Charging Cables for Vehicle Batteries

China [CN]

Automotive cables are primarily categorized by applicable standards into Japanese, European, American, and Chinese standards. UL62-certified charging cables represent one of the three largest cable markets globally. UL62-certified cables are made of a wide range of materials, including PVC, TPE, and CPE. Key criteria include environmental resistance, electrical properties, and combustion tests, such as long-term insulation resistance at 90°C, relative capacitance, stability factor, and VW-1 testing. Furthermore, actual cable performance is evaluated and assessed, including swing tests, liquid resistance tests, high and low temperature cycling, damp heat tests, and tear resistance tests.

Characteristics: Specific cable conductor performance includes electrical and mechanical properties, including minimum insulation resistance (GΩ·m) at 15°C, DC resistance at 20°C, dielectric strength (withstand voltage) of the core insulation, spark voltage, tensile strength (N/mm²), elongation at break (%), thermal deformation, low-temperature bending (-40±2°C for 4 hours), thermal shock testing, and low-temperature effects. Omega cables are soft and comfortable to the touch, with a bend length of less than 5D. They are resistant to oil, acid, alkali, water, abrasion, rolling, cracking, UV rays, and color stability. They also offer excellent flame retardancy and a bend resistance of over 50,000. All materials comply with the latest environmental standards of RoHS and REACH. OMG American-standard cables primarily include EVE (EVE-600V or 1000V, temperature resistance -40-105°C, TPE insulation, TPE sheath (≥2 cores, 18AWG to 500kcmil)) and EVJ (EVT-600V or 1000V, temperature resistance -40-105°C, PVC insulation, PVC sheath (≥2 cores, 18AWG to 500kcmil)). These cables primarily comply with ISO6722:2006 and UL62 standards and are suitable for automotive charging stations, mobile portable charging wire and cable equipment (spring wire series), and internal wiring (battery cables)/motor cables for electric vehicles.
