The product with the designation KG is a conventional power structure. Technical characteristics of the cable KG involve the use of multi-wire cores, as well as shell and insulation made of rubber. These products are used to connect mobile mechanisms to electric networks. The frequency should not exceed 400 Hz, and the voltage should go up to 660 V.
Devices of this type are designed for temperate climates, they can be placed in lakes and rivers, in the tropics. True, in this case, the technical characteristics of the KG cable may differ slightly, although the general principle of operation and operation remains the same.
KG cable and its design
It consists of a shell and insulation, as well as veins. If we talk about the first two elements, then they are usually made on the basis of butadiene and isoprene rubber. In addition, the design has a special winding made of polyethylene terephthalate film.
About technical specifications and operating conditions
- It can serve up to four years.
- The construction length may be different, depending on the cross section of the core inside. For example, with a cross section of 150 mm 2 and above, it is at least 100 meters. If the cross section is 50-100 mm 2 , then the construction length is at least 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 KG cable are selected depending on future operating conditions.
- The sun's rays do no harm.
- Multiple bends should not cause any problems either.
- 1.0 is the rated constant voltage, which is measured in kW.
- CG can be operated under conditions from minus forty to plus fifty.
- In this case, the temperature on the vein rarely exceeds 75 degrees.
Additional Cable Information
Additional alphabetic characters can be added to the usual brand designation so that customers understand the conditions under which a particular product can be used. For example, T is used for tropical designs. If the phrase “CL” is visible on the packaging, this means that the technical characteristics of the KG cable suggest its use in low temperature conditions.
Conductors themselves are excellent for tropical areas. The basis is copper wire, but it is additionally tinned with tin. Or it is coated with tin and lead alloy. Moreover, to achieve the best tin result, the composition should be at least 30 percent.
The number 0 indicates the grounding conductor, or it is painted in green-yellow color. This part of the design also affects the outer diameter of the KG cable. It should be noted that the colors of single-core and two-core cables are not standardized.
If the scheme is multi-core, then yellow, green, white, gray and red are not used for coloring. The instructions and technical documents usually write recommendations on how to be painted and used, for example, KG 1x25 cable. 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, then the cost will already be from five hundred or more rubles. The greater the length and the more conductive cores, the higher the cost will be, although wholesale manufacturers are given discounts.
