorgt für deren Beabstandung. Somit befindet sich zwischen zwei Adern außerhalb der im Querschnitt ringförmigen Aderisolierung nur der Kunststoff des Durchgriffs des Zwischenmantels. Die hierdurch sicher gestellte Beabstandung der Adern wirkt bei Brandeinwirkung gegen Kurzschluss vorbeugend, da die Adern schon von vorneherein weit auseinander liegen und sich so weniger leicht berühren, d.h. im elektrischen Kontakt zueinander stehen, können.In some embodiments, the intermediate jacket is extruded directly and without an intermediate layer on the outside, so the surface, the core insulation. A plastic melt is extruded directly onto the parallel juxtaposed wires and thereby forms the above-described penetration between two cores and ensures their spacing. Thus, only the plastic of the passage of the intermediate sheath is located between two wires outside of the ring core in cross-section insulation. The thus ensured spacing of the wires acts preventively in case of fire against short circuit, since the wires are already far apart from the outset and thus less easily touch, i. can be in electrical contact with each other, can.
In manchen Ausgestaltungen entspricht der Abstand benachbarter Adern von Außenseite zu Außenseite der benachbarten Aderisolierungen wenigstens dem Aderradius. Für den Fall, dass die benachbarten Adern unterschiedlich große Radien aufweisen, wird unter dem "Aderradius" der mittlere Radius der beiden Adern verstanden. Dieser relativ große Aderabstand ist besonders gegen Kurzschluss vorbeugend, und wirkt somit mit den anderen beschriebenen Maßnahmen zur Kurzschlussvermeidung zusammen.In some embodiments, the spacing of adjacent wires from outside to outside of the adjacent wire insulation is at least equal to the wire radius. In the event that the adjacent wires have different radii, the "core radius" is understood to mean the average radius of the two wires. This relatively large vein spacing is particularly preventive against short circuit, and thus cooperates with the other measures described for short-circuit prevention.
In manchen Ausgestaltungen umgibt die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht den Zwischenmantel vollständig in Form von einer oder mehreren Wicklungen, ist also an beiden Flachseiten des Flachkabels vorhanden.In some embodiments, the fire-resistant insulating layer completely surrounds the intermediate jacket in the form of one or more windings, ie it is present on both flat sides of the flat cable.
Bei anderen Ausgestaltungen ist die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht als zweigeteilte Einlage an den beiden Flachseiten jeweils zwischen Zwischenmantel und Außenmantel ausgebildet. Dabei kann die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht nur an den Flächseiten des Flachkabels (d.h. nicht an dessen Schmalseiten) vorgesehen sein, oder sie kann sich auch in den Bereich der Schmalseiten erstrecken.In other embodiments, the fire-resistant insulating layer is formed as a two-part insert on the two flat sides in each case between the intermediate jacket and the outer jacket. In this case, the fire-resistant insulating layer may be provided only on the flat sides of the flat cable (i.e., not on the narrow sides thereof), or may extend to the area of the narrow sides.
In noch anderen Ausgestaltungen weist das Flachkabel hingegen nur auf einer Seite eine feuerbeständige Isolierschicht auf. Auch bei diesen Ausgestaltungen kann die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht nur an der einen Flachseite des Flachkabels (d.h. nicht an dessen Schmalseiten) vorgesehen sein, oder sie kann sich auch in den Bereich der Schmalseiten erstrecken.In yet other embodiments, the flat cable, however, on only one side of a fire-resistant insulating layer. Also in these embodiments, the fire-resistant insulating layer may be provided on only one flat side of the flat cable (i.e., not on the narrow sides thereof), or may extend in the region of the narrow sides.
In den Ausgestaltungen mit feuerbeständiger Isolierschicht auf nur einer der beiden Flachseiten des Flachkabels ist bei der Verlegung des Flachkabels auf einem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper des Flachkabels, z.B. Metallpritschen, dafür Sorge zu tragen, dass das Kabel mit der besagten Flachseite mit der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht zu dem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper, d.h. nach unten orientiert ist. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass sich die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht im Brandfall zwischen den Aderleitern und dem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper befindet.In the embodiments with fire-resistant insulating layer on only one of the two flat sides of the flat cable is in laying the flat cable on an electrically conductive support body of the flat cable, e.g. Metal planks to ensure that the cable with the said flat side with the fire-resistant insulating layer to the electrically conductive support body, i. oriented downwards. This ensures that the fire-resistant insulating layer is in case of fire between the wire conductors and the electrically conductive support body.
Um bei letzteren Ausgestaltungen die besagte Orientierung des Flachkabels mit der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht nach unten zu erleichtern, weist der Außenmantel bei manchen dieser Ausgestaltungen keine 180°-Symmetrie auf, um die Seite mit der wenigstens einen feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht durch eine asymmetrische Ausgestaltung der Außenkontur des Außenmantels von außen erkennbar zu machen.In order to facilitate the said orientation of the flat cable with the fire-resistant insulating layer in the latter embodiments, the outer sheath in some of these embodiments, no 180 ° symmetry to the side with the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer by an asymmetrical configuration of the outer contour of the outer shell of to make outward visible.
