Technical Datasheet — ZC-YJV 0.6/1 kV 1×16 mm²

1. Cable Designation & Meaning

2. Applicable Standards

• GB/T 12706.1-2020​ (equivalent to IEC 60502-1) — Extruded insulation power cables ≤ 1 kV
• GB/T 3956 / IEC 60228​ — Conductors (Class 2)

关键参数已核实,16mm² 有几个重要差异点必须先说明(与前面 120/185 大截面不同):

• 绝缘标称厚度 = 0.7 mm(GB/T 12706.1,10/16 mm² 档)——这是正确值.注:部分招标文件把 PVC/XLPE 分开规定,XLPE 16mm² 为 0.7 mm
• 护套标称厚度 = 1.4 mm(单芯 16mm²,1.5–35 mm² 档均取 1.4)
• 导体 = Class 2 绞合铜,7×∅1.70 mm(16mm² ≤35mm² 可实心/绞合,GB/T 3956 最少 7 根)
• 导体直流电阻 ≤1.15 Ω/km(20℃,GB/T 3956 Class 2)
• 外径 ≈ 9.3 mm,重量 ≈ 201–221 kg/km(多家样本一致,ZC-YJV 约 214)
• 载流量:空气中 ≈ 100–115 A(30℃单根单芯),直埋 ≈ 125 A(20℃)——注意:单芯 16mm² 直埋反而高于空气中(典型样本表值 125/99 铜)

10. Scope of Application / Usage Range

The ZC-YJV 0.6/1 kV 1×16 mm²​ cable is intended for fixed installation​ in low-voltage power distribution & transmission systems up to 1.2 kV system voltage, where basic flame-retardant (Class C)​ performance is required but fire-survival (fire-resistant)​ function is not mandated.

Typical applicable locations:

• Indoor power distribution rooms, switchboards, distribution boxes, and final sub-circuits
• Cable trays, cable ducts, cable trenches & shafts in residential, commercial and public buildings
• Lighting branch circuits and small-to-medium power equipment feeders​ (16 mm² is a standard size for lighting/utility circuits)
• Fixed wiring in industrial plants, warehouses, and machinery feeders
• Direct buried routes in non-aggressive soil with low mechanical impact
• Street lighting, small PV/combiner and EV charger branch circuits (DC side requires polarity check)
• High-rise buildings, metro/station auxiliary power, general civil projects requiring ZC flame-retardant grade​

Not suitable for:

• Heavy tensile / armour-protected routes → use YJV22 / ZC-YJV22
• Fire-survival emergency circuits → use NH-ZC-YJV
• Highly corrosive / hydrocarbon-rich environments without extra barrier
• Magnetic conduit AC single-core runs​ (eddy-current risk)
• Long high-current feeders where voltage drop / 105 A limit governs (upsize to 25 mm²+)

11. Packing

• Drum:​ Steel-wooden drum; common length 100–1000 m per drum (16 mm² flexible, long continuous lengths typical)
• HS code (China):​ 8544 4921 (LV power cable, PVC sheath)

Key engineering notes for 16 mm²

1. Insulation is only 0.7 mm​ — the same as 1.5 mm². This is correct per GB/T 12706.1 (the 10/16 mm² class). Do not apply the 1.2/1.6 mm values from 120/185 mm².
2. Sheath is 1.4 mm​ (not 1.5/1.7 mm) — single-core 1.5–35 mm² share this value .
3. Conductor is 7×1.70 mm​ for stranded (Class 2); solid Class 1 is also permitted for 16 mm² ≤ 35 mm² .
4. Design current: ≈ 100 A (air) / ≈ 115–125 A (buried)​ — always apply correction for grouping, ambient temperature, and conduit fill; for a 30 kW motor (≈54 A) at 200 m, 16 mm² gives voltage drop ≈ 2.4 V (well within 19 V limit) .
5. ZC ≠ NH:​ ZC is flame-retardant only, not fire-survival. For emergency/life-safety circuits, use NH-ZC-YJV.
