- Transparent production progress tracking and comprehensive pre-shipment testing (covering both electrical and mechanical performance) to ensure on-time delivery for urgent tender projects
- Remote technical consultation to assist with installation and troubleshooting for overseas projects
- Selection criteria: Clearly distinguish between YJV32 (steel-wire armored, offering tensile strength) and YJV22 (steel-tape armored, offering crush resistance only). Specify YJV32 only for applications involving long-distance vertical installation, steep slopes, areas prone to ground subsidence, or river crossings; use YJV22 for standard horizontal direct-burial installations to optimize project costs.
- Compliance with bending radius requirements: Strictly adhere to minimum bending radius specifications during conduit threading, routing around bends, and lifting operations. Excessive bending can deform the steel-wire armor structure, leading to wire displacement and internal insulation damage (such as hidden cracks caused by compression).
- Restrictions on single-core installation: Strictly prohibit the installation of three single-core YJV32 cables within a single enclosed steel conduit for long-distance runs; this prevents issues such as circulating current losses, abnormal cable overheating, and accelerated corrosion of the armor.
- Tension Control for Vertical Installation: During installation in extra-long vertical shafts, specialized cable fixing clamps must be installed at specific intervals to distribute tensile stress caused by the cable's own weight, thereby preventing armor layer slippage and conductor stretching or deformation resulting from excessive tension concentration.
- Direct Burial Installation Specifications: When directly burying YJV32 cables, a bedding layer of fine sand must be laid beneath and above the cable, and warning bricks or warning tape must be placed over it; direct contact between the outer sheath and sharp gravel or debris must be avoided to prevent sheath puncture or damage.
- Armor Layer Grounding Specifications: During cable termination, the steel wire armor layer must be reliably grounded at both ends; specialized armored cable connectors should be used to ensure a continuous grounding path and prevent the accumulation of induced voltage on the armor layer.
- Storage Management Regulations: Finished cable reels must be stored in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse; prolonged exposure to rain and direct sunlight outdoors must be avoided to delay sheath aging and extend shelf life.
- Voltage Application Limits: This product is a low-voltage cable rated at 0.6/1 kV; it must not be used in medium- or high-voltage transmission lines to avoid the risk of insulation breakdown due to overvoltage.
