Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does BVVB stand for?

B: Fixed wiring cable (Chinese standard classification)
V: PVC insulation
V: PVC sheath
B: Flat type design

BVVB is a flat-type PVC insulated and sheathed copper cable designed for fixed electrical installations where space-saving and surface mounting are required.

2. What are the standard voltage ratings for BVVB cable?

300/300V: For low-voltage lighting and signal circuits
300/500V: Most common for residential and commercial applications
450/750V: For higher power applications and industrial use
Special Versions: 250/440V for specific markets, 600/1000V for industrial applications

3. Where is BVVB cable typically used?

Residential buildings: Surface-mounted wiring for sockets and lighting
Commercial spaces: Office power distribution, retail store installations
Renovation projects: Retrofitting existing buildings without concealed conduits
Temporary installations: Exhibition booths, stage wiring, construction sites
Furniture manufacturing: Built-in electrical systems for cabinets and displays

4. What is the temperature rating of BVVB cable?

Normal operating temperature: -15°C to +70°C
Maximum conductor temperature: 70°C continuous operation
Short-circuit withstand: 160°C for maximum 5 seconds
Installation temperature: Minimum 0°C to prevent sheath damage

5. What safety standards does BVVB comply with?

International: IEC 60227
