YJV Cable manufacturer copper/cross-linked polyethylene unarmored power cables

YJV Cable Overview

YJV cable is a copper-core power cable with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer sheath. It is typically rated at 0.6/1kV and is suitable for low-voltage power transmission and distribution. If you require a mainstream low-voltage cable with performance superior to PVC-insulated cables, YJV cable, with its XLPE insulation advantage, is a common engineering choice.

Optimal Applications for YJV Cables

YJV cables are commonly used in low-voltage power supply systems, such as:

· Power distribution in buildings and facilities (fixed lines)

· Industrial plants and local energy distribution

· Cable ducts and utility corridors (where mechanical damage risk is manageable)

If your line has a high mechanical risk, or needs to be directly buried and withstand pressure/impact, buyers will typically consider armored cables (such as YJV22).

Why Engineers Specify YJV Cables (Instead of Standard PVC Cables)

XLPE Insulation = Superior Electrical Performance Benchmark

XLPE insulation is generally valued for its superior electrical performance compared to PVC insulation (e.g., lower dielectric loss/leakage in some comparisons).

Higher Thermal Performance (Typical XLPE Low-Voltage Cable Design)

Low-voltage XLPE power cable designs typically specify a maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C (depending on standards/design).

Globally Applicable Standard for Ease of Procurement

YJV cables are widely sold in low-voltage cable constructions conforming to IEC 60502-1 (depending on the supplier), making it easier to match tender specifications and substitute across regions.

Frequently Asked Questions (Procurement-related)

Q1: What does YJV stand for?

It typically refers to copper core power cables with XLPE insulation and PVC sheath used for low-voltage power distribution.

Q2: What is the actual difference between YJV and VV?

YJV uses XLPE insulation, while VV typically uses PVC insulation; comparisons usually emphasize the superior electrical/thermal properties of XLPE.

Q3: Can YJV be used underground?

Unarmored YJV is typically used in piping/underground environments where the risk of mechanical damage is controllable; for more demanding environments, many projects switch to armored YJV22.

Q4: Which standards are most frequently referenced?

Suppliers typically reference IEC 60502-1 and/or GB/T 12706.1 standards depending on the export market and project requirements.

Q5: Do you offer Low Smoke Halogen-Free (LSZH) sheath options?

Some suppliers offer other sheath options (e.g., LSZH/LSHF options) depending on the project's fire safety requirements.
