How to read a DIN VDE 0271/0276 power cables (Germany) cable code

Fire behaviour (EU CPR)

A CPR class is declared by the maker in its Declaration of Performance and printed on the sheath (EN 50575 cl 7). This decoder does not assign one. What the CPR classes mean →

(N)A2XSYR(A)Y as the cable designer builds it, 1x95/16 12/20 kV

Overall diameter 37.5 mm, about 2,470 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.

(N)A2XSYR(A)Y on a drum

The smallest drum that passes every check, for 37.5 mm and about 2,470 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates within a few per cent of the cable makers' own tables: whole layers, wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim.

LengthDrum size (its makers)LayersGross weight
500 mKTG 18 (1800 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG7 of 81,576–1,648 kg
1,000 mKTG 20 (2000 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG8 of 82,949–3,070 kg

Barrel at least 25 × OD = 938 mm for a cable of this kind (Medium voltage, single core): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
