Specification

16.0mm Single Core Bare Copper Stranded PVC 6491X 450/750V Power Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 16.0mm Single Core Bare Copper Stranded PVC 6491X 450/750V Power Cable: 100 Amps

About:

The conductor is made from bare copper, known for its excellent electrical conductivity and durability. The copper conductor is stranded, meaning it is made up of multiple smaller copper wires twisted together. This increases the flexibility of the cable, making it easier to handle and install. The insulation is made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which is a type of plastic that offers good insulation properties and is resistant to flames, chemicals, and various environmental conditions. 

Also Known As:

• H07V-R (when stranded)
• H07V-U (when solid)
• Building wire
• Conduit wire
• 6491X cable

Application:

PVC insulated only cable for fixed wiring purposes. Used in trunking or conduit, or may be surface mounted when used for earthing

Standards:

• BS6004: This is the British standard that specifies the construction requirements, testing parameters, and safe use of PVC-insulated cables like the 6491X in fixed installations in buildings and other structures.

• BS EN/IEC 60228: This international standard specifies the dimensional requirements of the conductors.

Features:

• Flexibility: The stranded nature of the copper conductor provides flexibility, making installation easier in tight spaces and allowing the cable to bend without causing damage to the wires inside.
• Colour Coding: The insulation comes in various colours for easy identification of the cable's purpose in installations, which can help prevent wiring errors.
• Flame Retardant: PVC insulation typically includes flame retardant properties, which help to prevent the spread of fire.
• Temperature Range: This type of cable can operate effectively within a certain temperature range, usually from about -15°C to 70°C, making it suitable for most ambient environmental conditions found in buildings.
