Product Structure Introduction — ZR-YJV 2×16 mm² (English)
Two-core layered construction description, from conductor to outer sheath · per GB/T 12706.1 & IEC 60502-1 · CU / XLPE / PVC · 0.6/1 kV
 
1. Purpose of Document
This document describes the build and function of ZR-YJV 2×16, a flame-retardant two-core cable for 0.6/1 kV AC circuits. It is manufactured and tested to GB/T 12706.1 / IEC 60502-1, with conductors per GB/T 3956 / IEC 60228 and the ZR (default ZC) fire mark per GB/T 19666. Approximate outer diameter 17.3 mm, mass ≈ 461 kg/km, standard 100 m coils or drums.
The two identical cores carry live current; the cable is for fixed installations and must not be used as a trailing lead.
 
2. Conductor Elements
Each core uses seven annealed copper wires of 1.7 mm (7/1.7) stranded to Class 2, for a nominal 16 mm² and a core diameter of ≈ 5.1 mm. DC resistance at 20 °C stays within 1.15 Ω/km per core. The stranded bundle gives the core enough flexibility for pulling through conduit runs of moderate length.
 
3. Insulation Elements
XLPE is applied over each core at 0.7 mm, taking the diameter over insulation to ≈ 6.5 mm. Cross-linking turns the material into a thermoset rated for 90 °C continuous and 250 °C for five seconds under fault, with volume resistivity ≥ 1×10¹² Ω·cm and a mandatory 3.5 kV AC, 5-minute routine test.
 
4. Cabling & Jacket
The two insulated cores are cabled together with a non-hygroscopic filler (optional binder tape) into a round core of ≈ 13 mm. Over this, a 1.8 mm flame-retardant PVC (ST2) sheath is extruded to close the cable at ≈ 17.3 mm. The jacket delivers the ZC rating, demonstrated by GB/T 18380.12 (single burn) and GB/T 18380.35 (class C, char ≤ 2.5 m). PVC is halogen-bearing; WDZ-YJY is the LSZH variant.

 

9. Duty & Placement. Single-phase feeders, L+N circuits, appliance and small-motor supplies, control and panel wiring at 0.6/1 kV — conduits, trays, trunking, trenches; indoor or sheltered outdoor.

D (lowest) ZD- 0.5 ≤2.5 m
3. Test Items & Technical Requirements (Class C)
Test item / Standard Class C limit Result Remark
Bunched flame propagation, GB/T 18380.3 / IEC 60332-3-24, Category C Char height ≤2.5 m above burner; flame ≤20 min Pass (typical)* Core test for ZR/YJV
Single-flame propagation, GB/T 18380.1 / IEC 60332-1-2 Self-extinguishing; no re-ignition Pass (typical)* Per core
Non-metallic volume of test specimen ≥1.5 L/m (Category C) ≈1.5 L/m FR-PVC sheath + FR filler
After-flame time (t₁ + t₂) ≤60 min total Pass (typical)* —
pH value of gas (IEC 60754-1/2)* pH ≥4.3 (reference only) Not certified (PVC) *PVC contains Cl; reference / not mandatory for plain ZR(C)
Conductivity of gas (IEC 60754-2)* ≤10 µS/mm (reference only) Not certified (PVC) * Reference only for ZR(C)
Acid (halogen) gas emission (IEC 60754)* Low halogen (reference) Not certified (PVC) * HCl released on burning
Smoke density, transmittance (GB/T 17651 / IEC 61034)* ≥60 % (reference only) Not certified (PVC) * Heavy dark smoke; use WDZ for ≥60 %
Oxygen index (LOI), GB/T 2406 LOI ≥32 % (typical) ≥32 % (typical) FR-PVC formulation
Flame-retardant filler / binder FR PP/PE filler + FR tape present Yes ZC grade
4. Important Notes
1. ZR is a legacy prefix for flame-retardant; under GB/T 19666-2019 it defaults to Class C (modern equivalent: ZC). Thus ZR-YJV ≈ ZC-YJV.
2. Items marked * (pH, conductivity, halogen/smoke, transmittance) are REFERENCE / NOT CERTIFIED for plain ZR (Class C) because the PVC sheath contains chlorine and releases HCl. These are not mandatory limits for ZR(C).
3. ZR-YJV = flame-retardant ONLY. It is NOT halogen-free (use WDZ-YJY) and NOT fire-survival / circuit-integrity (use NH-ZR-YJV with mica tape, 830 °C / 90 min).
4. Selection logic: flame-retardant only → ZR-YJV (this product, lowest cost); FR + halogen-free low-smoke → WDZ-YJY; FR + fire-survival → NH-ZR-YJV.
5. For 2x16, sheath = 1.8 mm (multi-core rule), insulation = 0.7 mm (10/16 mm² class). Conductors: 2 x (7x2.05 mm) copper.

 

10. Procurement. ZR-YJV 0.6/1 kV 2×16, length, coil/drum type, marking. Standard 100 m; confirm all figures against the factory certificate.
