1. Product-Specific Details
1.1 Specification Parameters
The 2.5mm² and 4mm² BVR building electric wires come with precise specification parameters that make them suitable for various building electrical applications.
For the 2.5mm² wire, the conductor is composed of 19 strands of fine
Copper Wires. Each of these strands has a diameter of approximately 0.41mm. When twisted together, they form a conductor with a total cross-sectional area of 2.5mm². This specific stranding configuration is not arbitrary; it is carefully designed to balance
Flexibility and conductivity. The 19 strands allow for easy bending and maneuvering without compromising the overall strength of the conductor.
The 4mm² wire, on the other hand, consists of 49 strands of copper wires, each with a diameter of about 0.32mm. The higher number of strands in the 4mm² wire is necessary to achieve the larger cross-sectional area while maintaining the flexibility that is a key characteristic of BVR wires. This larger cross-sectional area means it can carry more current compared to the 2.5mm² wire, making it suitable for higher-power applications.
In terms of insulation, both wire sizes feature a
PVC Insulation layer. The 2.5mm² wire has an insulation thickness of approximately 0.8mm, and the 4mm² wire has an insulation thickness of about 0.9mm. This difference in insulation thickness is proportional to the conductor size, ensuring that the insulation provides adequate protection for each respective wire. The insulation is designed to tightly wrap around the conductor, leaving no gaps that could lead to electrical leakage.
The overall diameter of the 2.5mm² wire, including the insulation, is around 3.5mm, while the 4mm² wire has an overall diameter of approximately 4.2mm. These dimensions are crucial for determining the suitability of the wires for different installation scenarios, such as passing through conduits of specific sizes.
Both wires are rated for use in AC 50Hz electrical systems with a rated voltage of 450/750V. This voltage rating indicates that the wires can safely operate at voltages up to 450V between conductors and 750V between conductors and ground, making them suitable for most low-voltage building electrical systems.
1.2 Material Characteristics
The choice of materials for these BVR wires is critical to their performance and reliability.
The conductor is made from high-purity electrolytic copper. Electrolytic copper is chosen because of its exceptional electrical conductivity. With a purity level of at least 99.9%, it ensures that the wires have minimal electrical resistance, allowing for efficient current transmission. This high conductivity is essential in building electrical systems to minimize energy loss and prevent excessive heating, which can lead to safety hazards.
In addition to conductivity, the copper used in the conductors undergoes annealing treatment. Annealing is a heat treatment process that softens the copper, making it more malleable and flexible. This treatment is particularly important for BVR wires, which require a high degree of flexibility for easy installation in various building structures. The annealing process also helps to reduce internal stresses in the copper, improving its durability and resistance to fatigue from repeated bending.
The insulation layer is made of high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC is a popular choice for wire insulation due to its excellent combination of properties. It has good electrical insulation properties, which prevent current leakage and ensure the safe operation of the electrical system. PVC is also resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and oils, which makes the wires suitable for use in environments where they may come into contact with such substances.
Furthermore, the PVC insulation has good mechanical strength, providing protection against physical damage such as abrasion and impact during installation and use. It is also resistant to aging, ensuring that the insulation remains effective over a long period of time, even when exposed to varying temperatures and environmental conditions. The flame-retardant properties of the PVC insulation are another key advantage, as they help to prevent the spread of fire in case of a short circuit or other electrical breakdown.
1.3 Production Process
The production of 2.5mm² and 4mm² BVR building electric wires involves a series of precise and well-controlled processes to ensure their quality and performance.
The first step in the production process is the selection and preparation of the copper raw material. High-purity copper cathodes are used as the starting material. These cathodes are melted and cast into copper rods, which are then drawn into fine copper wires through a series of dies. The drawing process reduces the diameter of the copper rods to the required size for the individual strands of the conductor. During drawing, the copper wires are lubricated to reduce friction and prevent damage to the surface of the wires.
After drawing, the individual
Copper Strands are annealed. This is done by heating the wires to a specific temperature and then allowing them to cool slowly. The annealing process softens the copper, improves its ductility, and enhances its electrical conductivity. It also removes any residual stresses that may have been introduced during the drawing process.
Once the individual strands are prepared, they are twisted together to form the conductor. The stranding process is carried out using specialized machinery that ensures the strands are twisted evenly and tightly. For the 2.5mm² wire, 19 strands are twisted together, and for the 4mm² wire, 49 strands are used. The stranding pattern is designed to maximize the flexibility of the conductor while ensuring that it has sufficient mechanical strength.
After the conductor is formed, the next step is to apply the PVC insulation. This is done using an extrusion process. The conductor is passed through a die, and molten PVC is extruded around it, forming a continuous insulation layer. The extrusion process is carefully controlled to ensure that the insulation has a uniform thickness and adheres tightly to the conductor. The temperature, pressure, and speed of the extrusion process are all monitored and adjusted to ensure the quality of the insulation.
Once the insulation is applied, the wires are cooled to solidify the PVC. They are then subjected to a series of quality control tests, including measurements of insulation thickness, conductor resistance, and voltage withstand capability. The wires are also checked for any defects such as cracks, bubbles, or uneven insulation.
Finally, the wires are spooled onto reels of appropriate sizes for storage and transportation. The spooling process is done carefully to avoid damaging the wires and to ensure that they can be easily unwound during installation.
1.4 Featured Applications
The 2.5mm² and 4mm² BVR building electric wires have a wide range of applications in building electrical systems, thanks to their specific characteristics.
The 2.5mm² wire is ideal for use in household lighting circuits.

Its flexibility makes it easy to route through the walls, ceilings, and floors of residential buildings, allowing for neat and hidden wiring.
In addition to lighting circuits, the 2.5mm² wire is also suitable for ordinary socket circuits. These sockets are used to power small household appliances such as televisions, computers, and refrigerators, which do not require a large amount of current. The 2.5mm² wire can safely carry the current required by these appliances, ensuring reliable operation.
The 4mm² wire, with its higher rated current-carrying capacity of 25-32A, is designed for higher-power applications. It is commonly used to supply power to air conditioners, electric water heaters, and other large household appliances that consume more electricity. These appliances require a larger current to operate, and the 4mm² wire can handle this load without overheating.
Another important application of the 4mm² wire is as the main line in branch circuits. In building electrical systems, branch circuits distribute power from the main distribution panel to various parts of the building. The main line in a branch circuit needs to be able to carry the total current required by all the devices and appliances connected to that circuit. The 4mm² wire is well-suited for this role, providing a reliable and efficient means of power distribution.
Both the 2.5mm² and 4mm² wires are widely used in residential buildings, commercial buildings，and office buildings.
