Cable Structure:
| 1. Overall Construction | |||
| The ZR-YJV 1×35 cable is a single-core, flame-retardant power cable rated 0.6/1 kV (Um = 1.2 kV) for 50 Hz power distribution. It consists of three concentric layers built around a stranded copper conductor: an XLPE insulation layer and a flame-retardant PVC outer sheath. Design, dimensions and test requirements follow GB/T 12706.1 and IEC 60502-1; the conductor complies with GB/T 3956 / IEC 60228. | |||
| Approximate overall diameter: 11.8–12.0 mm; approximate cable weight: 350–357 kg/km (representative 357 kg/km). The cable is intended for fixed installation in conduits, trays, trenches, tunnels and ducts. | |||
| 2. Conductor (Layer 1 — Innermost) | |||
| Material: plain annealed copper (Cu). Construction: normally Class 2 round-stranded with 7 wires of 2.52 mm diameter (7/2.52), giving a nominal cross-section of 35 mm². The stranded design keeps the cable flexible during installation while providing low electrical resistance: maximum DC resistance ≤ 0.524 Ω/km at 20 °C. Approximate conductor diameter: 7.0 mm (7.0–7.6 mm per manufacturer tables). |
| 3. Insulation (Layer 2) | |||
| Material: cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), applied as a 0.9 mm layer over the conductor (diameter over insulation ≈ 8.8 mm). Cross-linking transforms the thermoplastic compound into a thermoset material, which raises the maximum continuous conductor temperature to 90 °C and the short-circuit temperature to 250 °C (≤ 5 s). XLPE provides high dielectric strength, excellent insulation resistance (≥ 10¹² Ω·cm volume resistivity at 20 °C) and low dielectric losses; the finished cable withstands a routine AC test of 3.5 kV for 5 minutes. | |||
| 4. Outer Sheath (Layer 3 — Outermost) | |||
| Material: flame-retardant polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ST2 type, black, applied as a 1.4 mm sheath (overall diameter ≈ 12.0 mm). The sheath provides mechanical protection and moisture resistance and gives the cable its “ZR” flame-retardant property — flame-retardant class ZC per GB/T 19666, passing the single-cable vertical flame test (GB/T 18380.12) and the class-C bunched flame test (GB/T 18380.35, char extent ≤ 2.5 m). Note: PVC is halogen-containing; for low-smoke, zero-halogen requirements select WDZ-YJY. | |||
| 5. Construction Features & Installation Notes | |||
| • Single core, 35 mm² nominal section; weight ≈ 357 kg/km; standard delivery 100 m per coil/drum. • Minimum bending radius for single-core laying: 20 × OD. • Installation ambient temperature not below 0 °C (pre-heat the cable if colder). • Working ambient range −20 to +45 °C. • Confirm final values against the factory quality certificate and GB/T 12706.1 / IEC 60502-1 test reports. |
6. Usage Precautions
- Install only when ambient ≥ 0 °C; pre-heat the cable if colder.
- Min. bending radius 20 × OD — avoid sharp bends and kinking.
- ZR-YJV contains halogen (PVC); for LSZH requirements choose WDZ-YJY.
- Ampacity must be derated for grouping, ambient temperature and burial conditions.
- Perform the site DC test only after verifying insulation integrity; avoid prolonged overvoltage.
- Store on drums/coils, away from direct sunlight and mechanical damage.
7. Application Range
Indoor/outdoor distribution and branch circuits at 0.6/1 kV in industrial plants, commercial buildings, residential complexes, substations and similar installations — in conduits, trays, trenches, tunnels and ducts; suitable where flame-retardant performance is required (not for direct sunlight exposure unless UV-protected).
