FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

What does every letter in the designation FG16(O)R16 stand for?
In Italian CEI cable nomenclature, 'F' denotes a Class 5 flexible copper conductor, 'G16' denotes 90 °C high-modulus cross-linked ethylene-propylene rubber (HEPR) insulation, '(O)' denotes an internal collectively copper-screened control/signal unit, and 'R16' denotes the CPR Cca-rated abrasion-resistant PVC outer sheath. Each production drum
Why is FG16(O)R16 widely used between DC EV rectifier cabinets and charging dispensers?
Split-architecture DC fast chargers house the AC/DC power modules in a central cabinet and run 400 V to 1,000 V DC underground to satellite dispensers. FG16(O)R16 carries the high-current DC+ and DC- power, the protective earth, and the copper-screened CAN/interlock/contactor pilot pair in one AD8 waterproof cable.
How does G16 HEPR insulation improve current capacity compared with standard PVC cables?
G16 high-modulus EPR operates continuously at +90 °C (vs. +70 °C for PVC) and handles +250 °C short-circuit temperatures (vs. +160 °C for PVC). This raises continuous ampacity by ~15 % and allows a smaller copper cross-section for 150 A to 350 A DC fast-charging feeders.
Why is the internal pilot pair '(O)' both 0.6/1 kV insulated and copper-braid screened?
Insulating the pilot cores with 0.6/1 kV G16 compound satisfies CEI 64-8 voltage co-existence rules without physical duct barriers, while the ≥ 85 % tinned copper braid screen blocks high-frequency IGBT switching ripple on the DC busbars from corrupting CAN or CP/PP control signals.
