Issue: 1 Contract K1847-16E(A)

Replacement of Air-Cooled Chillers at MTR Stations and Depots
Rev: 0 (Sept 2016) Particular Specification

(xi) All fibre joints shall be protected by a suitable mechanical closure and conforming
to IP 65.

(xii) The joint must be air tight and waterproof without using any filling compound.

(xiii) Fibre organizer shall be provided to store excess length of fibre cores inside the joint.

(xiv) The joint shall be so designed to allow re-entry and re-use after the installation.

(xv) The Contractor shall supply, deliver and install all splicing kits and splice enclosures
necessary to complete the installation of fire-rated optical fibre cables in accordance
with the Specifications, Drawings and Contract Documents.

(xvi) The splicing kit shall not in anyway cause degradation of the optical characteristics
of the fibre and shall be sufficient to ensure a splice loss of not more than 0.1 dB.

(xvii) The Engineer shall approve details of kits and enclosures.

(c) Instrumentation & Control Cables

(i) For fire related and ECS application, the cables provided by the Contractor shall be
fire resistant which is suitable for continuously operation under 950 deg. C for 3
hours and comply with the relevant clauses of BS6387 and also the FSD
requirements, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
(ii) All cables unless otherwise specified shall be fire retardant to BS EN 50266.

(iii) LSHF, screened multicore copper cables shall be provided for the main route of the
cable containment.
(iv) Distribution panels shall be provided by the Contractor at the vicinity of the end
equipment if it is not suitable for the entry of the multicore cables.

(d) Copper Cables

(i) All cables shall comply with relevant standards including those specified in this
Specifications and Drawings. Other international standards may also be used if they
are equal to or better than the standards indicated above. The Contractor shall
indicate where deviations exist between the proposed and the specified standards
for the Engineer’s review.
(ii) Spare cores shall not be required for power cables, but all other cables shall have
0, not less than 20% or four cores whichever is greater as spare.

(iii) Armoured cables shall be employed throughout except those enclosed in conduits.
Armouring cables shall be by means of galvanized steel wire. Wire armour shall
consist of a single layer of galvanized steel wires of the size in the appropriate table
in BS6724.
0,
(iv) All signal and control cables shall have Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) finish to
BS6724 or BS7211.
(v) The number of cable joints shall be kept to the minimum to enhance system

reliability.

(e) Insulation Material Requirements

0, (i) Fire-Retardant/Halogen Free Cables

(ii) Flammability – This material shall have a minimum oxygen index of 30 when
tested in accordance with BS2782.
(iii) Corrosive and Acid Gas Emission – The level of Hydrochloric acid (HCl) of the
low smoke halogen free sheath and the insulation of the cable shall not be greater
than 0.5% when tested in accordance with the standards.

(iv) Smoke Emission – The value of the smoke generated (Ao) shall meet the
requirement of BS6724.
(v) Armoured Cable – Wire armour shall consist of a single layer of galvanized steel
wires of the size in the appropriate table in BS6724. In addition to providing
protection against accidental damage the armour shall also form a resistive barrier
against the ingress of rodents.

(f) Instrumentation, Signal and Control Cable

(i) Conductors

(1) The conductors shall be of stranded, high conductivity annealed copper wires
complying with BS EN 60228.
(2) Flexible cables and cables for fixed installations shall have stranded conductors.
(3) Conductors shall be smooth, uniform in quality, free from scale, spills, splits and
any other defects. There shall be no joints in individual strands.
(4) All signal / control copper cable shall be rated at 600/1000 V and have a minimum
area of 1.5 square mm.

(ii) Screening

(1) Screening shall be achieved by the use of laminated tape, consisting of an

aluminium foil bonded to a polyester film for the strength, applied to the cable with
an overlap so that full 100% coverage of the conductors is afforded.
(2) The cable shall be individually screened twist pair cables to provide improved cross
talk immunity characteristic if required.
(3) A drain wire or continuity conductor, laid under and in contact with the aluminium
foil shall be provided. The tinned annealed copper conductor may be of solid or
strand construction, using the approved manufacturing technique.
(4) The maximum resistance of the drain wire or continuity conductor provided shall
meet with the requirements of BS EN 60228.