Hierzu folgende Erläuterung: Ein Flachkabel, bei dem die beiden möglichen Orientierungen von außen ununterscheidbar wären, wiese eine 180°-Symmetrie um eine Symmetrieachse in der Kabelmitte in Kabellängsrichtung auf (weil die beiden Orientierungen einer Drehung des Kabels um 180° um die besagte Symmetrieachse entsprechen). 180°-Symmetrie bedeutet also, dass ein Flachkabel um diese Achse gewendet werden kann, ohne dass sich seine äußere Querschnittsform in diesen beiden Orientierungen unterscheiden würde.The following explanation: A flat cable, in which the two possible orientations would be indistinguishable from the outside, had a 180 ° symmetry about an axis of symmetry in the middle of the cable in the cable longitudinal direction (because the two orientations correspond to a rotation of the cable through 180 ° about the said axis of symmetry ). 180 ° symmetry means that a Flat cable can be turned around this axis, without its outer cross-sectional shape would differ in these two orientations.
Zur Brechung der 180°-Symmetrie können bei diesen Ausgestaltungen beispielsweise verschiedenartige Kantenverrundungen der im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Kontur des Flachkabels und/oder eine Indexnase und/oder eine Einbuchtung an einer oder mehreren der Außenseiten des Außenmantels dienen. Durch eine derartige Brechung der Symmetrie ist von außen erkennbar, wie das Flachkabel zu orientieren ist, damit die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht unten liegt.In order to break the 180 ° symmetry, in these embodiments, for example, various edge roundings of the essentially rectangular contour of the flat cable and / or an index nose and / or a recess on one or more of the outer sides of the outer jacket can be used. By such a refraction of the symmetry is visible from the outside, how to orient the flat cable, so that the fire-resistant insulating layer is below.
Bei manchen Ausgestaltungen umfasst die wenigstens eine feuerbeständige Isolierschicht einen feuerbeständigen und elektrisch isolierenden Mineralstoff, der elektrischen Kontakt zwischen den Aderleitern und dem Tragkörper für das Flachkabel im Brandfall verhindert. Bei manchen Ausgestaltungen handelt es sich bei dem Mineralstoff um ein Silicat.In some embodiments, the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer comprises a fire-resistant and electrically insulating mineral material, which prevents electrical contact between the wire conductors and the support body for the flat cable in case of fire. In some embodiments, the mineral is a silicate.
Beispielsweise umfasst die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht eine Glimmerschicht. Glimmer ist ein spaltbares Tonerdesilicat, welches elektrisch isolierend und feuerbeständig ist.For example, the fire-resistant insulating layer comprises a mica layer. Mica is a fissile aluminosilicate that is electrically insulating and fire resistant.
Zwecks leichterer Verarbeitung kann bei manchen der Ausgestaltungen mit Glimmerschicht die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht ein flexibles Trägerband, z.B. ein Glasgewebeband umfassen. Die Glimmerschicht kann auf das flexible Trägerband geklebt sein. Das flexible Trägerband wird z.B. zusammen mit der Glimmerschicht bei der Herstellung des Flachkabels auf den Zwischenmantel aufgebracht, z.B. aufgebügelt.For ease of processing, in some of the mica layer designs, the refractory insulating layer may be a flexible carrier tape, e.g. include a glass cloth tape. The mica layer may be glued to the flexible carrier tape. The flexible carrier tape is e.g. applied together with the mica layer in the preparation of the flat cable on the intermediate jacket, e.g. ironed.
Die vorliegende Beschreibung betrifft auch eine Verwendung des Flachkabels, bei der es auf einem elektrisch leitenden Tragkörper ausgelegt wird. Dabei wird es so orientiert, dass die wenigstens eine feuerbeständige Isolierschicht zwischen den Adern und dem Tragkörper zu liegen kommt. Hat das Flachkabel eine feuerbeständige Isolierschicht auf beiden Flachseiten, so ist es unerheblich, mit welcher Orientierung das Flachkabel verlegt wird. Hat es hingegen die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht nur auf einer Flachseite wird das Kabel - wie oben erwähnt - mit der Isolierschicht zum Trägerkörper orientiert.The present description also relates to a use of the flat cable, in which it is designed on an electrically conductive support body. It is oriented so that the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer between the wires and the support body comes to rest. If the flat cable has a fire-resistant insulating layer on both flat sides, then it does not matter with which orientation the flat cable is laid. If, on the other hand, the fire-resistant insulating layer has only one flat side, the cable is oriented with the insulating layer to the carrier body, as mentioned above.
