Round cable type RD 10-V4A 5021647

Stainless steel grounding conductor – reliability and durability

The RD 10-V4A round conductor is a solid element of grounding installations, made of high-quality V4A stainless steel (1.4571/1.4404). Its construction and material provide long-lasting protection against corrosion, which is crucial in demanding environmental conditions, especially for underground installations. This conductor is used both in new installations and in the modernization of existing lightning and grounding systems.

This conductor is particularly valued for its mechanical strength and resistance to atmospheric factors. The use of V4A stainless steel guarantees reliable operation for many years, minimizing the risk of failure and the need for frequent replacements. Therefore, investing in RD 10-V4A translates into savings and safety.

Construction and application

The RD 10-V4A conductor is characterized by a cross-section of 78 mm² and a core diameter of 10 mm. It is a single-wire conductor (class 1), which provides it with flexibility and ease of installation. It can be used as a grounding conductor in accordance with DIN EN 62561-2 (VDE 0185-561-2) and meets the requirements of VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305). According to DIN 18014, in the case of foundation grounds in the ground, conductors made of V4A stainless steel must be used – this model perfectly meets these criteria.

• V4A stainless steel: provides exceptional corrosion resistance, even in an aggressive soil environment.
• Cross-section 78 mm²: enables safe discharge of short-circuit and lightning currents.
• Application in the ground: dedicated to underground installations, where it is exposed to moisture and the action of chemicals.
• Compliance with standards: meets the stringent requirements of European safety standards.
• Bare surface: allows for easy connection with other grounding installation elements.

The weight of the conductor is 63 kg per 100 meters, and the outer diameter with the jacket is 10 mm. The lack of an outer jacket makes the conductor easy to process and adapt to specific installation needs.
