RVMV-K and RVMAV-K Cables

The RVMV-K and RVMAV-K Cables are an armoured version of the flexible RV-K cable. Designed for low voltage 1kV power distribution in fixed installation, the Class 5 copper conductors are provided with mechanical protection by a layer of round wire armour. The armour allows for direct burial in the ground without additional protection. Single core cables are referenced as RVMAV-K - the 'A' designating the aluminium wires as opposed to the RVMV-K steel wire multicore versions. 

RVMV-K cables are designed for fixed installations, commonly specified for intrinsically safe environments, with applications across industries including petrochemical and power plants. The flexible conductors allow for easy termination in restricted spaces. The PVC outer sheathing provides a flame retardant barrier against environmental conditions, whilst the XLPE insulation permits an upper conductor operating temperature of +90oC. The RVMV-K cable is supplied with green/yellow cores as standard.

Specifying RVMV-K and RVMAV-K Cables

The RVMV-K and RVMAV-K cables are unusual in the combination of flexible conductors with wire armour.
