An Experimental Study for Deriving Fire Risk Evaluation Factors for Cables in Utility Tunnels

In this study, we performed three tests to measure the fire-retardant performance of power cables installed in utility tunnels. The standards we applied for testing are ISO 5660-1, NES 713, and IEEE 1202. Specifically, we performed a cone calorimetric analysis, calculated the toxicity index, and mea...
