EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY

Emergency generators are brought into play when regular power fails, and are the backbone of the systems that provide time for a safe evacuation of occupants, and power to operate the life safety and fire fighting systems.

FIRE PUMPS

Perhaps the most important fire fighting piece of equipment, the fire pump ensures water pressure for the sprinkler system. Mechanically tough, fire-rated wiring is needed for this critical circuit.

PRESSURIZING FANS AND SMOKE DAMPERS

For stairwells and other areas of safe refuge, pressurization fans and smoke dampers provide a positive pressure to maintain a smoke free area of safe refuge with clean air for breathing, and visibility for egress.

SMOKE VENTING FANS

Smoke is the major threat because of loss of visibility and air to breathe, and fans to remove smoke are of crucial importance.

EMERGENCY LIGHTING

When normal power is disrupted in a fire, the chances of safe egress or firefighting in the dark go down dramatically. Emergency lighting provides the back-up for the normal lighting.

FIRE ALARM

The National Fire Alarm Code stipulates that in Voice Evacuation Fire Alarm systems, the wiring for the notification circuits shall be 2-hour fire rated. Fire Alarm wiring designed to meet the survivability requirement for notification circuits is required.

SERVICE ENTRANCE

System1850-SE provides a solution to the problems associated with concrete encasing new services into existing buildings. The size and inflexibility of conduit alone, quite apart from the difficulty of encasement in very difficult locations, makes System 1850-SE an ideal solution in many cases.

POWER FEEDERS

The space savings achievable using MI or Raychem MC versus conduit and wire are huge - up to 80% space saving. In addition, the ease with which they can be pulled into difficult runs with tight corners gives them an overwhelming advantage.

LOW EMI

Electromagnetic fields from high electrical currents in equipment, bus-duct or feeders can cause interference in PC screens and sensitive electronic equipment located adjacent to the source of the EMI.

Emergency evacuation of health care facilities and other institutional buildings is no easy task. Special care must be taken when the mobility of occupants is restricted. Accordingly, building codes require that fire protection and fire alarm systems are constructed with certain precautions in mind and that they meet certain, stringent safety standards. In this area, Pyrotenax® mineral insulated cable sets the standard..."Zero smoke, Zero flame and Zero fuel contributed!"

For cable-in-conduit fire-rated solutions, Raychem RHW is a complete, engineered fire-rated system which offers fire-rated boxes, splices, ground wire and more. By using Raychem CI or Raychem CiC to create fire-rated circuits for the fire alarm system, you can gain time to allow for the safe evacuation of occupants in the event of an emergency. Similarly, 2-hour fire-rated Raychem MC can be used to deliver continued power for emergency lighting and fire-fighting efforts.
