Technical characteristics of the cable KG and product features

A product with a designation KG is a conventional power structure. Technical characteristics of the cable KG assume the use of stranded cores, as well as the shell and insulation of rubber. These products are used to connect mobile mechanisms to electrical networks. The frequency in this case should not exceed 400 Hz, and the voltage - up to 660 V.

Devices of this type are designed for a temperate climate, they can be placed in lakes and rivers, in the tropics. However, in this case, the technical characteristics of the cable KG may be slightly different, although the general principle of operation and work remains the same.

Cable KG and its construction

It consists of a shell and insulation, and also of veins. If we talk about the first two elements, they are usually produced on the basis of butadiene and isoprene rubber. In addition, the design has a special winding, created from polyethylene terephthalate film.

About technical characteristics and operating conditions

1. Can serve up to four years.
2. The construction length can be different, depending on the cross-section of the veins inside. For example, with a cross section of 150 mm ² and above, it is not less than 100 meters. If the cross-section is 50-100 mm ² , then the construction length is not less than 125 meters. Finally, at least 150 meters it is at a cross section of up to 35 mm ² inclusive. So the technical characteristics of the cable KG Depending on future operating conditions.
3. The sun's rays do not do any harm.
4. Multiple bends, too, should not cause any problems.
5. 1.0 is the nominal DC voltage, which is measured in kW.
6. The KG can be operated under conditions from minus forty to plus fifty.
7. At the same temperature on the vein rarely exceeds 75 degrees.

Additional information about the cable

To the usual designation brands can add additional alphabetic characters, so that customers understand the conditions under which this or that product can be used. For example, T is used for a tropical design. If the packaging shows the phrase CL, it means that the technical characteristics of the cable KG assume its use in conditions of low temperature.

The conductors themselves are excellent for areas with tropical climate. The basis is copper wire, but it is additionally tin-plated. Or it is covered with a solder alloy of tin and lead. At the same time, to achieve the best result of tin in the composition should be at least 30 percent.

The digit 0 denotes the earth conductor, or it is painted in green-yellow color. This part of the design also affects the outer diameter of the cable. It should be noted that the coloring of solid and double-core cables is not standardized.

If the scheme is multifilament, then the colors do not use yellow, green, white, gray and red. In the instructions and technical documents usually write recommendations, how should be painted and used, for example, cable KG 1x25. The price of products can also be different, it all depends on the specific technical characteristics. For example, the smallest section and length of one meter will cost customers 20-30 rubles. If you need to order from 25 meters or more, for example, with five cores, the cost will already be from five hundred and more rubles. The longer the length and the more conductors, the higher the cost, although wholesale manufacturers make discounts.
