PMA® FLEXIBLE PROTECTION SYSTEM FIRE BARRIER SOLUTIONS

For maximum safety in rail applications

PMA® FIRE BARRIER SOLUTIONS FOR THE RAIL INDUSTRY

Three flexible fire protection solutions, offering total planning and installation flexibility. For use in rail applications, PMA has developed novel, innovative, EN 45545-3 compliant fire barrier solutions for combination with its proven cable protection Systems.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

<p>ABB's PMA fire barrier solutions are engineered to maintain the integrity of fire walls where cables pass through, meeting EN 45545-3 requirements for rail and heavy industrial applications.</p>

Fire mitigation

<p>Intumescent adapter material swells to up to 40 times its original volume in the event of a fire, sealing all cavities to block the transport of fire, heat and smoke between compartments for up to 30 minutes per EN 45545-3</p>

Safe

<p>Three solution types cover all rail installation scenarios — underfloor, passenger area, luggage compartment and technical cabinets — providing passengers and crew with valuable additional evacuation time</p>

Easy installation

<p>Push-in assembly for the adapter and fitting solutions requires no special tools, and adapters are available in sizes M16 to M63 to adapt to any wall structure for simple and reliable assembly</p>

Versatile

<p>PMA adapter solution (E30), strain relief fittings with fire-resistant clamping elements (E15) and Roxtec-compatible wall transit adapters (up to E60) provide a scalable solution to match any fire protection requirement</p>

Reliable

<p>All solutions maintain conduit pull-out strength and structural integrity under fire conditions, with screwdriver-required dismantling on strain relief fittings to prevent accidental or unauthorized opening</p>

Compliant

<p>Certifications include EN 45545-3 (E15, E30 and E60 ratings), EN 45545-2 HL3, NFPA 130, RoHS and REACH</p>
