RZ1-K (AS)
Halogen-free flexible power cable, class 5 copper, XLPE, 0.6/1 kV
RZ1-K (AS) is the halogen-free counterpart of RV-K: the same flexible 0.6/1 kV cable with fine-stranded class 5 copper and XLPE, but with a green halogen-free sheath and class Cca-s1b,d1,a1. Supplied to order; the lead time is stated in the quote.
RZ1-K (AS) is a halogen-free, flexible 0.6/1 kV power cable to UNE 21123-4 for power transmission and distribution in fixed indoor and outdoor installations and for industrial use. It can be installed on open supports, in conduit or buried. Fine-stranded class 5 copper with XLPE insulation for 90 °C, under a green halogen-free sheath. Low smoke and limited fire propagation: class Cca-s1b,d1,a1.
Applications
- Fixed supply to distribution boards, machines and installations in buildings where the Bbl requires Dca or Cca.
- Awkward cable routes indoors and outdoors, on cable trays and in conduit.
- In the ground or in a buried duct, where the specification asks for halogen-free.
What to look out for
- Class 5 conductor: use ferrules or crimp lugs, never bare under a screw terminal.
- Not in an extra protected escape route: there the Bbl requires B2ca with smoke class s1.
- Install from 0 °C, measured on the cable itself. Warm a cold cable first, for example in a heated room.

In the ground: directly buried (method D2) or in conduit (method D1), at 25 °C and a soil thermal resistivity of 2.5 K·m/W; two loaded conductors for 2× and 3G, three for 3×, 4×, 4G and 5G. Voltage drop at cos φ = 1: single-phase for 2×, 3G and from 7 cores, three-phase for all other sizes. Resistance: the IEC 60228 class 5 maximum at 20 °C. A dash means on request.
The complete dimension and current-rating tables are in the datasheet.
RZ1-K (AS) or RV-K?
RZ1-K (AS)
- green halogen-free sheath
- class Cca-s1b,d1,a1
RV-K
- black PVC sheath
- class Eca
The same flexible construction. RV-K has a black PVC sheath and class Eca; RZ1-K (AS) has a green halogen-free sheath and Cca-s1b,d1,a1. Where the cable is installed permanently in a building and exposed to indoor air, the Bbl requires at least Dca: choose RZ1-K (AS) there.
