Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 8 AWG 5C Bare Copper Unshielded XLPE PVC RV-K 0.6/1KV Low Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is designed for electrical installations requiring a low-voltage power supply. The "8 AWG" specifies the wire gauge, indicating the thickness of the wire, which in this case is 8 American Wire Gauge. "5C" denotes that the cable contains five conductors. These conductors are made of bare copper, known for its excellent electrical conductivity. The cable is unshielded and insulated with Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) and coated with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The "RV-K" designation typically refers to a type of flexible cable. The "0.6/1KV" rating indicates that the cable can handle voltages up to 1 kilovolt.

Also Known As:

This type of cable might be referred to by various names, including multicore copper cable, low voltage power cable, or flexible power cable.

Application:

It is commonly used in low voltage electrical systems for power distribution, particularly in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Its flexibility makes it suitable for installations in confined spaces and areas where the cable needs to bend.

Standards:

The cable likely conforms to certain international and national standards regarding electrical cables, ensuring safety, performance, and quality. These may include standards set by organizations like the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) or specific national standards.
