3.2 Rated voltage
. 300/500 v for cables with conductors having nominal cross-sectional areas not exceeding
1 mm2;
450/750 V for conductors larger than 1 mm2.3.3Construction
3.3.1 Conductor
Number of conductors: 3,4，5,6,9，12,16,18,20 or 24.
The combination of the cross-sectional areas and the number of conductors belonging to themis given in the following table 1 :
Values in parentheses are the non-preferred types.
The conductors shall comply with the requirements given in IEC 60228 for class 5 conductors.
The conductors of the cores in the side position may consist of copper wires and steel wires.The nominal geometric cross-sectional area of these conductors shall be equal to that of theother conductors and the maximum resistance shall be not more than twice the maximumresistance of a copper conductor of the same nominal cross-sectional area.
3.3.2Insulation
The insulation shall be polyvinyl chloride compound of type PVC/D applied around eachconductor.
The insulation thickness shall comply with the specified value given in table 4, column 2.The insulation resistance shall be not less than the value given in table 4, column 3.3.3.3 Arrangements of cores and strain-bearing members, if any
The cores shall be laid parallel. lt is permitted，however， that two, three,four or five coresmay be laid in groups; in such cases, a tearing thread may be inserted inside each group. ltshall be possible to ‘separate the cores without damage to the insulation.
Strain-bearing member(s) of textile material may be used.
A strain-bearing member (or members) of metal may also be used; in such a case (cases) it(they) shall be covered with a non-conducting abrasion-resistant material.
lf the cores are grouped, the groups shall comply with the following table 2:
