Pvc Wires & Cables

PVC wires and cables are designed to perform across various temperatures. Depending on the specific formulation, the material maintains its insulating properties at both high and low temperatures, typically between -15°C and 70°C. This thermal stability ensures that PVC wire cables remain operational in environments where temperature fluctuation is a concern, such as industrial settings or outdoor installations. Their high-temperature resistance also minimizes the risk of insulation degradation over time, preventing premature failure of the electrical system.

Product Description

PVC is a highly effective insulator with a dielectric strength that ensures reliable electrical insulation. This property prevents electrical breakdowns, which are a major cause of system failures. PVC’s dielectric strength allows it to be used in a wide range of voltage applications, including low—and medium-voltage power systems. Its consistent insulating characteristics help mitigate the risk of arcing or short-circuiting, which is critical for the safe operation of electrical networks. 

Conductor Size

Ranges from 0.5 mm² to 10 mm² (depends on application and current rating)

Temperature Range

-15°C to 70°C (standard PVC); specialized formulations available for extended ranges

Insulation Material

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), offering excellent electrical insulation and resistance to environmental factors

Sheath Material

PVC, with options for UV-resistant and flame-retardant formulations for enhanced durability

Bending Radius

Minimum bending radius of 6x the outer diameter of the cable

Charge Rate

Supports charge rates from 3.3 kW to 22 kW, depending on the conductor size and application

Electromagnetic Shielding

Optional shielded designs available (e.g., foil or braided shields) to minimize interference

Contact Resistance

Less than 0.01 ohms (depending on connector and cable size)

Durability

Designed for over 10,000 cycles of flexing and movement in industrial and automotive applications

Overload Protection

Built-in overload protection options, with current-limiting mechanisms to prevent overheating

Leakage Current

Less than 5 mA (meets safety standards for electrical leakage)

Environmental Compliance

RoHS compliant; PVC formulation available for halogen-free or low-smoke, zero-halogen requirements

Technical Advantages

PVC cables are resistant to a broad spectrum of chemicals, including oils, acids, alkalis, and solvents, often present in industrial environments. This makes PVC cables particularly valuable in automotive manufacturing, petrochemical plants, and food processing sectors. Additionally, PVC’s resistance to moisture, mold, and UV radiation enhances the cable’s longevity in outdoor or harsh environmental conditions, reducing the need for costly replacements and downtime. 

One of the most critical concerns in any electrical system is fire risk. PVC cables offer inherent flame-retardant properties that significantly reduce the spread of fire in the event of an electrical fault. This feature is especially valuable in high-risk environments such as tunnels, high-rise buildings, and industrial complexes. The flame-retardant properties of PVC are achieved by including additives that inhibit the combustion process, providing a safer operating environment by minimizing fire hazards.

Maximized Electrical Conductivity and Performance

While PVC is primarily known for its insulating properties, the cables are typically manufactured with copper or aluminum conductors, which provide excellent conductivity. The copper core ensures minimal resistance, optimizing the cable’s ability to transmit electrical currents efficiently. Copper, when paired with PVC insulation, offers an effective balance of high electrical performance and mechanical protection, making PVC cables suitable for power, control, and communication applications. 

PVC cables are engineered to offer both mechanical strength and flexibility. The outer sheath of PVC protects against abrasion, impact, and mechanical stress, which is essential for applications in environments where physical damage is a concern, such as manufacturing plants or construction sites. At the same time, the flexibility of PVC allows for ease of installation and routing in tight spaces or complex wiring setups. This balance of rigidity and pliability helps reduce installation time and labor costs while maintaining long-term reliability.
