The 0.6/1 kV RV-K power cable is a premium flexible copper conductor cable designed for reliable power transmission in demanding industrial and commercial environments. This European standard harmonized cable features robust PVC insulation and sheathing that provides excellent mechanical protection, flame retardancy, and resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasion.

Manufactured to meet or exceed international standards including HD 22.1 S3, IEC 60227, and VDE 0281 specifications, our RV-K cable delivers superior performance with a rated voltage of 0.6/1 kV (600/1000V). The finely stranded copper conductors ensure exceptional flexibility and durability, making installation easier while maintaining optimal electrical conductivity even under continuous flexing conditions.

Applications

The versatile 0.6/1 kV RV-K cable is engineered for numerous applications including:

  • Industrial machinery and equipment wiring
  • Power supply for motors, transformers, and switchgear
  • Control panels and distribution boards
  • Factory automation systems and production lines
  • Construction site temporary power distribution
  • Agricultural equipment and irrigation systems
  • HVAC systems and climate control installations
  • Renewable energy installations (solar and wind power connections)
  • Pumping stations and water treatment facilities
  • Fixed installations in dry, damp, or wet locations (not for direct burial)
