PVC electric wire belongs to a kind of popular industrial cable. When people buy it, price is an important part factor that usually needs to be considered. Among most of our customers, they also asked us the cost of it when inquiry. In today’s article, we will explain this question.
Regarding the cost of the PVC insulated cable, different PVC copper cable suppliers have different cost standards. But as a common rule, there are mainly four parts that can decide the cost of the PVC sheathed cable.

• PVC electric wire conductor numbers
• PVC electric wire conductor section area
• PVC electric wire quality
• PVC electric wire factory

Now, we will explain them respectively.

PVC electric wire conductor number

PVC electric copper cable conductor number is the first factor that will influence the price of PVC insulated power cable. The conductor number means how many cores are in a cable, the more the core number is, the higher the cost is. Usually, multicore PVC insulated PVC sheathed cable cost is higher than single core pvc insulated cable. Such as 3-core RVV cable is more expensive than a 2-core RVV cable.

PVC electric wire conductor section area

The conductor section area means the size of the PVC cable core. The bigger the size is, the higher the cost is. Since the conductor section area make up of different copper strands twisted together, a bigger size means more copper strands and more copper strands will cause a higher price. A 4.0mm2 BV single-core cable will cost higher than a 2.5mm2 BV single-core cable.

PVC electric wire quality

In the market, there is an old saying: You will get what you pay. This means different quality will also cause different costs. PVC copper cable quality includes conductor quality and PVC material quality. In the market, there are usually three different kinds of conductor materials, tinned copper, ofc copper, and copper cover aluminum. Among these three kinds of conductor materials, the quality of tinned copper is better than ofc copper, ofc copper is better than copper cover aluminum. In the same words, tinned copper conductor cost will be higher than ofc copper conductor, ofc copper conductor cost will be higher than copper cover aluminum, on the base of the same size and same specification. For copper strands, thinner copper strands cost also a little higher than the thicker ones.
For PVC materials, according to different working temperatures, PVC can be divided into -20℃-70℃, less than -20℃, 90℃, and 120 ℃. The stronger the temperature resistance, the higher the cost is. National standard PVC will cost higher than non-national standard PVC.

PVC electric wire factory

The last factor that will influence the price of PVC electric cable is the supplier. Not all copper cable suppliers are factories. Factory direct sales will be cheaper than the middle traders or leaders, on the base of the same quality level.
