ÖPVC-JZ/OZ-CYö 1 000 V UL/CSA: one screened EMC control cable for IEC and North American machines

An engineering guide to a dual-rated screened PVC control cable with a tinned copper braid of 85 % ± 5 % coverage: UL 1 000 V and IEC 450/750 V, cURus 80 °C, increased mineral-oil resistance, a 6 kV test voltage and bunched-cable fire performance to IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C and CSA FT1.

Engineer’s summary: this cable combines dual UL/CSA–IEC compliance, EMC screening, increased mineral-oil resistance and bunched-cable fire performance. A machine builder can use one screened control cable for both markets. Remember two limits: it is AWM (equipment wiring), not an NEC field-wiring tray cable, it must not be flexed below −5 °C, and the moved bending radius is 20 × d.

1. Reading the designation

JZ = with GNYE and numbered cores (‘G’); OZ = without GNYE (‘x’). C denotes the tinned copper braid; Yö the oil-resistant PVC sheath (‘ö’ for Öl, oil). 1 000 V UL/CSA refers to the UL Style 2570 / CSA AWM rating; the same cable is rated 450/750 V under IEC.

2. Construction

The tinned braid is applied directly over the core assembly, giving a compact screened cable. The sheath compound is formulated for increased mineral-oil resistance and bunched-cable flame performance, and the insulation system is dimensioned for the UL 1 000 V rating and a 6 kV test.

4. Fire performance: what each test proves

Flame tests met by the cable
TestConfigurationWhat it demonstrates
IEC 60332-1Single vertical cable, 1 kW burnerSelf-extinguishing; flame does not travel along a single cable
IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. CBunched vertical cables, 1.5 l/m non-metallic volume, 20 minReduced fire propagation in cable trays and risers
CEI 20-22 IIItalian bunched-cable testAcceptance in Italian installations
NBN C30-004 Cat. F2Belgian flame-propagation categoryAcceptance in Belgian installations
CSA FT1Vertical flame test, CanadaCanadian flame rating for the AWM listing
IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C is a propagation test, not fire resistance: the cable is not designed to keep circuits working during a fire. Where circuit integrity is required, specify a fire-resistant cable.

EMC and termination

1. Bond the braid 360° with EMC glands at both ends for drive and switching noise; avoid pigtails. 2. Use UL-listed EMC glands for North American panels. 3. Segregate screened control cables from unscreened power cables. 4. For ground-loop-sensitive analogue signals, follow the equipment manufacturer.

5. Full dimension and weight tables

All 81 constructions are listed, grouped by cross-section. Outer diameters are supplier values; bending radii are calculated from them.

Power, control and connecting cable in electrical facilities where increased mineral-oil resistance is required. For fixed laying and flexible applications with free movement, without tensile stress and without forced guidance. Suitable for dry, humid and wet rooms. Outdoor use only with UV protection; not for burial. Where mechanical damage risk exists, install in tubes, channels or similar. Recommended for EMC applications.

IEC installation: DIN VDE base rating × f(ambient) × f(grouping) × f(loaded cores) UL/NEC equipment: use the ampacity basis of the applicable product standard (e.g. NFPA 79 for industrial machinery) Short-circuit (PVC, Cu): I_k ≈ 115 × S / √t e.g. 5 G 16, t = 0.5 s → ≈ 2.6 kA Voltage drop: ΔU = √3 × I × L × (R cosφ + X sinφ) Bending: fixed R ≥ 6 × d · moved R ≥ 20 × d e.g. 50 G 1.5 (d = 23.8 mm): 143 mm / 476 mm Moved below −5 °C: not permitted

9. Certification and traceability

This cable carries cURus recognition (80 °C, 1 000 V) under UL Style 2570 and CSA AWM I A/B II A/B, meets IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C, CEI 20-22 II, NBN C30-004 F2 and CSA FT1, and is RoHS-conform, CE-conform to 2014/35/EU and LABS-/silicone-free during production. FeiChun Cable backs this with a complete export certification portfolio — including CE, UKCA, VDE, EAC, ATEX and IECEx — and every certificate supplied is checked against the exact type, voltage, factory and standard of the order.

Routine tests

Conductor resistance, 6 kV voltage test, braid continuity, insulation resistance, core numbering, dimensions and marking.

Type tests

Bunched flame (IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C), CSA FT1, mineral-oil immersion, sheath ageing.

Delivery documents

Approved datasheet, test report per drum, UL/CSA marking, batch number and length marking.

10. FAQ

Why two voltage ratings?

UL/CSA AWM Style 2570 rates the cable at 1 000 V; under IEC it is rated 450/750 V. One cable can therefore be used in a machine shipped to either market.

What does cURus mean?

UL Recognized Component marking valid for both the US and Canada, here for 80 °C and 1 000 V as appliance wiring material (AWM).

Is AWM the same as a field-wiring tray cable?

No. AWM is for wiring within equipment and machines. Field wiring in buildings under the NEC normally requires listed types such as TC-ER. Check the installation code.

What is IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C?

A bunched-cable vertical flame test: a defined non-metallic volume of cables must not propagate flame beyond a set height. It is stricter than the single-cable IEC 60332-1 test.

Why −5 °C when moved?

The oil-resistant sheath compound is optimised for oil resistance and fire behaviour; below −5 °C, avoid flexing. Fixed installation remains possible down to −40 °C.

How many cores?

From 2 to 61 cores in 0.75–1.5 mm², up to 34 cores in 0.5 and 2.5 mm², and 2–5 cores from 4 to 16 mm².
