| Scenario | Recommended Cable | Reason |
| Flame-retardant, halogenated acceptable (standard) | ZR-YJV 5×35 (this cable) | Class C FR, PVC sheath, cost-effective |
| Low-smoke halogen-free required (LSZH) | WDZ-YJY 5×35 | LSZH sheath — IEC 61034 / IEC 60754 compliant |
| Fire-survival circuit (circuit integrity) | NH-ZR-YJV 5×35 / WDZN-YJY 5×35 | BS 6387 / IEC 60331 fire-survival grade |
| Heavy mechanical load / direct burial risk | ZR-YJV22 5×35 | Steel-tape armoured version |

| 1. ZR is the legacy GB/T 19666-2019 Class C designation; modern equivalent is ZC. Class C: char ≤ 2.5 m after bunched flame test (GB/T 18380.3). | ||
| 2. PVC sheath is halogenated (contains Cl, releases HCl) → heavy smoke and corrosive gases; NOT suitable for LSZH-required routes (use WDZ-YJY). | ||
| 3. 5×35 mm² = L1+L2+L3+N+PE (separate neutral and protective earth), all cores equal size 35 mm². This cable is for fixed LV distribution ≤ 1.2 kV. | ||
| 4. Current ratings (≈102 A air / ≈125 A buried) are design values; apply grouping, ambient temperature, soil thermal resistivity and IEC 60364-5-52 correction factors. | ||
| 5. For LSZH → WDZ-YJY 5×35; for fire-survival → NH-ZR-YJV / WDZN-YJY 5×35; for armour → ZR-YJV22 5×35. | ||
7. Installation & Care. Bend ≥ 15 × OD; DC site test 4U0 = 2.4 kV / 15 min before energising (Q/GDW 13244.1-2018); pre-heat drums below 0 °C; de-rate 125/155 A for ambient, grouping, burial; lugs/glands for the 7.6 mm core and 29.7 mm sheath.
8. Application. Main distribution feeders, motor circuits and installations requiring a dedicated PE (earthing) core in one cable (TN-S style) — conduit, tray, trench, duct, trunking; indoor or sheltered outdoor.
9. Ordering. ZR-YJV 0.6/1 kV 5×35 + length/drum + marking; confirm against factory test certificate.
