0.6/1kV Copper PVC Insulated PVC Sheathed Fire Resistant Cable – Flexible Power Cable (VV-FR / NH-VVR)

0.6/1kV Copper PVC Insulated PVC Sheathed Fire Resistant Cable – Flexible Power Cable (VV-FR / NH-VVR)

Product Overview

The VV-FR / NH-VVR cable is a flexible, fire-resistant power cable rated at 0.6/1kV. It features copper conductor, PVC insulation, and PVC sheath with enhanced fire-resistant performance. Designed for critical power circuits where circuit integrity during fire is essential. Complies with IEC 60331 / BS 6387 (CWZ) fire resistance standards

Key Specifications

Fire Resistance Performance

• Maintains circuit integrity under direct fire for 90–180 minutes (depending on rating)

• Meets IEC 60331-21 (750°C, 90 min)

• Optional compliance with BS 6387 (CWZ – flame, water, mechanical shock)

• Flame retardant & low smoke emission optional (upon request)

Construction

1. Copper Conductor – Class 5 flexible stranded copper (high conductivity)

2. Mica Glass Tape – Fire resistant layer (for NH type)

3. PVC Insulation – Color-coded (Red, Yellow, Blue, Green/Yellow, etc.)

4. Bedding – Optional PVC or tape

5. PVC Outer Sheath – Black or customized, flame retardant

Applications

• Emergency lighting & power systems

• Fire alarms & smoke extraction systems

• Elevators & ventilation systems

• Industrial plants, tunnels, underground railways

• High-rise buildings (fire safety circuits)

• Suitable for fixed installation in conduits, cable trays, or direct burial (wet/dry conditions)

Why Choose VV-FR / NH-VVR?

 Installation & Bending Radius

• Minimum bending radius (fixed installation): 6 × overall diameter

• Minimum bending radius (flexible use): 10 × overall diameter

• Temperature during installation: 0°C to +50°C

Certifications

• IEC 60331-21 (Fire resistance)

• BS 6387 (Category CWZ)

• IEC 60332-1 (Flame retardant)

• RoHS compliant

• ISO 9001:2015 manufacturer

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, but additional UV protection is recommended for direct sunlight. Standard PVC sheath is for indoor/dry/wet locations.

Q: What is the difference between VV-FR and NH-VVR?
A: They are similar. NH indicates "fire resistant" (non-halogen optional). VV-FR is a common code for PVC/PVC fire resistant cable.

Q: Can it be used in 1000V systems?
A: Yes. Rated 0.6/1kV means suitable for 1000V phase-to-phase.

Q: Does it pass the BS 6387 water test?
A: If specified as BS 6387 CWZ, yes. Standard IEC 60331 does not include water spray.
