- Abstract
- Experiments were conducted to establish data on the sensitivity of the results to variations of several parameters of the vertical cable tray fire test described in the IEEE Standard 383. Parameters varied were burner-to-cable distance, air input rate and fuel input rate. As a result of these experiments and previous experience, suggestions for revision of IEEE 383 are made with respect to (1) construction of cable trays, (2) test enclosure, (3) type, size and spacing of cable ties, (4) burner position, (5) measurement of fuel and air rates, (6) flame temperature, (7) initial room temperature, and (8) reporting of results.
