Its 3-layer construction comprises class 5 flexible bare copper (3g–4g 1.5–2.5), 0.6/1 kv pvc core insulation (hd 308 s2) and bright-blue water-impermeable pe sheath.

What is the minimum bending radius and operating temperature range for 0.6/1 KV (KTW / FOOD ZONE)?

The minimum bending radius for 0.6/1 KV (KTW / FOOD ZONE) is 8 × OD across its continuous operating temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C, ensuring mechanical and dielectric reliability in subsea, marine and submersible service.

How are the concentric layers of 0.6/1 KV (KTW / FOOD ZONE) arranged from inside to outside?

From inside to outside, the construction sequence is: (01) Class 5 Flexible Bare Copper (3G–4G 1.5–2.5) — Finely stranded annealed plain copper conductors for drinking-water & food-zone pumps; (02) 0.6/1 kV PVC Core Insulation (HD 308 S2) — High-dielectric PVC insulation color-coded Brown, Black, Grey & Green/Yellow (3.5 kV test); (03) Bright-Blue Water-Impermeable PE Sheath — Lead-free smooth PE jacket certified to German KTW (Kiwa) & EC 2002/72 food contact (150 m).

What factory test certificates are supplied with 0.6/1 KV (KTW / FOOD ZONE)?

Every production drum of 0.6/1 KV (KTW / FOOD ZONE) undergoes routine conductor resistance/continuity, high-voltage dielectric and dimensional testing per German UBA KTW (Kiwa) & EC Directive 2002/72/EC Food Zone, and is delivered with an EN 10204 3.1 factory test certificate.
