In one of the projects we need to install 132 kV underground cable of circuit length = 600 mtrs. The Consultant’s specification calls for fire retardant cable.
The cable will be installed underground, at a depth of 1200 mm. The cable is exposed for few meters at both ends at the terminations. The Contractor finds it difficult to get a fire retardant cable. Instead of fire retardant cable, he is ready to apply fire retardant coating (like paint). I would like to know your views and experience in this area.
