VV Low Voltage Power Cable

What is the maximum voltage rating for VV low voltage power cables?
VV cables are typically rated for voltages up to 1kV (1000V), making them suitable for low voltage power distribution.

What types of environments are VV cables suitable for?
They are designed for indoor and outdoor use, including dry, moist, and mildly corrosive environments, but not for direct burial or underwater applications.

What is the conductor material used in VV cables?
The conductor is usually made of copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al), with copper being more common for better conductivity.

Does the VV cable have flame-retardant properties?
Standard VV cables are not flame-retardant, but special flame-retardant (VV-FR) versions are available for enhanced safety.

What is the temperature range for VV cable operation?
The standard operating temperature range is -15°C to +70°C, with short-term tolerance up to +90°C under overload conditions.

Can VV cables be installed in cable trays or conduits?
Yes, they are suitable for installation in cable trays, conduits, and ducts, but proper bending radius guidelines must be followed.

Are VV cables resistant to oils and chemicals?
Standard VV cables have limited resistance to oils and chemicals. For harsh environments, specially shielded or jacketed versions are recommended.

What is the difference between VV and VV22 cables?
VV cables have basic PVC insulation and sheathing, while VV22 has an additional steel tape armor layer for mechanical protection.

How should VV cables be stored before installation?
They should be kept in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and stored on reels to prevent damage.

What are the common applications of VV low voltage power cables?
They are widely used in power distribution, industrial wiring, building electrical systems, and control circuits where flexibility and durability are required.