Es ist auch möglich, mehrere Flachkabel parallel übereinander zu legen, d.h. die Flachkabel auf dem Tragkörper zu stapeln. Auch bei dieser Verwendung wird bei Ausgestaltungen mit nur auf einer Flachseite vorhandener feuerbeständiger Isolierschicht die Orientierung der gestapelten Flachkabel so gewählt, dass jeweils die Seite mit der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht auf der Unterseite des Flachkabels liegt.It is also possible to lay several flat cables in parallel one above the other, ie to stack the flat cables on the support body. Even with this use is in embodiments with only on a flat side existing fire-resistant insulating layer, the orientation of the stacked flat cable chosen so that each side is the fire-resistant insulating layer on the underside of the flat cable.
In der vorliegenden Beschreibung ist auch ein Beispiel eines geeigneten Verfahrens zum Herstellen des oben beschriebenen Flachkabels angegeben. Das Verfahren umfasst das Umspritzen von Aderleitern mit im Brandfall keramisierendem Isoliermaterial, mit einem Extruder. Die so gewonnene Aderisolierung umschließt die Leiter daher mit ringförmigem Querschnitt direkt an deren Oberfläche und stellt damit bezüglich der Leiteroberfläche eine durchgehende feuerbeständige Schutzschicht dar.In the present specification, an example of a suitable method for manufacturing the flat cable described above is also given. The method comprises the overmolding of core conductors with insulating in the event of fire insulating material, with an extruder. The core insulation thus obtained encloses the conductors therefore with an annular cross-section directly on the surface thereof and thus represents a continuous fire-resistant protective layer with respect to the conductor surface.
Dann wird der Zwischenmantel hergestellt. Bei manchen Ausgestaltungen des Verfahrens erfolgt dies ebenfalls durch Extrusion, indem z.B. die einzelnen Adern parallel nebeneinander in einer Ebene voneinander mit einem Extruder mit einem Kunststoffüberzug versehen werden, so dass der Kunststoff die Adern insgesamt umhüllt. Die Kunststoffschmelze wird z.B. direkt auf die Außenseite der Aderisolierungen extrudiert und erzeugt einen im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Kunststoffblock in dem die Adern eingegossen sind, den Zwischenmantel. Dabei sind, wie oben beschrieben, die Adern so weit voneinander beabstandet, dass der Zwischenmantel die Adern von einer seiner Flachseiten zur gegenüberliegenden Flachseite hin durchgreift.Then the intermediate jacket is made. In some embodiments of the method, this is also done by extrusion, e.g. the individual wires are parallel to each other in a plane from each other with an extruder with a plastic coating so that the plastic envelops the wires as a whole. The plastic melt is e.g. Extruded directly onto the outside of the wire insulation and produces a substantially rectangular plastic block in which the wires are cast, the intermediate sheath. In this case, as described above, the wires are so far apart that the intermediate sheath penetrates the cores from one of its flat sides to the opposite flat side.
Dann wird die wenigstens eine feuerbeständige Isolierschicht außen auf den Zwischenmantel aufgebracht. Die feuerbeständige Isolierschicht kann mit dem Zwischenmantel verbunden werden, beispielsweise indem sie auf den Zwischenmantel geklebt oder gebügelt wird. Es ist auch möglich, Isolierschicht und Zwischenmantel zunächst ohne derartige Verbindung nur zu fügen, d.h. aufeinander zu legen, und für eine Verbindung zwischen beiden nur durch den Außenmantel zu sorgen, der z.B. ebenfalls aufextrudiert werden kann.Then, the at least one fire-resistant insulating layer is applied to the outside of the intermediate jacket. The refractory insulating layer may be bonded to the intermediate jacket, for example, by being glued or ironed onto the intermediate jacket. It is also possible to first add insulating layer and intermediate sheath without such connection, i. put on each other, and to provide a connection between the two only by the outer sheath, the e.g. can also be extruded.
Abschließend wird der Außenmantel auf den Zwischenmantel samt der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht aufgebracht; er definiert die Außenkontur des Flachkabels, abhängig von der Anordnung der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht zwischen Zwischenmantel und Außenmantel. Wie erwähnt kann dies bei manchen Ausgestaltungen des Verfahrens ebenfalls durch Extrusion erfolgen, indem der Zwischenmantel samt den darin liegenden Adern zusammen mit der feuerbeständigen Isolierschicht mit einem Extruder mit einem Kunststoffüberzug versehen werden, der den Außenmantel bildet.Finally, the outer sheath is applied to the intermediate sheath together with the fire-resistant insulating layer; it defines the outer contour of the flat cable, depending on the arrangement of the fire-resistant insulating layer between the intermediate jacket and outer jacket. As mentioned, in some embodiments of the method, this can also be done by extrusion, by providing the intermediate sheath together with the cores lying therein together with the fire-resistant insulating layer with an extruder with a plastic coating which forms the outer sheath.
