This project will develop a Guide for the selection and application of fire-retardant and arc-resistant blankets, coatings and tapes for the protection of electrical cable systems. The Guide is the third and final document in a series which provides direction in the testing and application of various systems designed to protect cables during fires and/or during exposure to electric arcs (see IEEE 817-1993 and IEEE 848-1996). The Guide describes the key parameters which should be considered in any such application, describes typical test parameters, and provides examples of the common application of each system.
