2nd electrical cable recall – Ecables CCA power cables
A serious fire and electrical shock risk have led to the recall of Ecables Copper Clad Aluminium RE110 insulated power cables. The cables were used in mostly larger-scale applications such as apartment buildings, hotels, and commercial installations.
The insulation of the recalled electrical cables, used in Australia between Jan 2012 and June 2014, was shown under testing to fail at temperatures well below its rating. This failure could leave live conductors exposed presenting a very serious fire, electrical injury, and electrocution hazards.
