| 1. Document Purpose | |||
| This sheet describes ZR-YJV 4×16, a flame-retardant four-core distribution cable for 0.6/1 kV AC, built in the copper / XLPE / PVC family. Manufacturing follows GB/T 12706.1 / IEC 60502-1, conductors comply with GB/T 3956 / IEC 60228, and the flame class follows GB/T 19666 (ZC default). Approx. outside diameter 20.1 mm, weight ≈ 799 kg/km, on 100 m coils or drums. | |||
| The four equal cores serve three-phase-plus-neutral wiring; a balanced load keeps neutral current near zero. | |||
| 2. Conductor Detail | |||
| Each 16 mm² core uses seven 1.70 mm annealed copper wires stranded round — 7/1.70 Class 2 — at ≈ 5.10 mm diameter. Maximum DC resistance per core is 1.15 Ω/km at 20 °C. The stranded build keeps the cable pliable for trays, conduits and switchboard tails. | |||
| 3. Insulation Detail | |||
| A 0.7 mm cross-linked polyethylene layer covers each core, taking the diameter over insulation to ≈ 6.50 mm. XLPE allows 90 °C continuous running, 250 °C for five seconds under fault, volume resistivity of at least 1×10¹² Ω·cm, and a routine 3.5 kV AC, five-minute test. | |||
| 4. Core Assembly & Sheath | |||
| Four insulated cores are stranded around a central dry filler to a round bundle of ≈ 15.7 mm, then bound with tape. A 1.8 mm flame-retarded PVC (ST2) jacket closes the cable at ≈ 20.1 mm. ZC fire performance is proven by GB/T 18380.12 and GB/T 18380.35; the PVC contains halogen, so WDZ-YJY is specified where zero halogen is demanded. | |||
| 5. Application & Care | |||
| • Keep bends ≥ 15 × OD. • Execute the DC 4U0 = 2.4 kV / 15 min site test before switching on. • Ambient −20 to +45 °C; warm the reels if pulling below 0 °C. • Derate for ambient, grouping and burial — figures are whole-cable ratings. • Fit terminations matched to the ≈ 5.10 mm core. |
8. Verification. Routine: resistance, 3.5 kV/5 min, construction check (ins. ≥ 0.7 mm, sheath ≥ 1.8 mm). Sample: XLPE hot-set (200 ± 3 °C / 15 min / 0.2 MPa). Type: flame + bending. Site: DC 4U0 = 2.4 kV / 15 min (Q/GDW 13244.1-2018).
