The product with the designation KG is a common power structure. The technical characteristics of the KG cable require the use of stranded conductors, as well as sheath and rubber insulation. These products are used to connect mobile mechanisms to electrical networks. In this case, the frequency should not exceed 400 Hz, and the voltage should not reach 660 V.

Attachments of this type are designed for temperate climates, they can be placed in lakes and rivers, in tropical conditions. True, in this case, the technical characteristics of the KG cable may differ somewhat, although the general principle of operation and operation remains the same.

KG cable and its construction

It consists of sheath and insulation, as well as cores. If we talk about the first two elements, then they are usually produced on the basis of butadiene and isoprene rubber. In addition, the design has a special winding made of polyethylene terephthalate film.

About specifications and conditionsoperation

1. 

   Can serve up to four years.

2. Building length may be different, depending on the cross section of the core inside. For example, with a cross section of 150 mm² and above, it is at least 100 meters. If the cross section is 50-100 mm², then the construction length is at least 125 meters. Finally, it is at least 150 meters with a cross section of up to 35 mm^{2 inclusive. So the specifications of the KG cable are selected depending on the future operating conditions.}
3. The sun's rays do no harm.
4. Multiple bends shouldn't cause any problems either.
5. 1.0 is the rated DC voltage, which is measured in kW.
6. KG can be operated under conditions from minus forty to plus fifty.
7. At the same time, the temperature on the core rarely exceeds 75 degrees.

More information about the cable

Additional alphabetic characters can be added to the usual brand designation so that customers understand in what conditions a particular product can be used. For example, T is used for a tropical design. If the phrase HL is visible on the package, this means that the technical characteristics of the KG cable require its use at low temperatures.

The conductors themselves are great for tropical climates. The basis is copper wire, but it is additionally tin-plated. Or covered with solder from an alloy of tin and lead. AtTo achieve the best result, the composition should contain at least 30 percent tin.

The number 0 indicates the ground wire, or it is painted green-yellow. This part of the design also affects the outer diameter of the KG cable. It should be noted that the colors of single-core and two-core cables are not standardized.

If the circuit is stranded, then yellow, green, white, gray and red are not used for coloring. In instructions and technical documents, recommendations are usually written on how, for example, the KG 1x25 cable should be painted and used. The price of products can also be different, it all depends on the specific technical characteristics. For example, the smallest section and a length of one meter will cost customers 20-30 rubles. If you need to order from 25 meters or more, for example, with five cores, then the cost will already be from five hundred or more rubles. The longer the length and the more conductive wires, the higher the cost, although discounts are given to wholesalers.
