Study on Ignition Capability of Overloaded Wire to the Wool Fabric

In order to check the overloaded wire's ignition capability to the wool fabric, different multiples overloaded current were selected as the main parameter, and meanwhile, the thickness of the wool fabric and the contact way were considered as well in this study. Moreover, the temperature's rising law and the ignition of the wool fabric under different ignition conditions were obtained. The result showed that the thicker the wool fabric, the more susceptible to be ignited. It also has been found that it takes shorter time to be ignited when the overloaded current is greater and the contact way is wrapping. The conclusion of this paper would provide guidance for investigation on fires related with overloaded wire and the wool fabric.
