What is VG-P1MvKrvasmb cable?
VG-P1MvKrvasmb: three-core armoured medium-voltage cable, copper, PP-TPE insulation, screened cores, PVC sheath under a steel armour and a flame retardant PVC outer sheath (HD 620 S3 12-J A.4). Rating: 10 and 15 kV industrial systems and power stations (A.4) (HD 620 S3 12-J); PP-TPE insulation, 90 C conductor (HD 620 S3 Part 1 2.1.1). Standard: HD 620 S3:2023 section 12-J, Appendix A.4 (p. 12-J-43) code designation and Appendix D NEN 3207 key (p. 12-J-47). seen: standard.
Appendix A.4: copper round stranded compacted, extruded semiconducting layers (insulation screen bonded), PP-TPE. Read 4 <- 3 <- 2 <- 1 as Appendix D sets out: V the outer covering over the G- armour, P1 the insulation, MvK the cable with its PVC sheath. Which armour A.4 prescribes was not copied here; drawn as steel wire, as the site draws VG-YMvK. The insulation is drawn without a material: the site has no PP-TPE material yet.

NEN / KEMA type names (Netherlands): how to read the cable type names
Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
Flame retardant (mb, VG-P1MvKrvasmb). The single-cable test behind class Eca is EN 60332-1-2 (the flame stops within 425 mm). Bunched cables are tested by IEC 60332-3-24 category C (1.5 l/m, 20 min, char at most 2.5 m), which is not a CPR class test; the CPR ladder test for B1ca to Dca is EN 50399.
PVC sheath (V).
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 →
