KVVR cable is a specialized type of flexible copper control cable designed for fixed installations in environments where space is limited and regular movement or vibration occurs. The "K" signifies control cable, "V" stands for PVC insulation, the second "V" indicates PVC sheathing, and "R" denotes the flexible or stranded conductor design. This construction makes it an ideal solution for connecting electrical control circuits, instrumentation systems, and automation equipment within control cabinets, machine tools, and various industrial settings.
KVVR cable is engineered for reliability in demanding conditions. Its primary characteristics include excellent flexibility, which simplifies installation in tight spaces and around corners, and good resistance to oils, acids, alkalis, and moisture. The PVC sheath provides a durable protective layer against abrasion and general mechanical stress.
Typical applications include:
The performance of KVVR cable is defined by a set of precise technical parameters that ensure safe and efficient operation. Below are the standard specifications.
| Parameter | Specification / Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Rated Voltage (U0/U) | 300/500 V |
| Test Voltage | 2000 V, 50 Hz, 5 minutes |
| Operating Temperature Range | -15°C to +70°C |
| Minimum Bending Radius | 4 x Cable Diameter (Fixed Installation) |
| Flame Retardancy | According to IEC 60332-1 |
KVVR cable is available in various core counts and conductor sizes to suit different circuit requirements.
