PP/R
PP/R is a JUS / SRPS / HRN N.C0.006 type names (former Yugoslavia) cable designation: P = PVC insulation; P = PVC sheath; /R = /R: flat cable, cores laid side by side in a PVC web (for plaster); PP/R = PP/R: flat PVC installation cable, the cores laid side by side in a PVC web (NYIFY, for laying in plaster). 380 V, test voltage 2 kV (Novkabel p.41). SRPS N.C3.230.

What is PP/R cable?
PP/R: flat PVC installation cable, the cores laid side by side in a PVC web (NYIFY, for laying in plaster). Rating: 380 V, test voltage 2 kV (Novkabel p.41). Standard: SRPS N.C3.230.
Novkabel pdf p.41: 'PVC compound layer over 2 or 3 cores, which are laid parallel', grey or black, sizes 2x1,5 to 3x2,5. Kabeltrade: 'NIYFY-J: PP/R, YDY'; Blue Line: 'Kabl PP/R (NYIFY)'. Kabeltrade comparison table and elteh.net 'Stare i nove oznake kabela' print the same pairs.

JUS / SRPS / HRN N.C0.006 type names (former Yugoslavia): how to read the cable type names
Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (P, PP/R).
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 →
Sources: EN 13501-6 draft and FprEN 50575:2014 final draft (drafts, not the published texts); IEC 60332-3-24:2000+A1:2008; EN 13501-3 draft A2.
PP/R: equivalents in other countries
Shown for 1x16 0.6/1 kV. Each country's rules are applied to this build, keeping the conductor, section, cores, voltage, screen, armour and sheath.
| Country | Standard | Name in that country | Verdict | Differences |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | HD 603 3-G (DIN VDE 0276-603) | NYY 1x16 RM 0,6/1 kV | Close | Sheath 1.4 → 1.8 mm; Overall diameter 9.7 → 10.5 mm; this cable as built misses 2 of its rules |
| India | IS 1554 (Part 1) | YY 1x16 1100 V (the code letters of IS 1554 (Part 1):1988 cl. 17.3) | Close | rated 0.635/1.1 kV (same Um 1.2 kV); routine voltage test 3 kV a.c., 5 min (this cable 3.5 kV; IS 1554 (Part 1) cl. 16.2, IS 7098 (Part 1) cl. 17.2.1, IEC 60502-1 Table 11); Sheath 1.4 → 1.8 mm; Overall diameter 9.7 → 10.5 mm; this cable as built misses 1 of its rules |
Nominal values computed by each standard's rules, not manufacturer data. This is not a statement that two cables are interchangeable: the buyer's specification and the maker's type test decide.
PP/R as the cable designer builds it, 1x16 0.6/1 kV
Overall diameter 9.7 mm, about 220 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 |
| Sheath | PVC | 1.4 | 9.7 |
PP/R on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 9.7 mm and about 220 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates: whole layers wound nested (each turn in the groove of the layer below), wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim. Cable makers' own tables print less, as they count aligned layers.
| Length | Drum size (its makers) | Layers | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 m | KTG 6 (600 mm flange), plywood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka | 12 of 14 | 117 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 8 (800 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 16 of 16 | 251–255 kg |
Barrel at least 20 × OD = 194 mm for a cable of this kind (Low voltage, single core): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.
