Product Information

Full details

The LAPP 4160300 is a versatile single-core, halogen-free wiring cable designed for reliable use in dry rooms, specifically for control cabinet wiring, lighting, and distribution panels in buildings with high occupancy or valuable assets, as well as transportation systems. Its key benefit lies in its improved properties in the event of fire and its multi-standard certifications (UL MTW, CSA-HAR), offering flexibility and safety. A caveat to consider is that some harmonized European standards (HAR) may not apply to specific dimensions or single colors, so always check specifications for your exact use case.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'halogen-free' mean for this cable?

Halogen-free means the insulation material does not contain halogens (like chlorine or bromine). In the event of a fire, this significantly reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases, improving safety and reducing damage to equipment.

Can this cable be used outdoors?

No, this cable is intended for use in dry rooms and for fixed, protected installation. It is not designed for direct exposure to outdoor elements like sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations unless further protected.

What is the significance of the UL MTW and CSA-HAR certifications?

UL MTW (Machine Tool Wire) certification means it meets standards for use in industrial machinery and control systems in North America. CSA-HAR indicates compliance with European standards for wiring cables, allowing for broader international application and simplified logistics.

What is the maximum voltage rating for this cable?

The cable has an operating voltage rating of 450 V (phase-to-ground) / 750 V (phase-to-phase) and a breakdown voltage of 2500 V.

What temperature range can this cable withstand?

The LAPP 4160300 can operate within a temperature range of -40°C (minimum) to +70°C (maximum).

What are the advantages of tinned copper conductors?

Tinned copper provides excellent electrical conductivity like bare copper, but the tin coating offers enhanced resistance to oxidation and corrosion, making it more durable in certain environments and easier to solder.

Is this cable suitable for connecting appliances or power tools?

While it has UL MTW certification, it is primarily designed for fixed installations within control cabinets, switchboards, and buildings. It is not typically intended for flexible power cords for portable appliances or tools which require different flex and abrasion resistance standards.

How does the CPR certification apply to this cable?

The cable has CPR (Construction Products Regulation) certification, classified as Eca. This ensures specific performance criteria related to fire behavior are met. For definitive classification related to EU Directive 305/2011, you may need to select the specific article number on the manufacturer's website.

Troubleshooting

Cable is stiff and difficult to route

This cable is designed for flexibility due to its fine strands. If it feels unusually stiff, check if it has been exposed to extreme cold. Allow it to acclimate to room temperature. Ensure you are not trying to bend it beyond its minimum bend radius.

Conductor strands break during stripping or termination

Use a wire stripper specifically designed for fine-stranded wire (e.g., 18 AWG or 1 mm²). Ensure the stripper blades are sharp and properly adjusted. Avoid excessive force when stripping or crimping.

Poor electrical connection at termination

Ensure the terminal block is properly tightened. If using crimp connectors, verify the correct size and use an appropriate crimping tool. Check that no strands were missed or damaged during termination.

Cable does not meet a specific regional standard requirement

Verify that the specific application and region are covered by the UL MTW and/or CSA-HAR certifications. Consult the LAPP product documentation or contact support if unsure about specific clause compliance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved safety due to halogen-free and fire-resistant properties.
  • Dual certifications (UL/CSA/HAR) allow for broader application and simplified inventory.
  • High flexibility thanks to fine-stranded tinned copper conductors.
  • Durable PVC insulation suitable for a wide operating temperature range.
  • Cost-effective due to reduced need for multiple specialized cables.

Cons

  • Maximum operating temperature of +70°C may limit use in very high-temperature environments.
  • Some HAR certifications may not apply to all dimensions or color variations.
  • Not suitable for direct outdoor or exposed applications without additional protection.
  • CPR certification requires specific article number selection for verification.
  • Limited to use in dry rooms or protected installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the cable is appropriate for the intended voltage and current load based on its 450/750 V rating and 1 mm² cross-section.
  2. Strip the PVC insulation carefully using a wire stripper suitable for 18 AWG wire to avoid damaging the fine copper strands.
  3. Terminate the conductor securely into terminal blocks, crimp connectors, or other appropriate connection points.
  4. Route the cable neatly, avoiding sharp bends or excessive tension, especially in control cabinets.

Compatibility:

  • UL MTW: Compatible with North American standards for machine tool wiring and industrial control equipment.
  • CSA-HAR: Suitable for European harmonized wiring standards.
  • Environment: Designed for use in dry rooms, protected installations, and temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C.
  • Installations: Suitable for fixed and protected installation inside equipment, control cabinets, switchboards, and distribution panels.

Care:

  • Cleaning: If the cable exterior becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect installed cables for any signs of physical damage, such as nicks, cuts, or abrasion, particularly at termination points or areas subject to movement.
  • Avoid Overloading: Ensure the cable is not subjected to continuous current loads exceeding its rating for the given installation conditions.
