Description

Gongniu Cable constructs its PVC Covered Conductors using premium-grade materials to ensure longevity and optimal conductivity. These conductors feature a core of concentrically stranded wires, which can be made from aluminum, copper, aluminum-alloy, or Aluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced (ACSR). Clients can specify either compressed or uncompressed stranded constructions for their particular needs. A robust Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) sheath encases the stranded core, offering excellent insulation and protection against environmental factors. We provide this PVC covering in black for Type 8 conductors and in green for Type 16 conductors, facilitating easy identification. The fundamental design of these conductors involves stranded, circular wires for consistent performance.

Application

Our PVC Covered Conductors are engineered for deployment in a variety of overhead power line infrastructures. Gongniu Cable offers two primary types of these conductors, Type 8 and Type 16, to accommodate different operational voltage requirements. Type 8 conductors are intended for use in power line systems where the operating voltage between any two conductors does not surpass 650 volts RMS. These Type 8 conductors are also suitable if the voltage between any single conductor and the earth is 250 volts RMS or less. For applications demanding higher voltage capacities, Type 16 conductors provide a reliable solution. Type 16 is suitable when the operating voltage between any two conductors exceeds 650 volts RMS, or when the voltage between any conductor and the earth surpasses 250 volts RMS. Generally, these Type 16 conductors are utilized in systems where the voltage between conductors does not normally exceed 11 kilovolts RMS, or where the voltage between any conductor and earth does not typically go beyond 6.6 kilovolts RMS.

Specifications

Gongniu Cable manufactures all PVC Covered Conductors in strict accordance with recognized international standards. Our products consistently meet BS 6485, the standard for PVC-Covered Conductors For Overhead Power Lines. Furthermore, they comply with BS EN 50182, which outlines specifications for Conductors For overhead lines — Round Wire Concentric Lay Stranded Conductors. Depending on the chosen conductor material (such as aluminum, copper, or alloys), our products also align with several other key British Standards, including:

• BS 215-1 for Aluminum Stranded Conductors
• BS 215-2 for Aluminum Conductors, Steel-Reinforced
• BS 3242 for Aluminum Alloy Stranded Conductors used in overhead power transmission
• BS 7884 for Copper and Copper-Cadmium Stranded Conductors intended for overhead electric traction and power transmission systems
