IS 1554-1
IS 1554-1 is a BIS type names (India) cable designation: IS 1554-1 = PVC-insulated, PVC-sheathed power cable for working voltages up to and including 1100 V (IS 1554-1); IS 1554-1 = IS 1554-1: PVC-insulated, PVC-sheathed power cable up to and including 1.1 kV (the letter name, AYFY or AYWY, says the metal and the armour). Up to and including 1100 V a.c.; d.c. up to and including 1500 V to earth; 70 C (Type A PVC) or 85 C (Type C, marked HR 85), 160 C short circuit. IS 1554 (Part 1):1988 (reaffirmed 2020).

Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (IS 1554-1).
Typically targeted, as declared by makers for this kind of construction in the examples this site checked (not the class of this cable):
EcaN1XV-R, Ahlsell (seller)Cca-s3,d1,a3FG16OR16, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaU1000 R2V, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaN2XSY, Waskönig+Walter (10 kV datasheet)
Listed as sources, alphabetically by maker. No maker pays to appear here.
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 →

IS 1554-1 as the cable designer builds it, 3x16 1100 V
Overall diameter 19.1 mm, about 720 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.
| Layer | Material | Thickness, mm | Over the layer, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulation | PVC | 1.0 | 6.9 |
| Filler | PP | 14.9 | |
| Inner covering / bedding | PVC | 0.30 | 15.5 |
| Sheath | PVC | 1.8 | 19.1 |
IS 1554-1 on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 19.1 mm and about 720 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.
| Length | Drum size (its makers) | Layers | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 m | KTG 10 (1000 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 9 of 9 | 431–438 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 12 (1250 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 12 of 12 | 864–885 kg |
Barrel at least 15 × OD = 286 mm for a cable of this kind (Low voltage, multi-core): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
