| 8. Selection Guide — When FR Matters | ||
| Scenario | Recommended Cable | Reason |
| Flame-retardant, halogenated acceptable (standard) | ZR-YJV 3×10+1×6 mm² (this cable) | Class C FR, PVC sheath, cost-effective |
| Low-smoke halogen-free required (LSZH) | WDZ-YJY 3×10+1×6 | LSZH sheath — IEC 61034 / IEC 60754 compliant |
| Fire-survival circuit (circuit integrity) | NH-ZR-YJV / WDZN-YJY 3×10+1×6 | BS 6387 / IEC 60331 fire-survival grade |
| 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. 3×10+1×6 mm² = three 10 mm² phase cores (L1+L2+L3) + one 6 mm² neutral (N), total 4 cores (3+1); neutral is reduced in size. Current ratings (≈50 A air / ≈62 A buried) are design values; apply grouping, ambient temperature, soil thermal resistivity and IEC 60364-5-52 correction factors. | ||
| 4. For LSZH → WDZ-YJY 3×10+1×6; for fire-survival → NH-ZR-YJV / WDZN-YJY 3×10+1×6; for armour → ZR-YJV22 3×10+1×6; for separate PE → use 5-core (e.g. 5×10). | ||
| 5. DC resistance phase ≤ 1.83 Ω/km, neutral ≤ 3.08 Ω/km (GB/T 3956 Class 2 max). Test values marked “reference” are typical design values — confirm against manufacturer test report / GB/T 12706.1-2020. | ||
5. 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 70/90 A for ambient, grouping, burial; lugs/glands for the 4.05 mm phase core, 3.12 mm neutral core and 15.4 mm sheath.

6. Application. Three-phase four-wire distribution, building mains and light industrial feeders where a dedicated neutral conductor is required in one cable (TN-C style) — conduit, tray, trench, duct, trunking; indoor or sheltered outdoor.

7. Ordering. ZR-YJV 0.6/1 kV 3×10+1×6 + length/drum + marking; confirm against factory test certificate.
