Cables and wires are commonplace in everyday life, but for most non-professionals, the specialized knowledge and common sense surrounding them is often unfamiliar. This is because they don't have direct experience with them. However, choosing wire for home renovations can be challenging. Today, we'll focus on a common type of cable, single-core RV flexible wire, and its specifications and features.
1) Definition
RV is a traditional single-core flexible wire, consisting of multiple strands of fine copper wire twisted together and covered with an insulating protective layer. It boasts a simple structure, excellent conductivity, and safe electrical insulation, making it a common fixed wiring option for home renovations.
2) Product Specifications
1) RV, short for polyvinyl chloride insulated unsheathed wire and cable, has a simple structure consisting of a conductor core and an insulating protective layer. The conductor is made of fine copper wires twisted together. While these features aren't as demanding, using highly oxygen-free copper results in lower resistance, reduced losses, superior conductivity, reduced heat generation, and a longer, more reliable lifespan. Therefore, it's commonly used in a variety of wiring scenarios, including electrical equipment wiring, lighting wiring, home appliance wiring, and fixed home wiring.
Voltage Rating: 450/750V
Operating Temperature: The cable's long-term operating temperature is 70°C.
Common Specifications: 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4, and 6 mm²
Product Structure: Multi-strand bare copper wire + heat-resistant PVC insulation
Product Colors: Red, yellow, green, blue, black, two-tone (yellow-green), white, and brown
Packaging Quantity: 100 meters per roll
RV Cable Features
1) Features: RV cables, manufactured using high-quality oxygen-free copper and high-quality insulating plastic, offer high conductivity, excellent heat dissipation, low heat generation, excellent electrical performance, stable and reliable power transmission, and a long service life.
2) Applications: RV cables are widely used in industrial power distribution, particularly in installation environments with stringent flexible requirements, such as control cabinets, distribution boxes, and various low-voltage electrical equipment. They can be used to transmit power, electrical control signals, and switching signals. RV cables feature a flexible structure with a small conductor bend radius, making them suitable for installation in humid and oily environments. RV cables are also certified with both the CCC and CE markings, complying with HD (European Harmonized Standards) requirements, making them suitable for use not only in China but also in Europe.
The above two points provide a brief overview of the scope of RV cables. In fact, many types of wires and cables we're not familiar with are used in our daily lives, such as RV cables, which are primarily used to connect household appliances. It's just that we often don't understand their technical names. This article, compiled here, hopes to provide a basic understanding of wires and cables.
