Wire and cable representation consists of three main parts: type, specification and standard number. The following are the uses and specifications of various cables and the correct representation of cables, welcome to learn

  1、The meaning of the model number

  Electrical equipment with wire and cable and power cable models are mainly composed of the following seven parts:

  Some special wire and cable models and then there are derived codes. The following will be commonly used in the meaning of the letters in the model of wire and cable::

  Category, use code

  A - installation line B - insulated line C - marine cable

  K-Control cable N-Agricultural cable R-Flexible cable

  U - mining cable Y - mobile cable JK - insulated overhead cable

  M-Mine

  ZR-Fire-retardant NH-Fire-resistant ZA-Fire-retardant class A

  ZB - Class B Flame Retardant ZC - Class C Flame Retardant WD - Low Smoke Halogen Free

  Specification

  The specifications consist of the rated voltage, the number of cores and the nominal cross section.

  Wires and control cables are generally rated at 300/300V, 300/500V, 450/750V, etc.

  The rated voltage of medium and low voltage power cables is generally 0.6/1kv, 1.8/3kv, 3.6/6kv, 6/6(10)KV, 8.7/10(15)kv, 12/20kv, 18/20(30)kv, 21/35kv, 26/35kv, etc.

  The number of cores of wire and cable is determined according to actual needs, generally power cables mainly have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 cores, wires are also mainly 1 to 5 cores, control cables have 1 to 61 cores.

  The nominal cross-section is an approximation of the cross-section of the guide body. In order to achieve the specified DC resistance, easy to remember and unified and specified a conductor cross-section near a whole value. China's unified provisions of the conductor cross-section are 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25, 35, 50, 70, 95, 120, 150, 185, 240, 300, 400, 500, 630, 800, 1000, 1200, etc.. It should be stressed here that the nominal cross-section of a conductor is not the actual cross-section of the conductor, which is smaller in many cases and larger in a few cases than the nominal cross-section. In the actual production process, as long as the DC resistance of the conductor meets the specified requirements, it can be said that the cross-section of the cable is up to standard.

  Standard numbering

  We now produce most of the wire and cable countries or industries have a clear standard provisions, the main purpose of course, to make the design, the use of uniform.
