View MoreProduct Overview AP1000 nuclear power plant inside-containment EPR insulated thermoset sheathed LSZH flame-retardant cable is a special nuclear-grade cable designed for the AP1000 third-generation nuclear power plant. The interior of the containment involves extremely complex environments with high-dose nuclear radiation, high temperature, high pressure, and potential LOCA (loss-of-coolant accident) conditions, requiring the highest safety grade for cable materials and structural design. The cable uses ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) as insulation material, with outstanding radiation resistance and thermal stability far exceeding ordinary materials. The sheath uses special thermoset LSZH flame-retardant polyolefin, which effectively prevents flame spread during fire or extreme accidents, produces extremely low smoke, and releases no halogen acid gases, ensuring operational safety and environmental compatibility in the nuclear plant core area.

Core Technical Parameters
- Rated voltage: 300/500V, 0.6/1kV, and 6/10kV
- Environmental resistance:
- Radiation resistance: Special material modification for long-term high-dose gamma radiation in containment
- Flame-retardant: Grade A bundled burning; excellent self-extinguishing
- LSZH: Transmittance >= 60%; halogen-free; gas corrosivity extremely low
- Max long-term conductor temperature: 90°C
Cable Structure
- High-performance EPR insulation: Better flexibility and partial discharge resistance than XLPE; adapts to complex nuclear building wiring
- Thermoset sheath: Cross-linked; non-molten state under fire high-temperature; maintains cable physical structure integrity
- Multi-layer isolation shielding: High-coverage copper braid or wrapped shielding for EMI isolation in DCS systems
Application Areas
- AP1000 nuclear island interior: Main pumps, safety valves, reactor monitoring instruments, emergency spray systems
- Emergency safety systems (1E class): Safety shutdown, decay heat removal, and accident consequence mitigation circuits
Reliability
Materials have excellent chemical stability and anti-aging properties; passed dry and wet heat aging tests; with specific installation requirements for containment, they meet cable safety requirements over the nuclear plant operating life, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency.
