VPV

Installation wire for submersible motors with PVC sheath

VPV is a version of VPP with an outer sheath of PVC instead of polyethylene. It is used in the same conditions (submersible pumps), but where higher resistance to oils and petroleum products than PE can offer is required. Designation breakdown: V – submersible, P – PE insulation, V – PVC sheath.

Application Submersible pumps, oil

Conductor Copper

Sheath PVC (oil- and petroleum-resistant)

Cross-section 1.5 – 70 mm²

Data are given for standard cross-sections per GOST 31947-2012 (for APuV/PuV/PuGV) and TCG TS (for VPP/VPV). Exact parameters of a batch are given in the datasheet. Intermediate cross-sections and special insulation colours can be manufactured to order.

VPV wire description

VPV is a specialised wire for submersible equipment operating in media containing petroleum products, oils and chemical agents. It differs from VPP only in the material of the outer sheath: instead of polyethylene, a PVC compound with enhanced oil resistance is used.

The main applications are submersible oil pumps, oil production equipment and installations in contaminated industrial effluent. VPV is chosen when ordinary VPP is unsuitable because of the risk of the PE sheath swelling or breaking down on prolonged contact with oil. The PE electrical insulation is retained – it provides the waterproofing.

Applications

Submersible oil pumps in contact with crude oil and oils

Borehole pumps where petroleum products are present

Submersible equipment in industrial effluent

Systems with increased chemical exposure

An alternative to VPP for harsh media
