Product Description
1. Product Overview
The Yifang cathodic protection cable is a high-performance single-core copper conductor cable designed specifically for cathodic protection systems. It is engineered to provide reliable, long-term electrical connectivity for corrosion protection of buried metal structures, such as pipelines, storage tanks, and offshore facilities. With a rated voltage of DC 600V and an operating voltage range of 600/1000V, this cable meets the stringent requirements of industrial corrosion prevention applications, ensuring stable power transmission and signal integrity in harsh underground and marine environments.
2. Core Construction & Material Specifications
The cable features a high-purity copper conductor composed of multiple round copper strands, as visible in the product cross-section. Copper is selected for its exceptional electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and corrosion resistance, which minimize power loss during current transmission and enhance the cable's ability to withstand bending and installation stresses. The stranded design also improves the cable's flexibility, making it easier to handle and install in complex field conditions.
Insulation & Sheath Materials
- Insulation: The conductor is insulated with HMWPE (High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride), or Kynar (a PVDF-based polymer). These materials offer excellent dielectric properties, high thermal stability, and resistance to chemical degradation, ensuring reliable electrical insulation even in aggressive soil and chemical environments. PVDF and Kynar further provide enhanced flame resistance and UV stability, extending the cable's service life in outdoor applications.
- Sheath: The outer sheath is made of HMWPE or Kynar, which acts as a robust protective layer against mechanical damage, moisture, and chemical attack. HMWPE is known for its high impact resistance and low moisture absorption, while Kynar offers superior resistance to hydrocarbons, acids, and solvents, making it ideal for use in industrial and coastal areas.
Core Number & Shape
The cable is a single-core (1 Core) round wire design. The round shape ensures uniform stress distribution and ease of installation, while the single-core configuration simplifies connection to cathodic protection rectifiers, anodes, and test stations, reducing the risk of electrical faults and improving system reliability.
3. Key Performance & Application Features
Flame Retardancy
The cable is classified as flame retardant, complying with relevant safety standards. This feature is critical for applications where fire risk is a concern, such as near fuel pipelines or industrial facilities, as it prevents the spread of flames and reduces smoke emission in the event of a fire.
Environmental Resistance
- Chemical Resistance: The insulation and sheath materials resist corrosion from soil acids, alkalis, and petroleum products, making the cable suitable for installation in contaminated soil and industrial zones.
- Moisture Resistance: Low moisture absorption of HMWPE and PVDF ensures the cable maintains its electrical properties even in waterlogged or high-humidity environments, preventing insulation breakdown and extending service life.
- Mechanical Durability: The stranded copper conductor and robust sheath provide excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, and tensile stress, enabling the cable to withstand the rigors of underground installation, backfilling, and long-term soil movement.
Application Range
Primarily used in cathodic protection systems, this cable is essential for connecting impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) anodes, sacrificial anodes, and monitoring equipment to the protected metal structure. It is widely deployed in oil and gas pipelines, water pipelines, storage tanks, offshore platforms, and other buried or submerged metal assets, preventing electrochemical corrosion and extending the service life of these critical infrastructures.
4. Compliance & Certification
The Yifang cathodic protection cable meets rigorous international and national standards, including:
- ISO 9001: Certified for quality management systems, ensuring consistent product quality and manufacturing processes.
- CE: Conforms to European Union health, safety, and environmental protection standards, enabling export to European markets.
- CCC: China Compulsory Certification, verifying compliance with Chinese national safety and quality requirements.
- Applicable Standards: GB16702 (Chinese standard for electrical cables) and 17-Samss-017, ensuring the cable meets the specific technical requirements of cathodic protection applications.
5. Packaging, Origin & Production Capacity
Packaging
The cable is supplied on wooden drums, steel drums, or steel-wooden drums, which provide secure protection during transportation and storage. These drums prevent cable tangling, mechanical damage, and moisture ingress, ensuring the product arrives in pristine condition for on-site installation.
Origin & Production Capacity
- Origin: Manufactured in China, leveraging advanced production facilities and quality control systems to deliver cost-effective, high-quality products.
- Production Capacity: With an annual production capacity of 50,000 km, Yifang can meet large-scale project demands, including long-distance pipeline projects and regional corrosion protection infrastructure upgrades, ensuring timely delivery and supply stability.
6. Brand & Trademark
The cable is marketed under the Yifang brand and trademark, a recognized name in the electrical and corrosion protection industry. Yifang's reputation for quality, reliability, and technical expertise makes this cable a trusted choice for engineers, contractors, and asset owners worldwide.
7. HS Code & Trade Information
The product is classified under HS Code 8544492100, which covers insulated electric conductors (other than coaxial) for a voltage not exceeding 1000V. This HS code facilitates smooth customs clearance and international trade, ensuring compliance with global import/export regulations.
In summary, the Yifang cathodic protection cable combines high-quality materials, robust construction, and compliance with international standards to deliver a reliable, long-lasting solution for corrosion protection systems. Its excellent electrical performance, environmental resistance, and flame retardancy make it an ideal choice for critical infrastructure applications, ensuring the integrity and longevity of buried and submerged metal assets.
