PV1, PV3, APV

CONDUCTORS PV1, PV3, APV
TU U 27.3-33527835-003:2015

Single-core conductors for electrical installations with aluminum or copper conductors and insulation made from polyvinyl chloride plastic.
Conductors PV1, PV3, and APV are competitively priced. Aluminum alloy is an affordable material. However, based on technical and operational parameters, it rightfully leads the cable industry market.
Abbreviation breakdown provides comprehensive information about the product's primary characteristics:

• A - aluminum, the material of the conductive core;
• P - wire;
• V - vinyl or PVC, the insulation material. These polymers are dielectrics, meaning they do not conduct electricity;
• 1 - first flexibility class - rigid. The minimum bending radius is approximately 8 to 10 times the diameter.
  This class corresponds to a cable with low flexibility, designed for fixed installations.
• 3 - third flexibility class. The minimum bending radius is approximately 4-6 times the diameter.
  They are suitable for high-mobility applications.

CONSTRUCTION

1. Current-carrying conductor:
• for APV wires – aluminum, single-wire of the 1st class for cross-sections from 2.5 to 16 mm² inclusive, multi-wire – 2nd class for cross-sections from 25 to 120 mm² inclusive, according to DSTU EN 60228;
• for PV1 wires – copper, single-wire of the 1st class for cross-sections from 0.5 to 10 mm² inclusive, multi-wire – 2nd class for cross-sections from 16 to 95 mm² inclusive, according to DSTU EN 60228;
• for PV3 wires – copper, multi-wire of the 5th flexibility class according to DSTU EN 60228.
2. Insulation – made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic in various colors. The color of the cores is solid.
