Use characteristics

Rated voltage

The rated voltage of the cable Uo/U(Um) is: 0.6/1 (1.2) kV, 1.8/3 (3.6) kV

among them:

Uo: rated power frequency voltage between conductor to ground or metal shield for cable design;

U: rated power frequency voltage between conductors for cable design;

Um: The maximum value of the "highest system voltage" that the device can withstand.

The rated voltage of the cable should be suitable for the operating conditions of the system in which the cable is located. In order to facilitate the selection of cables, the system is divided into the following three categories:

——Class A: When any phase conductor is in contact with a ground or ground conductor, it can be isolated from the system within 1 min.

——Class B: This type of system can be operated for a short time in the case of single-phase ground fault. The ground fault time should not exceed 1h according to JB/T8996-1999. For this part including cables, in any case a longer fault-tolerant running time of no more than 8h is allowed. The total duration of any one-year ground fault should not exceed 125h.

——Class C: Includes systems that are not Class A and Class B.

Note: When the system ground fault cannot be automatically released immediately, the excessive electric field strength added to the cable insulation during the fault will shorten the cable life to some extent. If the system is expected to run frequently in a persistent ground fault condition, the system should be classified as Class C.

Cables for three-phase systems, recommended values ​​for U0 are shown in Table 1.

2. Conductor rated operating temperature

The maximum rated operating temperature of the cable conductor is 90 °C. In the event of a short circuit (maximum duration not exceeding 5 s) the maximum temperature of the cable conductor does not exceed 250 °C.

3. Laying the ambient temperature

The ambient temperature during cable laying should not be lower than 0 °C, otherwise it needs to be preheated beforehand.

4. Install the bending radius

The minimum bending radius of the cable during installation is shown in Table 2.

5. Laying method

The cable is not laid with a drop limit.

Cables are allowed to be placed indoors, outdoors, in the air, and in the soil, allowing localized water to accumulate.

The cable laying method can be tunnels, pipes, cable trenches, bridges, and pipes. The armored cables are allowed to be buried directly underground, and the steel wire armored cables are allowed to be laid vertically.

Single core cables are not allowed to be laid in magnetic metal tubes.

The cable laying environment should have good heat dissipation conditions.

6. The maximum allowable traction of the conductor and the maximum allowable side pressure of the cable when laying the cable

The maximum allowable traction calculation method for conductors:

- Copper conductor: F = 70 × S (N / mm2)

- Aluminum conductor: F = 40 × S (N / mm2)

Side pressure calculation method: P = F ÷ R (N / m), the maximum allowable side pressure does not exceed 3000 N / m.

Where: F-traction, N

S-conductor section, mm2

P-side pressure, N/m

R-cable bending radius, m

7. Cable transportation and storage requirements

The cable reels are not allowed to lay flat. It is strictly forbidden to drop the cable tray with cables from the height during transportation. It is strictly forbidden to damage the cable mechanically. If the cable needs to be used in sections, the cable head must be sealed with a waterproof cap after the cable is segmented to prevent water ingress.

Before the cable model, add WDZA-, WDZB-, WDZC-, WDZD-, halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant and fire-resistant place to get the model before adding WDZAN-, WDZBN-, WDZBN-, WDZDN-.

product structure

1. Conductor

The conductor shall comply with the first or second metallized or unplated annealed copper conductor or aluminum conductor of GB / T3956. Or the fifth bare copper conductor or metallized annealed copper conductor.

2. Refractory layer

The fire-resistant cable conductor double-layer wrapped refractory mica tape, the mica tape wrapping must be flat and tight, and no defects such as wrinkles or leakage are allowed.

3. Insulation

The insulation should be tightly packed onto the conductor and should be easily peeled off without damaging the insulator, conductor or plating. The thickness of the insulation shall comply with the requirements of Table 6.

4. Isolation sleeve (with armored cable)

It is extruded on the core with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene (PE).

5. Armored

The multi-core cable is made of galvanized steel strip or galvanized steel wire, and the single-core cable used for the AC circuit uses a non-magnetic metal strip or wire. The metal strip is wrapped by a double-layer gap, and the wire is twisted by multiple concentrics.

Note: A large number of facts have proved that cables are used when a single-core cable with a special structure armor (such as a magnetic isolation structure with copper wire added) is used in the AC circuit.

The current carrying capacity of the heating conductor is greatly reduced, so it is not recommended.

6. Outer sheath

It is extruded on armor, insulation or cable core with ST2 type PVC sheath or SY7 type polyethylene (PE) sheathing material.

7. Finished cable logo

The outer sheath surface of the finished cable is printed with a continuous mark of the name, model, rated voltage, number of cores, nominal cross section and number of meters.
