Electrical wires and cables have been identified as a potential source of fire in residential
buildings, nuclear power plants, aircraft, and spacecraft. This work reviews the recent …

This paper reveals experimentally the flame spread rate (FSR)[both upward (concurrently)
and downward (opposed)] over electric wire with high thermal conductivity metal core at …

Dripping of polymer insulations in wire fire has a potential risk of igniting nearby objects and
expanding the size of fire, but has not been well studied so far. In this experimental study …

This paper introduces fire safety standards for flammability evaluation of solid material
intended for use in a spacecraft habitat. Two types of existing standards include material …

In electrical wires with insulations that burn and melt, the dripping of molten insulation can
change the wire fire behavior, ignite nearby objects, and enhance the fire spread. Dripping …

The dripping behavior of the molten thermoplastic insulation of copper wire, induced by
flame spread under overload currents, was investigated for a better understanding of …

The effect of electric field on the characteristics of flame spread along a polyethylene (PE)
insulated electrical wire was investigated experimentally by varying the AC frequency and …

Flame spread over polyethylene-insulated electrical wires was studied experimentally with
applied alternating current (AC) by varying the inclination angle (θ), applied voltage (V AC) …

Abstract Effect of the thickness of polyethylene (PE) insulator on flame spread over electrical
wire with high thermal conductivity of Cu-core is experimentally investigated by varying the …

With the development of the social economy and the improvement of electrification, cables
and wires play an important role in people's lives and industrial development. Meanwhile …
