Product overview

S1BZ5-F is a flexible multi-core cable for DC electric vehicle charging. It carries a 1.5kV DC designation and a 600/1000V rated voltage, with Class 5 bare copper conductors to EN/IEC 60228, HEPR type EVI-2 insulation and a black special TPU type EVM-1 outer sheath. The DC power conductors, the protective conductor and the CC/CP control cores run together in one cable.

It is the cable between a DC charger and the vehicle connector, so it is handled, dragged over the ground and flexed at every charge. Nine constructions cover chargers from a 3G16 build with three control pairs up to 2×95 + 1G50 for high-current charging, plus a five-core 5G50 build with six 1.5 mm² control cores.

Application & Features

A DC charger converts the grid supply to direct current inside the cabinet and delivers it to the vehicle through a tethered cable and connector. That cable carries high current, is stepped on, dragged over wet or frozen ground and hung back on the holder many times a day, and it also carries the control circuit: the CC/CP cores link charger and vehicle so the charge can start, be supervised and stop safely.

The flexible Class 5 conductors and HEPR insulation keep the cable workable in ambient temperatures from -40°C to +60°C, and the black TPU sheath is chosen for abrasion and outdoor handling. Choose the construction from the charger's DC current and the connector it is terminated into: the 3G16 build suits lower-power DC units, the 2×35 to 2×70 builds the main fast-charging range, and 2×95 + 1G50 the highest-current assemblies. Current rating depends on the charging profile and ambient temperature, so the final size is agreed with our engineers.

Selection note: before ordering, ask our engineers to confirm the voltage and conductor temperature ratings (90°C or 120°C) and the bending radius factor to VDE 0298-3 for your construction; both are stated on the approved drawing issued with your quotation. Current rating depends on the charging profile, cable length and ambient temperature, so the cross-section is agreed per project.

Construction

S1BZ5-F is a round multi-core cable. The DC power conductors, the green/yellow protective conductor (G) and the CC/CP control elements are laid up together under one black TPU sheath, so a single flexible cable serves both the power side and the signal side of the charging connector.

  • Conductor: Bare copper, Class 5 according to EN/IEC 60228, for the power, protective and control cores.
  • Insulation: HEPR type EVI-2 on power and control cores; 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm on the power cores, depending on size.
  • Control cores: CC/CP elements of 0.75 mm² as twisted pairs, a four-core element or single cores; six 1.5 mm² cores on the 5G50 build.
  • Outer sheath: Special TPU type EVM-1, black, 1.5 mm to 2.7 mm thick depending on the construction.

FAQ

What does the 1.5kV DC designation mean when the rated voltage is 600/1000V?

DC stresses insulation differently from AC, so a charging cable is given a DC value next to its AC rated voltage. S1BZ5-F carries a 600/1000V rated voltage and a 1.5kV DC designation. Check the maximum DC output voltage of your charger against the 1.5kV DC value; both values are confirmed on the approved drawing.

Which construction should I choose?

Start from the charger's maximum DC current and the connector the cable is terminated into. The 3G16 build with three control pairs suits lower-power DC units; the 2×35, 2×50 and 2×70 builds with a 1G16, 1G25 or 1G35 protective conductor cover most fast chargers; 2×95 + 1G50 is for the highest currents. Send the charger data and our engineers confirm the size and control-core layout.

What are the CC/CP control cores for?

They carry the control signals between charger and vehicle. The charger uses them to confirm that the connector is plugged in and to supervise the charge, so power flows only when the circuit is complete. The table lists them as twisted pairs, a four-core element or single cores of 0.75 mm², and six 1.5 mm² cores on the 5G50 build.

How does S1BZ5-F compare with FG16(O)R16?

FG16(O)R16 is a single-core cable for the fixed DC link between power cabinet and dispenser, laid in ducts, trays and conduit. S1BZ5-F is the flexible multi-core cable after the dispenser, with power and control cores in one TPU sheath for the lead the driver handles. High-power sites often use both; see the EV charging cable category for the AC charging cables.

What should I send for a quotation?

Send the construction from the table, the quantity and cut lengths, the charger's DC voltage and current, the connector type, the ambient temperature range on site and any type-test report or certificate your project requires.
