Abstract: Regarding the issue of cable fires, this paper comprehensively reviews the fire source simulation methods used in cable fire simulation tests and cable combustion tests. These fire source simulation methods are discussed from aspects of the ignition time, fire source temperature, fire source area, fire power, scalability, removability and sustainability. The gas burner method and the radiant heating method (cone calorimeter) have a short ignition time; The electric heating method has high fire source temperature, and it is easy to operate and move; The fuel ignition method has a large ignition area and strong scalability; The arc ignition method has the highest temperature and strong controllability. The paper is expected to provide an important reference for cable fire simulation and fire protection.
