Abstract Purpose. The article is devoted to the functioning of the Center for collective use of scientific equipment of the university. This publication outlines the main goals and objectives of the Center, the directions of its research. The information on the available equipment is provided, and the scientific results of its use are presented.
Methods. Measurement of time-current characteristics of protection apparatuses and cable products, investigation of the effects of thermal radiation, synthesis of flame retardant compositions.
Findings. Fire safety of cable products can be ensured only by comparing the time-current characteristics of protection apparatuses and electrical conductors. The values of the critical heat load for various types of forest fuel in the ranges of its humidity and density are established. The flame retardant composition safe for human life and health has been synthesized.
Application field of research. The reliability of protection of cable products from fire hazardous mode of operation during the flow of electric current. The fire safety of the electrical network is assessed. The research has allowed to conduct numerical modeling of the heating and ignition of the ground cover of the forest and to develop approaches to improve fire prevention measures in the forests of Belarus. The flame retardant will reduce the number of active flame retardants and increase the safety and competitiveness of the product being developed.
Conclusions. The use of scientific equipment of the Center for Collective Use will ensure the unity and accuracy of measurements when conducting research, improving the qualifications of researchers, and attracting young scientists to develop functioning scientific schools.
