Leading corporations in the low voltage cables and accessories market are concentrating their efforts on creating low smoke zero halogen (LS0H) electrical cables, aiming to improve fire safety by minimizing harmful emissions during combustion. LS0H electrical cables are a variety of cable that, when set ablaze, gives off minimal smoke and no dangerous halogen gases like chlorine or fluorine. These cables are fully devoid of halogens, thus not producing hazardous gases during a fire, thereby markedly improving safety during emergency situations. For example, in June 2024, RR Kabel Ltd, an Indian cable firm, introduced its pioneering house wire solution, Firex LS0H-EBXL. This pioneering technology enables the wire to endure extreme heat, up to 900°C, rendering it perfect for use in high-risk setups. The wire boasts an over 85% increase in short-circuit temperature endurance capacity, delivering a safety upgrade that's ten times greater compared to traditional alternatives.
