Today, manufacturers produce a large number of conductors with a wide range of performance characteristics and parameters. The main advantages of these products include reliability in use and ease of laying electrical lines. This category includes PUGV wire. The product is flexible and has PVC insulation, which allows it to be used in the construction of communication networks or power lines. However, it requires protection from sunlight.
Technical specifications
Production of the conductor is based on GOST 6323-79. This means that the finished product has the following technical characteristics:
- cable equipped with copper cores placed in polyvinylchloride insulation;
- possibility of application in the network with direct or alternating current;
- The conductor is capable of withstanding a direct voltage of 1000 V and an AC voltage of 450 to 750 V, with a maximum frequency of 400 Hz
- maximum heating of the cable +70°С;
- it is allowed to operate the cable in the temperature range from -50°С to +70°С;
- maximum ambient humidity - 98%;
- installation work is allowed at a temperature not lower than -15 ° C, lower temperatures affect the flexibility properties of the insulation;
- the cable is resistant to shock action and mechanical stress;
- has a high level of safety;
- Sheath able to withstand heating up to +160 ° C;
- PVC insulation does not support combustion;
- The minimum bending radius is 5 wire diameters;
- The service life of the wire is 20 years, provided the rules of installation are observed.
Now PUGV wire is made in a wide range of colors, which greatly simplifies the installation and subsequent repair of electrical systems. Guided by the scheme and color palette, it is almost impossible to get confused.
It should be noted that among the manufacturers there is no clear agreement on the color cable products, and GOST this parameter is not regulated in any way. The only requirement is ground loop should be yellow or green. There are kinds that use two-color wires.
Where PUGV is used
PUGV wires belong to the multifunctional cable products, and therefore have an extensive field of application. It's all about the cross section, the minimum diameter of which can be 0.5 mm², and the maximum - 400 mm². Focusing on these parameters, you can create both switching and power lines.
Important! When carrying out installation in open areas it is necessary to use protective constructions. This can be special trays or boxes. It is also possible to use any kind of pipe. The main task here: Do not allow direct penetration of ultraviolet light on the insulation. Recall that the sun's rays have a destructive effect on the polyvinyl chloride material.
The most popular PUGV wire is used in the home. It is suitable for equipping electrical wiring in rooms under protective or decorative materials. It can be hidden inside stretch or suspended ceilings, as well as under plaster. It is often used to install the network inside brickwork or monolithic concrete. All this is made possible by the presence of wire insulation.
How to decipher the abbreviation PUGV
PUGV - deciphering:
- "Pu" - installation wire;
- "G" - has flexible properties;
- "B" - cable insulation is made of polyvinyl chloride.
In addition, there are additional marking of wires: the letters at the end of the row denote the name of the section. For example, "NG"defines that the cable belongs to the group of conductors that do not support combustion - non-combustible. It looks like this: PUGVNG ..
Thanks to its universal properties, this conductor has become one of the most popular products in its industry. Wiring is done everywhere, from trivial wiring in the apartment to the power lines.
