GENERAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Basic design elements for insulated wires and cables

ConductorConsists of one or more metal wires and is used for transportation of electric current.

Round, solid (RE) For small and medium diameter or cross-sections, made of copper (bare or tinned) up to 16 mm2 and of aluminium up to 35 mm2. Used in single- and multi-core cables and wires for fixed installation. Round, stranded (RM) For medium and large cross-sections of copper-conductors from 6 mm2 and aluminium conductors from 25 mm2. Used in single- and multi-core cables and wires for fixed installation.

Round, stranded, compressed (RM) For particularly compact conductors of medium and large cross-section made of copper from 6 mm2 and aluminium from 16 mm2. For use in single- and multi-core cables and wires for fixed installation.

Fine or superfine-wire (F)For all cross-sections of copper-conductors (bare or tinned). Used for flexible cables.

Sector-shaped, solid (SE)For medium and large cross-sections of aluminium conductors from 50 mm2 up to 240 mm2. Used for 3-, 31/2-, 4- and 5-core cables.

Sector-shaped, stranded (SM)For medium and large cross-sections of copper and aluminium conductors from 35 mm2 up to 300 mm2. Used for 3-, 31/2-, 4- and 5-core cables.

Core insulationCovers the conductor and is used for electrical separation from the surroundings. Mainly made of extruded polymers but also of paper, glass or minerals, varnish etc or a combination of several of these materials. Conductor and insulation together form the core.

Inner covering, taping Covers the stranded core consisting of several or many cores and is used for filling the interstices between the stranding-elements, maintaining a round shape of the cable. The inner covering has mostly no electrical function and consists usually either of extruded polymers, of one or more layers of tape or a combination of these elements.

ScreenPrevents electrical influences (electric fields) from reaching elements within the screen or electric fields generated by these elements from penetrating outside by conductance. Consists of metallic tapes (e.g. copper or aluminium), laminated metallic tapes, wires, wire braids or a combination of these elements.

ArmouringUsually arranged over the jacket, the armouring provides mechanical reinforcement of the cable jacket. The armouring protects the interior of the cable from damage which may arise from radial forces (e.g. running over by vehicles or pressure of stones in the cable bed etc.) Under certain circumstances, the armouring can take over or assist the electrical function of the screen. Tapes as well as round or flat wires made of galvanized steel or aluminium are usually used as armouring material. If protection against chewing damage by rodents is merely required, thin, bare steel tapes are usually used. Non-metallic designs as protection against chewing damage by rodents or termites are provided by reinforcing the jacket with HDPE and PP.

Sheath, outer coveringFunctions as the outermost cover of a cable or insulated wire and is used as mechanical protection, as protection against water penetration and as protection against chemical influences. Mostly made of extruded polymers, but also of metal (lead, aluminium), impregnated fabric tapes etc.

GENERAL TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Terms for cables relating to their behaviour in case of fi re

Halogen free, non-corrosive combustion gasesThis property ensures that cable materials will generate zero or only small quantity of corrosive gases in case of fire. These gases can cause damage to machinery and other equipments without direct effect of fire. Cables with this property must comply with standard EN 60754.

Flame-retardant (“self-extinguishing”)This property ensures that a single cable will extinguish itself within a certain time after the ignition due to the use of almost non-flammable materials. Cables with this property must comply with standard EN 60332-1-2.

Enhanced flame-retardant (“reduced flame propagation”)This property ensures that there will be no spread of fire beyond the local source of ignition on bunched cables. Cables with this property must comply with standard EN 60332-3 series.

Low smoke emissionThis property ensures that a cable will generate only a minimum quantity of smoke in case of fire. Cables with this property must comply with standard EN 61034-2.

Insulation integrity (e.g. FE 180)This property ensures that a single cable will maintain insulation integrity for a certain time in case of fire. Cables with this property must comply with standards IEC 60331-21 or DIN VDE 0472-814.

Circuit integrity (e.g. E30, E90)This property ensures that a cable installation will maintain circuit integrity for a certain time in case of fire. It is important that in this case the entire cable system is considered, i.e. including installation materials (trays, ladders, cleats, etc.). Cables with this property must comply with standard DIN 4102-12.

The pairs within a group are identified by the basic colours of the insulation. These colours are repeated in each unit in the same order. In cables with 2 pairs (stranded as star-quad), the a-core (physical circuit 1) is bu, the b-core (physical circuit 1) is rd, the a-core (physical circuit 2) is gy and the b-core (physical circuit 2) is ye.

Group identification by printed helical tapes (“BdZ”)Groups are identified by helical plastic tapes which carry the printed group number.

Group identification by colour rings (“BdSi”) For the identification of groups, the cores contained therein are marked with colour rings. In cables with more than 12 groups, the additional groups are identified with coloured helical plastic tapes.

To distinguish the individual cores of each quad these are identified by colour rings. a-core physical circuit 1b-core physical circuit 1a-core physical circuit 2b-core physical circuit 2
