Trailing Cable (RVK)

Technical Data.

Flexible power cable per IEC 60502; UNE 21123 with ampacity rating per IEC 50364.

Temperatures.

Operating : -15°C to 90°C

Voltage Rating : U0/U 600/1,000V

Min. Bending Radius : 5 x OD

Application.

This cable for power distribution is suitable for low voltage industrial type connections, in urban grids, building installations, ect. Its high flexibility makes the installation process substantially easier and thus is particularly suitable for use in difficult layouts. It can be buried or installed in a tube as well as outdoors without requiring additional protection. Lastly, RV-K cable can withstand damp conditions, including total immersion in water.

Construction.

Flexible electrolytic annealed copper conductors, class 5 per IEC 60228, XLPE core insulation, Type DIX3 per HRN HD 603, Color coding as per HRN HD 308, Bedding and outer sheath with flexible, fire retardant PVC, type DVM 19 per HRN HD 603.

Properties and identification.

The special PVC compound provides excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and water absorption.

Additional.

Excellent flexibility : The use of flexible conductors and special PVC compounds makes this cable highly flexible.

Great power : The cross-linked polyethylene insulation (XLPE) allows greater power transmission as well as higher resistance to overloads. Additionally, it raises the maximum conductor temperature to 90°C (vs. 70°C in type NYY or VV cables).

Lower installation costs : The use of flexible cable noticeably speeds up the installation cost.

Fire proof properties : The no flame propagation properties of the cable contributes towards improving the overall safety of the installation.

Protection : The special PVC mix outer sheath provides a high level of protection against hydrocarbon and mineral oils.

Versatility : RV-K’s design permits it to be installed in almost all types of environments, outdoors, buried, in humid environments and even immersed in water.
