Cable Conductors for IEC 60228

Copper wires5

IEC 60228 is a conductor standard for cables developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission, officially known as “Conductors of Insulated Cables”. It is the most fundamental and widely used conductor universal standard in the field of power cables worldwide.

Characteristics and functions

Standardize global conductor technology requirements to facilitate design, production, and international trade;
Ensure that the conductor resistance is qualified, reduce line losses, and guarantee power supply safety;
It is the basic conductor standard referenced by various cable standards, such as power cables, photovoltaic cables, American standard lines, and European standard lines.

As a leading power cable production supplier, we have extremely rich experience in the production of this cable. Our technical team can discuss your applicable environment and requirements to meet your specific needs.

Optional

  • Conductors are classified into solid conductors and stranded conductors, and are classified into different levels based on their flexibility;
  • Provide the maximum DC resistance value at 20 ℃ to ensure consistency in conductor conductivity and quality;

Main content

This standard mainly specifies the key requirements for the structure, size, resistance value, etc. of copper and aluminum conductors, and is applicable to various products such as power cables, control cables, and building wiring.

FAQ

Answers To Your Most Common Questions

What is IEC 60228 standard?

It is the internationally recognized standard for conductors used in insulated cables, which specifies the size, structure, and resistance requirements for cable conductors.

What materials does IEC 60228 mainly target?

Mainly targeting copper conductors and aluminum conductors.

What categories does this standard classify conductors into?

Divided into four categories based on softness: 1, 2, 5, and 6:
Class 1: Solid conductor
Class 2: Twisted hard conductor
Class 5, Class 6: Soft conductor (multi strand thin copper wire)

What is the core indicator of IEC 60228?

The core is the maximum DC resistance value at 20 ℃ to ensure the qualified conductivity of the conductor.
