Construction Description

 

Construction Description — ZC-YJV 4×50 mm² (LV power cable)
Layer-by-layer LV power cable build-up · 4 compacted Cu Class 2 cores (7×3.0) / XLPE insulation (90 °C) / PVC bedding / PVC outer sheath (ST2) · 0.6/1 kV · ZC C-class flame-retardant · finished Ø ≈ 28.5 mm
1. Product Identity & Ratings
ZC-YJV 4×50 is the C-class flame-retardant version of YJV — a flame-retardant XLPE-insulated PVC-sheathed LV power cable rated 0.6/1 kV (Um=1.2 kV) at 50 Hz, built and tested per GB/T 12706.1 / IEC 60502-1. It has 4 colour-coded cores (red/yellow/blue), each 50 mm² compacted stranded copper (Class 2, 7×3.0 mm), insulated with 1.4 mm XLPE (90 °C rated), laid up with PVC bedding, and enclosed in a 2.0 mm PVC outer sheath (ST2, black). Unlike BV (single-core PVC 70 °C building wire), YJV uses XLPE insulation (90 °C), has 4 power cores, and is designed for high-current distribution. Finished Ø ≈ 28.5 mm, mass ≈ 2380 kg/km, supplied on wooden drums in 100 m lengths.
2. Compacted Stranded Copper Conductors (4 cores)
Each of the 4 cores uses 7 strands of 3.0 mm annealed copper wire, compacted to a near-circular bundle (Class 2 per GB/T 3956), giving a maximum DC resistance of 0.387 Ω/km per core at 20 °C. The 4 cores are colour-coded: red (L1), yellow (L2), blue (L3 and N). The compacted conductor reduces the overall cable diameter compared with a non-compacted bundle. Always use Cu compression lugs for 50 mm² terminations.
3. XLPE Insulation (90 °C rated)
Each core is insulated with 1.4 mm of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), rated for 90 °C continuous conductor temperature (up to 250 °C for ≤ 5 s short-circuit). XLPE has much better thermal and electrical properties than PVC — it can carry more current for the same cross-section, has higher dielectric strength, and lower insulation resistance. This is the key difference from BV (PVC 70 °C).
4. PVC Bedding & Outer Sheath
The 4 insulated cores are laid up in a triangular formation with PVC bedding and binder tape to ensure roundness. The cable is then enclosed in a 2.0 mm PVC outer sheath (ST2, black), which provides mechanical protection and is flame-retardant to ZC (C-class). The ZC designation means the cable passes the bunched cable flame test (GB/T 18380.35 class C) — char length ≤ 2.5 m.
5. Site Handling & Operational Notes
• Lay in tray, trench, duct, conduit, or indoor/outdoor fixed installations.  • Observe the 15 × OD minimum bend radius (≈ 430 mm) for fixed installation.  • Service range -20 to +45 °C; conductor up to 90 °C continuous.  • Routine test 3.5 kV AC / 5 min between cores.  • DC site test 4U0 = 2.4 kV / 15 min before energising.  • PVC sheath contains halogen — use WDZ-YJY for LSZH.  • At about 2380 kg/km, the cable is supplied on wooden drums.  • Use Cu compression lugs for 50 mm² terminations.  • ZC = C-class flame-retardant for bunched cable installations.

 

8. Standards & Conformity. GB/T 12706.1 / IEC 60502-1 (LV XLPE power cables); GB/T 3956 (Class 2 compacted conductors); GB/T 19666 / GB/T 18380.35 (ZC C-class flame retardancy). Rated 0.6/1 kV LV power distribution.

 

9. Packaging, Storage & Logistics. 100 m per wooden drum. Continuous marking: ZC-YJV, 4×50, 0.6/1 kV, GB/T 12706.1, supplier identity, production year, metre marks. Store dry, indoor, 0 to +40 °C, protect from UV.

10. Procurement Specification. State "ZC-YJV 0.6/1 kV 4×50" + length/drum + marking; confirm against factory test certificate. Use Cu compression lugs for 50 mm². For LSZH, specify WDZ-YJY 4×50 instead.

 

11. Cable Industry FAQ.

  • Q1: What is the difference between YJV and BV? YJV uses XLPE insulation (90 °C, 0.6/1 kV, multi-core power cable for distribution). BV uses PVC insulation (70 °C, 450/750 V, single-core building wire for conduit). YJV is for high-current power; BV is for low-current building wiring.
  • Q2: What does "ZC" mean? ZC = C-class flame-retardant per GB/T 19666 / GB/T 18380.35. The cable passes the bunched vertical flame test at class C (char length ≤ 2.5 m). ZA and ZB are higher classes; ZC is the most common for general LV distribution.
  • Q3: Why XLPE instead of PVC? XLPE can run at 90 °C continuous (vs PVC 70 °C), so a 50 mm² XLPE cable carries ~175 A vs ~130 A for PVC. XLPE also has better dielectric strength and lower insulation loss.
  • Q4: Can YJV be buried directly? Unarmored YJV should be laid in trench, duct, or conduit. For direct burial, use YJV22 (steel tape armored) or YJV32 (steel wire armored).
  • Q5: What is YJV22? YJV22 adds a double steel tape armor layer between the bedding and outer sheath, providing crush protection for direct burial and underground installations.
  • Q6: What is the difference between YJV and YJLV? YJV uses copper conductors. YJLV uses aluminum conductors (lighter, cheaper, lower ampacity). For the same cross-section, aluminum has higher resistance.
  • Q7: Why is the routine test 3.5 kV and not 2 kV? For 0.6/1 kV cables, the power-frequency withstand test is 3.5 kV (3.5×U0), vs 2.0 kV for 300/500 V control cables. Higher rated voltage requires higher test voltage.
  • Q8: Can YJV be used outdoors? YJV's black PVC sheath is UV-resistant enough for sheltered outdoor use, but for long-term direct outdoor exposure, use a UV-stabilized sheath or armored cable.
  • Q9: What size lugs do I need for 50 mm²? Use 50 mm² copper compression lugs (Cu tubular terminals), crimped with a hydraulic crimper. Always inspect crimp quality.
  • Q10: What is the minimum bending radius? 15 × OD for fixed installation (≈ 430 mm for 28.5 mm cable), 20 × OD for flexible installation. This is much larger than BV (4×OD) because YJV is a large multi-core power cable.
  • Q11: How do I choose between YJV and RVV? RVV is 300/500 V control/lamp cable (PVC, 70 °C, small cross-sections). YJV is 0.6/1 kV power distribution cable (XLPE, 90 °C, large cross-sections for high current). Different voltage and current ranges.
