Construction Description
| Construction Description — RVVP 2×1.5 mm² shielded control cable | |||
| Layer-by-layer shielded control cable: 2×flexible Cu / PVC insulation / copper braid shield / PVC sheath · 300/500 V · 70 °C · ≈ 7.6 mm | |||
| 1. Product Identity & Ratings | |||
| RVVP 2×1.5 is a shielded flexible PVC control cable rated 300/500 V, 70 °C continuous. Built per GB/T 9330 / IEC 60227. Two 1.5 mm² fine-stranded copper conductors enclosed in a copper wire braid shield (≥ 80% coverage) and PVC outer sheath. Designed for medium control circuits. Finished OD ≈ 7.6 mm, mass ≈ 115 kg/km, 100 m coils. | |||
| 2. Two Fine Flexible Copper Conductors | |||
| Two 1.5 mm² fine-stranded annealed copper conductors (Class 5, ~30×0.25 mm). DC resistance ≤ 13.3 Ω/km at 20 °C. The flexible construction handles up to ~13 A for PLC I/O and relay control circuits. | |||
| 3. Copper Braid Shield | |||
| Tinned copper wire braid woven over the insulated cores with ≥ 80% coverage. The shield blocks EMI/RFI from nearby VFDs, motors, and power cables — critical for industrial control environments. | |||
| 4. PVC Outer Sheath | |||
| PVC outer sheath ≈ 1.2 mm thick, dark green. Provides mechanical protection and environmental resistance. The flexible sheath bends easily for panel wiring and equipment interconnection. | |||
| 5. Site Handling & Operational Notes | |||
| • Bend radius 6×OD (≈ 46 mm). • Use crimp lugs and terminal blocks. • Ground shield at one or both ends. • At 115 kg/km, moderate weight. • Indoor use. • Medium control (≈ 13 A max). |
8. Standards & Conformity. GB/T 9330 (plastic insulated control cables); IEC 60227 (international); GB/T 3956 (Class 5 flexible conductors). Rated 300/500 V.
9. Packaging, Storage & Logistics. 100 m per coil, plastic wrapped. Continuous marking: RVVP, 2×1.5, 300/500V, GB/T 9330. Store dry, indoor.
10. Procurement Specification. State "RVVP 2×1.5" + length. Specify shield coverage requirement (≥ 80%). Confirm against factory test certificate.
11. Cable Industry FAQ.
- Q1: What is the difference between RVVP 2×1.5 and RVVP 2×1.0? The 1.5 mm² version has 50% more copper cross-section, is thicker (7.6 vs 6.8 mm), 35% heavier (115 vs 85 kg/km), and carries 44% more current (13 vs 9 A). It is for industrial control circuits; the 1.0 mm² version is for audio/data.
- Q2: Why choose 1.5 mm²? When you need to power sensors, solenoids, or relay coils that draw more current (up to ~13 A), 1.5 mm² provides the margin. The 1.0 mm² is limited to ~9 A for audio/data.
- Q3: Can it drive relay coils? Yes — relay coils typically draw 50–500 mA, well within the 13 A capacity. The shield protects the control signal from nearby VFD noise.
- Q4: What connectors are used? Crimp lugs, ferrules, or terminal blocks. The 1.6 mm conductor diameter fits standard industrial terminal blocks.
- Q5: Is the shield the same as 2×1.0? Yes — copper wire braid ≥ 80% coverage. The shield diameter is larger (6.5 vs 5.6 mm) because it wraps larger cores.
- Q6: Can it be used for sensor power? Yes — 24 VDC sensor power at up to 13 A is well within range. The shield protects the voltage signal from drop and noise.
- Q7: What is the bending radius? 6×OD ≈ 46 mm — flexible enough for panel wiring.
- Q8: Can it be used outdoors? No — PVC sheath is not UV-resistant. For outdoor use, use outdoor-rated cable.
- Q9: How does it compare to RVVP 2×2.5? The 2.5 mm² version carries 16 A and is for heavier control circuits. The 1.5 mm² version carries 13 A and is the sweet spot for PLC I/O and relay control. If you need more than 13 A, step up to 2.5 mm².
- Q10: What if I run it near VFDs? The copper braid shield helps significantly. Ground the shield at both ends for high-frequency VFD noise. Maintain separation from motor cables.
- Q11: What is the standard? GB/T 9330 / IEC 60227 for plastic insulated control cables, rated 300/500 V.
