Wires are designed for lighting networks wiring, mounting and connection of equipment to alternating current power line with up to 380 V alternating voltage and 50 Hz frequency.
Wire models and their definitions shall correspond to the details given in the table below:
| Model | Definition |
| ПБВВ | wire with parallel laid conductors, in polyvinylchloride insulation and sheath |
| ПБВВГ | wire with parallel laid conductors, in polyvinylchloride insulation and sheath, flexible |
CONDUCTOR:copper, solid; copper, stranded
INSULATION: PVCcompound. One of the insulated conductors has a distinctive color. Insulation of ground conductor is green-and-yellow colored; neutral conductor insulation is blue colored. Insulated conductors are parallel laid.
SHEATH: PVCcompound. Sheath coloring is negotiable.
NUMBER OF CONDUCTORS:2, 3.
CONDUCTORAREA, mm²:1.0; 1.2; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3; 4; 5; 6.
Insulation electrical resistance for a length of 1 km at a temperature of +20°С is not less than:
- 7 M Ωfor 0.75 mm² conductor area;
