| 8. Selection Guide — When FR Matters | ||
| Scenario | Recommended Cable | Reason |
| Flame-retardant, halogenated acceptable (standard) | ZR-YJV 3×120+1×70 mm² (this cable) | Class C FR, PVC sheath, cost-effective |
| Low-smoke halogen-free required (LSZH) | WDZ-YJY 3×120+1×70 | LSZH sheath — IEC 61034 / IEC 60754 compliant |
| Fire-survival circuit (circuit integrity) | NH-ZR-YJV / WDZN-YJY 3×120+1×70 | BS 6387 / IEC 60331 fire-survival grade |
| Heavy mechanical load / direct burial | ZR-YJV22 3×120+1×70 | Steel tape armour for impact / road crossing |
| Separate PE + N required | 5-core cable (e.g. 5×50 or 4×120+1×70) | 3+1 has no separate PE |
| Notes | ||
| 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. 3×120+1×70 mm² = three 120 mm² phase cores (L1+L2+L3) + one 70 mm² neutral (N), total 4 cores (3+1); neutral is reduced in size. Current ratings (≈ 435 A air / ≈ 435 A buried) are design values; apply grouping, ambient temperature, soil thermal resistivity and IEC 60364-5-52 correction factors. | ||
| 4. For LSZH → WDZ-YJY 3×120+1×70; for fire-survival → NH-ZR-YJV / WDZN-YJY 3×120+1×70; for armour → ZR-YJV22 3×120+1×70; for separate PE → use 5-core. | ||
| 5. DC resistance phase ≤ 0.153 Ω/km, neutral ≤ 0.268 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. | ||
7. Installation & Care. Minimum bend ≥ 15 × OD (≈ 596 mm); commissioning DC test 4U0 = 2.4 kV / 15 min before first energisation (Q/GDW 13244.1-2018); warm drums below 0 °C before pulling; max pulling tension ≤ 5000 N; derate the 380/360 A references for ambient, grouping and soil; fit lugs and glands sized for the 14.4 mm phase core, 10.7 mm neutral core and 39.7 mm jacket; verify short-circuit rating against protective device settings.
8. Application. Heavy three-phase four-wire distribution, transformer secondaries, large building mains and industrial feeders requiring a dedicated neutral conductor in a single cable (TN-C style) — conduit, tray, trench, duct, trunking, direct burial; indoor or sheltered outdoor.
