PVC Insulated PE Sheathed Drinking Water Pump Cable 0.6/1 kV
This 0.6/1 kV drinking-water pump cable combines flexible Class 5 plain copper conductors, PVC core insulation and a bright blue polyethylene outer sheath.
- 0.6/1 kV
- PVC core insulation and a bright blue polyethylene outer sheath
- Class 5 plain copper conductors
- 70 °C maximum conductor temperature
- 3G and 4G versions in 1.5 and 2.5 mm²
This 0.6/1 kV drinking-water pump cable combines flexible Class 5 plain copper conductors, PVC core insulation and a bright blue polyethylene outer sheath. The four listed configurations cover 3G and 4G constructions in 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² for small submersible pump connections and outdoor water-supply equipment.
Choose the conductor arrangement from the pump wiring diagram. The three-core version contains green/yellow, blue and brown cores. The four-core version contains green/yellow, brown, black and grey cores. Each configuration has its own nominal insulation diameter, finished cable diameter, mass and maximum tensile-force value in the specification table.
The PE outer sheath provides the water-facing surface, while PVC remains the electrical insulation around each conductor. This material combination has a maximum conductor temperature of 70 °C and an installation minimum of 0 °C. Coordinate handling, cable entries and support positions around those conditions when planning the route.
Use the finished nominal diameter to select the pump entry seal and allow the accessory supplier to confirm its compression range. Provide motor current, starting method, route length and the required 3G or 4G arrangement for sizing. Include the water composition and the applicable drinking-water contact requirements for the cable, joints and accessories. Water depth and water-temperature limits are confirmed for the project after enquiry. For installations requiring an EPR-insulated construction, compare the round drinking-water pump cable family in the related selection links.
Construction
Cable layers are listed from the conductor to the outer sheath.
| Layer | Construction |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Plain stranded copper, Class 5. |
| Insulation | PVC around each conductor. |
| Core arrangement | 3G or 4G round assembly with a green/yellow protective conductor. |
| Outer sheath | Bright blue PE. The PVC insulation remains part of the complete cable construction. |
Applications
Use this construction for small drinking-water submersible pumps and outdoor pump connections. Match the cable to the actual equipment, route and water medium before selecting the final configuration.
- Choose 3G or 4G from the pump wiring diagram and check the listed nominal diameter.
- Distinguish a PE sheath from a completely halogen-free cable; this construction contains PVC insulation.
- Plan installation at 0 °C or above and confirm the pump-entry sealing system.
PVC insulation and PE sheath selection
| Selection point | Design input |
|---|---|
| 3G or 4G | Match the motor connection to the listed core colours and protective conductor. |
| Circular entry | Check the nominal cable diameter and the seal’s applicable compression range. |
| Installation | Handle and install at 0 °C or above; observe the 70 °C conductor rating. |
| Material selection | PE is the outer sheath; the complete cable contains PVC insulation. Select a separate LSZH construction where required. |
