Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does BVVB stand for?

B: Fixed wiring cable (Chinese standard classification)
V: PVC insulation
V: PVC sheath
B: Flat type design

BVVB is a flat-type PVC insulated and sheathed copper cable designed for fixed electrical installations where space-saving and surface mounting are required.

2. What are the standard voltage ratings for BVVB cable?

300/300V: For low-voltage lighting and signal circuits
300/500V: Most common for residential and commercial applications
450/750V: For higher power applications and industrial use
Special Versions: 250/440V for specific markets, 600/1000V for industrial applications

3. Where is BVVB cable typically used?

Residential buildings: Surface-mounted wiring for sockets and lighting
Commercial spaces: Office power distribution, retail store installations
Renovation projects: Retrofitting existing buildings without concealed conduits
Temporary installations: Exhibition booths, stage wiring, construction sites
Furniture manufacturing: Built-in electrical systems for cabinets and displays

4. What is the temperature rating of BVVB cable?

Normal operating temperature: -15°C to +70°C
Maximum conductor temperature: 70°C continuous operation
Short-circuit withstand: 160°C for maximum 5 seconds
Installation temperature: Minimum 0°C to prevent sheath damage

5. What safety standards does BVVB comply with?

International: IEC 60227
Chinese National: GB/T 5023
Certifications: CCC (China Compulsory Certification), CE marking
Fire Performance: Standard version has basic flame retardancy (for enhanced safety, choose ZR-BVVB)

6. Can BVVB be used outdoors or in wet locations?

Not recommended for direct outdoor exposure
Suitable for indoor dry locations only
Requires additional protection (conduits, trunking) in damp areas
Not designed for direct burial or prolonged moisture exposure

7. What are the available conductor configurations?

2-core: For basic lighting and socket circuits
3-core: For grounded applications and three-phase systems
Conductor Sizes: 0.75 mm² to 10 mm² per core
Common Combinations: 2*1.5 mm², 2*2.5 mm², 3*1.5 mm², 3*2.5 mm²

8. What is the current carrying capacity of BVVB?

Examples for 300/500V BVVB:
