Orange Circular Building Cable 2 Core and Earth (3G) 10mm

Description

10mm² twin and earth, rated 0.6/1kV.

When a two-active circuit needs 10mm² of copper, the cable steps up in both conductor size and construction. The APEC MVM010E02 pairs red and black 10mm² actives with a 4mm² earth in an orange sheath, is rated 0.6/1kV under AS/NZS 5000.1, and is cut to the length you order.

Key Features:

• Circular orange PVC/PVC cable in 2C+E form
• Two 10mm² annealed copper active conductors
• 4mm² annealed copper earth conductor
• 0.6/1kV rating, manufactured to AS/NZS 5000.1
• 1.0mm average V90 insulation on actives and earth alike
• 1.8mm average PVC 5V90 sheath
• Conductor temperature rating of 90°C, continuous
• Red and black actives; green/yellow earth
• Approximately 14.6mm diameter and 40.0kg per 100m
• Purchased by the metre in any length

Why It Matters

A Different Class of Construction

The MVM010E02 is built to AS/NZS 5000.1 for 0.6/1kV, and it shows: every core carries 1.0mm of V90 insulation and the orange 5V90 sheath averages 1.8mm. The result is a cable about 14.6mm across that weighs close to 40.0kg per 100 metres, which is worth factoring into handling, fixing and conduit choices.

A 4mm² Earth With 10mm² Actives

APEC sizes the earth in this cable at 4mm², below the 10mm² actives. That is the published construction for this code, so check the earth against the protective earthing needs of your circuit and its protective device before selecting the cable. The red and black actives and the green/yellow earth all carry the same 1.0mm insulation thickness, so the earth is smaller in conductor area but not in insulation.

Buy It by the Metre

Heavier cable makes leftovers more expensive. Enter 15 metres, 50 metres or the number on your plan, and only that length is cut and sent. Use AS/NZS 3008.1.1 to establish whether 10mm² actives meet your load and voltage drop limits, and have a licensed electrician carry out and test the installation under AS/NZS 3000.

Q: What is the voltage rating of APEC MVM010E02?
A: APEC MVM010E02 is a 0.6/1kV cable manufactured to AS/NZS 5000.1, with conductors rated for 90°C continuous operation.

Q: What earth conductor does APEC MVM010E02 use?
A: It uses a 4mm² green/yellow earth, while the red and black actives are each 10mm².

Q: Is APEC MVM010E02 sold by the metre?
A: Yes. You enter the number of metres required and that length is cut and supplied to you.
