9. Professional FAQ: Definitions and Industry Insights

FAQ – Industry Technical Terms

1. What does IEC 60332-1-2 mean?

IEC 60332-1-2 refers to the International Electrotechnical Commission’s standard for flame propagation testing on single insulated wires or cables. It ensures the building wire meets strict fire-retardant requirements and reduces flame spread in event of fire.

2. What are the core features of RVV H03V2V2-F/H03V2V2H2-F cables?

These cables feature fine stranded bare copper conductors, special PVC insulation and sheathing, and high flexibility (class 5). They are engineered for up to +90°C continuous temperature, good bending radius, and reliable fire protection.

3. What is “stranded copper” and why is it used?

Stranded copper refers to multiple thin copper strands twisted together, as opposed to a solid core. This grants better flexibility, easier installation through conduits, and improved vibration resistance—critical in building wiring and control panels.

4. What is the role of PVC insulation/jacket?

PVC insulation (TI2/TM2 types) provides electrical safety, flame retardancy, chemical and UV resistance, plus a smooth surface to reduce friction in cable trays and raceways.

5. Which installation standards apply?

IEC 60364, VDE 0100, and local building codes regulate installation of this wire type, specifying minimum bend radius, support frequency, and segregation from high-voltage runs for maximum safety.

6. How are fire resistance and insulation quality tested?

Every production lot is flame-propagation tested (IEC 60332-1-2), insulation resistance measured at 70-90°C, and routine voltage withstand (@2.0 kV AC) certified. Third-party labs routinely audit batches for durability and safety.

7. What is the maximum length per coil/drum?

Standard reel/coils: 100m, 500m, or 1000m (custom longer lengths upon request for industrial/commercial projects). Factory spooling is electronically monitored for accuracy and traceability.
