Conductor Configuration: Single core with a stranded Copper Conductor, available in cross-sectional areas of 6mm², 10mm², 35mm², 50mm², and 70mm². The overall cable diameter ranges from 8mm (6mm²) to 18mm (70mm²), depending on conductor size and insulation thickness.
Current-Carrying Capacity:
6mm²: 32A (free air) / 25A (conduit)
10mm²: 42A (free air) / 34A (conduit)
35mm²: 95A (free air) / 77A (conduit)
50mm²: 115A (free air) / 94A (conduit)
70mm²: 145A (free air) / 118A (conduit)
Voltage Rating: 450/750V, suitable for low-voltage grounding systems in accordance with IEC 60364 and NFPA 70 (NEC) standards.
Temperature Range:
Continuous operation: -25°C to 70°C
Short-term overload: Up to 105°C for 5 seconds (e.g., during fault conditions)
Mechanical Properties:
Minimum bend radius: 4× cable diameter (static installation); 6× (dynamic flexing)
Tensile strength: ≥12N/mm² (conductor); ≥10N/mm² (PVC Insulation)
Impact resistance: Withstands 20J impact (per IEC 60811-1-2) without insulation damage
Electrical Performance:
Conductor resistance: ≤1.83Ω/km (6mm²) to ≤0.268Ω/km (70mm²) at 20°C
Insulation resistance: ≥100MΩ at 500V DC (after 24-hour immersion in water)
Dielectric strength: 3kV for 1 minute (no breakdown)
Copper Purity: 99.9% purity guarantees electrical conductivity of ≥97% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard), minimizing impedance for efficient fault current diversion. This is critical, as grounding systems require low-resistance paths to rapidly dissipate fault currents (often exceeding 1000A) to the earth.
Stranding Design:
6mm²: 50–60 fine strands (0.3mm diameter each)
10mm²: 80–90 strands
35mm²: 120–150 strands
50mm²: 180–200 strands
70mm²: 250–280 strands
Surface Treatment: Optional tin plating (5–10μm thick) for enhanced corrosion resistance in humid or coastal environments, preventing oxidation that could increase resistance over time.
PVC Formulation: Blended with flame retardants (e.g., aluminum trihydroxide), plasticizers, and stabilizers to resist heat, moisture, and chemicals. This ensures the insulation remains intact in temperatures up to 70°C and resists degradation from oils, greases, and mild acids.
Insulation Thickness:
6mm²: 0.8mm
10mm²: 1.0mm
35mm²: 1.2mm
50mm²: 1.4mm
70mm²: 1.6mm
Color Coding: The insulation is permanently colored with a yellow-green stripe pattern—globally recognized under IEC 60446 as the identifier for protective grounding conductors. This eliminates installation errors, ensuring the cable is correctly connected to earth electrodes or grounding bars.
UV Resistance: PVC insulation contains UV stabilizers, making the cable suitable for outdoor installations (e.g., grounding solar panels or outdoor substations) without degradation from sunlight.
Oil Resistance: Resistant to mineral oils and petroleum-based fluids, expanding its use in industrial settings (e.g., factories with lubricant exposure).
Distribution Boards: Connects main electrical panels to earth electrodes, ensuring fault currents from short circuits are diverted away from occupants. The 6mm² and 10mm² sizes are standard for home and apartment buildings.
Appliance Grounding: Used to ground metal enclosures of refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines, preventing electric shock if Internal Wiring faults occur.
Lighting Systems: Grounds metal light fixtures and ceiling fans, particularly in damp locations (bathrooms, kitchens) where moisture increases shock risks.
Heavy Machinery: Grounds manufacturing equipment (e.g., CNC machines, presses, and conveyors) to protect operators from electric shock and prevent equipment damage during faults. The 35mm² to 70mm² sizes handle high fault currents in industrial grids.
Welding Stations: Diverts stray currents from welding equipment, preventing arcing that could damage sensitive electronics or cause fires.
Chemical Plants: Resists exposure to mild chemicals, making it suitable for grounding tanks, pipelines, and processing equipment in corrosive environments.
Substations: Connects transformers, switchgear, and circuit breakers to earth grids, ensuring safe dissipation of fault currents during grid disturbances.
