IEC 60502-1 CCVS Screened Control Cable 600V
IEC 60502-1 referenced CCVS Screened Control Cable is a multicore copper control cable with XLPE insulation, annealed copper-tape shielding and a black PVC outer sheath. It is intended for control circuits requiring electrostatic shielding in underground ducts, conduit and open-air installations, with a listed circuit voltage not exceeding 600V.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
CCVS Screened Control Cable uses stranded annealed copper conductors insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). The insulated cores are assembled with optional non-hygroscopic filler and optional polyester (Mylar) binding tape, then wrapped with a 0.1 mm annealed copper tape shield and protected by a black PVC outer sheath.
The defining feature of CCVS is the overall copper-tape shield. This construction is intended for control circuits where electrostatic interference may affect signal stability or control reliability, especially when cables are routed through underground ducts, conduit or open-air industrial installations.

WHY CCVS USES AN OVERALL COPPER-TAPE SHIELD
CCVS is selected when a conventional unshielded control cable may be exposed to electrostatic interference from nearby power circuits, switching equipment or other electrical sources. The 0.1 mm annealed copper tape forms an overall metallic shield around the multicore assembly, giving the cable a dedicated screening layer that is not present in the corresponding CCV construction.
For a project installation, the shield termination and grounding method should be defined by the electrical or EMC design. The product data specifies the copper-tape shield itself but does not prescribe a universal grounding arrangement.
PRODUCT APPLICATIONS
- Control circuits requiring electrostatic shielding.
- Underground duct installations.
- Conduit installations.
- Open-air industrial control wiring.
- Supervisory and station-control circuits where a screened multicore cable is required.
- Control panels and field-control circuits routed near electrically noisy equipment.

From Production to Delivery
From raw material preparation to final shipmen, every stage is caretuly controled to ensure consistent conductor quality, reliable pertormance,and sae delivery. Our roduction,
inspection, packaging, and logistics processes are managed in accordance with applicable standards and project requirements.
Production
Stranded annealed copper conductors are insulated with XLPE, assembled into the required multicore configuration, optionally filled and bound with polyester tape, wrapped with the specified 0.1 mm annealed copper tape shield, then covered with the black PVC sheath.
Inspection
Inspection focuses on conductor construction, insulation condition, core identification, copper-tape screen continuity and coverage, sheath integrity, overall diameter, conductor resistance and test-voltage requirements.
Packaging
Finished cable is wound on suitable drums according to ordered size, weight and length. Cable ends are protected and drum identification can include cable type, conductor size, core count, length and project reference.
Shipping
Before shipment, cable drums and technical documents are checked against the order. Inspection records, product identification and requested test documentation can be prepared for project approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I confirm if my specification calls for IEC 60502-1?
Confirm the exact edition, voltage class and acceptance documents required by the project. The product data references IEC 60502-1 but lists a circuit voltage not exceeding 600V, while the current IEC 60502-1:2021 scope is for 1 kV and 3 kV rated AC cables. For formal approval, ask the manufacturer to confirm the applicable test basis and provide project-specific documentation.
When should I choose CCVS instead of an unshielded CCV control cable?
Choose CCVS when the control or signal circuit is exposed to electrostatic interference and the project calls for an overall metallic screen. The 0.1 mm annealed copper tape adds a dedicated shielding layer around the multicore assembly. If screening is not required, an unshielded CCV cable may offer a simpler and more economical construction.
Can this CCVS cable be installed in underground ducts or conduit?
Yes. The product data specifically lists underground duct, conduit and open-air installation as intended applications. For an actual project, cable diameter, bend space, gland dimensions and mechanical protection should still be checked against the selected core count and conductor size.
How should the copper-tape shield be grounded?
The cable provides a 0.1 mm annealed copper tape overall shield, but the product data does not define one universal grounding method. Shield termination should follow the project EMC and grounding philosophy, equipment requirements and local installation practice. This is especially important where the cable connects control panels, instrumentation or sensitive field equipment.
How do I choose the correct conductor size and number of cores?
Start from the number of control functions, circuit length and electrical requirements, then select the conductor size and core count. The listed range includes 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6 and 10 mm² conductors with up to 30 cores, depending on the configuration. After electrical selection, verify overall diameter and cable weight against conduit, tray and termination space.
Can a flame-retardant sheath be supplied?
Yes. The standard construction uses a black PVC outer sheath, and the product data states that a special flame-retardant sheath can be supplied. If the project has a specific flame-test requirement, include the exact test standard or performance requirement in the inquiry so the offered construction can be confirmed.
