FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

What do the letters 'T' and 'n' mean in KGTn and AKGTn?
In GOST 24334 nomenclature, 'KG' stands for flexible rubber cable, 'T' (теплостойкий) designates +90 °C heat-resistant rubber core insulation for ambient temperatures up to +55 °C, 'n' (найритовая) specifies an oil-resistant, flame-retardant polychloroprene outer sheath, and 'A' in AKGTn indicates a flexible multi-wire aluminium conductor.
How does KGTn differ from standard KG or KG-HL rubber cable?
Standard KG uses +75 °C natural/styrene rubber that is not oil-resistant, and KG-HL is optimized for -60 °C arctic cold, whereas KGTn upgrades to +90 °C heat-resistant insulation and an oil- and flame-resistant polychloroprene sheath for hot foundries, steel mills, and oily workshops. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
When is AKGTn (flexible aluminium) chosen instead of KGTn (copper)?
AKGTn is selected for single-core arc-welding leads and mobile crane or construction feeders where reducing cable weight by 40–50 % and lowering conductor cost are priorities. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
Can single-core KGTn and AKGTn be used as arc-welding electrode cables?
Yes, single-core KGTn (16–150 mm²) and AKGTn (25–150 mm²) are widely used as flexible welding electrode and return leads up to 660 V AC / 1000 V DC. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