Renewable Energy Installations: Grounds solar panel arrays and wind turbines, protecting against lightning strikes and equipment faults. The UV-resistant insulation withstands outdoor conditions.
Railway Systems: Grounds tracks, signaling equipment, and traction power systems, preventing stray currents from damaging infrastructure or endangering passengers.
Temporary Grounding: Used with portable generators, scaffolding, and power tools on construction sites, where temporary electrical systems pose heightened safety risks.
Event Venues: Grounds temporary lighting, sound systems, and food service equipment at concerts, festivals, or sports events, ensuring public safety.
Copper Drawing: Raw copper rods (99.99% pure) are drawn through diamond dies to form fine wires (0.3mm diameter). This process increases tensile strength while maintaining conductivity.
Annealing: Wires are heated to 400–600°C in a nitrogen atmosphere to soften the metal, enhancing flexibility for stranding.
Stranding: Wires are twisted into conductors using high-speed stranding machines. The lay length (twist spacing) is set to 15–20× the wire diameter to balance flexibility and structural stability.
Tin Plating (Optional): Stranded Conductors are electroplated in a tin sulfate bath, ensuring uniform coverage to resist corrosion.
PVC Compounding: PVC resin is mixed with flame retardants, plasticizers, and yellow-green pigments in a high-shear mixer to form a homogeneous compound.
Extrusion: Conductors are fed through an extruder, where molten PVC is applied at 160–180°C to form the insulation layer. Precision dies ensure uniform thickness across the conductor.
Cooling and Curing: Insulated Conductors pass through a water bath to cool and solidify the PVC, followed by a drying process to remove surface moisture.
Conductivity Test: Using a Kelvin bridge to verify resistance meets IACS standards.
Insulation Tests:
Dielectric strength test: 3kV applied for 1 minute to check for breakdown.
Insulation resistance test: Measured at 500V DC to ensure ≥100MΩ.
Mechanical Tests:
Flex test: 10,000 cycles of bending (at 4× bend radius) to check for conductor or insulation damage.
Impact test: A 20J weight is dropped on the cable to verify insulation integrity.
Flame Retardancy Test: Vertical flame test per UL 94 to confirm self-extinguishing properties (V-0 rating).
Color Verification: Spectrophotometric analysis ensures the yellow-green stripe meets IEC 60446 color standards.
Reels: Cables are wound onto wooden or steel reels with flanges, available in lengths of 100m, 250m, 500m, or 1000m. Reel sizes vary by conductor size:
6mm²–10mm²: 30cm–50cm diameter reels
35mm²–70mm²: 60cm–100cm diameter reels
Protection: Reels are wrapped in UV-resistant plastic film to prevent moisture and dust ingress. Each reel is labeled with:
Product code (BVR H07VK)
Conductor size (e.g., 10mm²)
Length

Documentation: Each reel includes a certificate of conformity (CoC) with test results, material specifications, and compliance statements.
Shipping Modes: Available via road (trucks with reel lifts), sea (container shipping for international orders), or air (for urgent deliveries).
Handling Guidelines:
Reels must be moved with forklifts or cranes using reel hooks—never dragged, as this can damage the insulation or conductor.
Cables should be stored horizontally in a dry, ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures (-25°C to 50°C), and chemicals.
Unused cable must be rewound tightly to prevent kinking, which can degrade insulation over time.
Storage Life: 5 years from manufacture when stored under recommended conditions, with no degradation in electrical or mechanical properties.

Technical Assistance: A team of engineers provides guidance on:
Correct installation practices (e.g., termination methods using copper lugs)
Grounding system design (e.g., earth electrode spacing)
Compliance with local codes (e.g., NEC Article 250 in the U.S.)

Periodic inspections (annually) for insulation damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
Cleaning with a dry cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade PVC.
Retightening terminations every 2–3 years to prevent resistance buildup.
