According to user requirements, the product can also be manufactured in accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, British Standards (BS), German Standards (DIN), or American Standards (ASTM).


Application Scope

This product is suitable for fixed installation in power distribution networks or industrial installations with AC rated voltage up to 0.6/1kV. Typical application environments include:

• Indoor installation: Distribution lines inside buildings such as residential houses, office buildings, and shopping centers.
• Tunnels and cable trenches: Suitable for municipal tunnels and underground cable channels.
• Direct burial: Armored types allow direct burial installation and are suitable for outdoor cable routes.


Note:

Single-core cables shall not be installed in magnetic conduits. Single-core armored cables are used for DC systems only. If used in AC systems, non-magnetic armoring materials or magnetic isolation measures must be applied.


Operating Characteristics

• Rated Voltage:
The power frequency rated voltage U0/U is 0.6/1kV.

• Operating Temperature:
The maximum permissible long-term operating temperature of the cable conductor is 70°C.

• Short-Circuit Temperature:
During a short circuit (maximum duration not exceeding 5 seconds), the conductor temperature shall not exceed 160°C.

• Installation Temperature:
The ambient temperature during cable installation shall not be lower than 0°C.

• Minimum Bending Radius:
The cable bending radius shall not be less than 15 times the cable outer diameter.

• Flame-Retardant Performance:
PVC material itself has flame-retardant properties. According to application requirements, flame-retardant, fire-resistant, or low-smoke halogen-free cable types can be provided.


Cable Structure

The product structure adopts a layered protective design to support stable and safe operation during long-term service:

1. Conductor: High-purity copper or aluminum conductor compliant with GB/T 3956, providing reliable electrical conductivity.
2. Insulation: PVC insulation layer with stable insulation resistance and voltage withstand performance.
3. Filling: Non-hygroscopic filling materials used to maintain cable roundness.
4. Binding Tape: Non-woven tape wrapping used to secure the cable cores.
5. Inner Sheath (Optional): Used to isolate the armored layer from insulated cores.
6. Armoring Layer (Optional): Steel tape armoring for compression resistance or steel wire armoring for tensile strength.
7. Outer Sheath: PVC or PE sheath, providing resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and environmental exposure.


Main Technical Parameters
