In-depth analysis: A complete guide to professional selection of 16kW charging pile cables

China [CN]

Product description: Today, as new energy vehicles are becoming more and more popular, 16kW charging pile cables have become the core element to ensure efficient charging. They are like the "lifeline" of charging piles, silently shouldering the heavy responsibility of stable and high-speed power transmission. Imagine that when you drive home after a busy day, you urgently need to replenish "energy" for your car. At this time, a high-performance charging pile cable can show its prowess. It can ensure that the current flows from the charging pile to the car battery without hindrance, accurately and stably, greatly shortening the charging time, so that you don't have to wait for a long time. ​

Specific to the application scenario, if it is a single-phase 220V power supply, through accurate power calculation, it can be known that the current is large during charging, so a copper wire of not less than 3×16mm² is required to carry the current to ensure safety and efficiency. In a three-phase 380V environment, the current per phase is relatively small, and a 5×6mm² copper wire can meet the demand. Of course, when the wiring distance is long, a 5×10mm² copper wire needs to be selected.​

Looking at the cable types, YJV cable has excellent heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and ultra-high mechanical strength, and its current carrying capacity is first-class, making it the best choice for the main line of charging piles; YJVR cable is based on YJV, but with added flexibility, which is particularly suitable for pipe wiring and occasions that require frequent bending and movement; RVV cable has good flexibility and is affordable. Although it is slightly inferior in heat resistance and current carrying, it can also play an important role in charging pile control signal transmission or short-distance power supply, and it can escort your charging pile power transmission in all directions, making every charging safe and convenient.
