Spanish translation:no ignífugas

Explanation:
"Instalaciones eléctricas no ignífugas"

Anti-llama o ignífugo (flameproof) no es lo mismo que "a prueba de fuego".

Los cables encerrados en cañerías no apropiadas, y cables mal dimensionados incrementan el riesgo de incendio. Cañerías plásticas saturadas y cables no ignífugos o con aislación altamente inflamable es la receta perfecta para un incendio

non-flameproof sin protección contra el fuego / desprotegidas del fuego

Explanation:
Hola, creo que podría decirse "instalaciones eléctricas sin protección contra el fuego / desprotegidas del fuego" puesto que en las guías de seguridad se mencionan los "métodos de protección" en "instalaciones eléctricas especiales en ambientes con riesgo de incendio y explosión".

Entiendo que es protección contra el fuego que se pueda originar en las instalaciones eléctricas.
