Power Cable Format

11/17/2011 6:11 AM

What is the difference in below power cable format,

VV3x185+2G95

VV3x185+95+T95

I knew that T represented Earth (from the French word Terre) but what is G stand for, thanks all engineers

Here's a stab at it. The upper cable has two user-designatable 95mm2 conductors as well as the three phase conductors at 185mm2, while the lower one still has two, though one of them is paticularly designated/labelled/coloured the earth conductor.

Now, without having seen the cable, how close is that? Good guess or what?

thanks.

sometimes I saw 4x()+T() as well.

My question is this only the engineer preference or there are something implied behind or they are just the format writing in different country, thanks.

The first cable represents 3 phase conductors of 185 sq mm and half capacity neutral and earth @ 95 sq mm each whareas the second cable represents the same but specifically the earth cable seperately.I guss in the first cable 2G95 will be of different colours probably black representing neutral and green or green yellow representing earth.
