Powerflex RV-K Cable
Powerflex RV-K: Flexible Power Cable for Pump Stations & Irrigation Infrastructure.
Available from your local Irrigear® Independent Experts.
Powerflex RV-K is a high-performance, flexible industrial power cable often used for mobile, demanding environments, solar setups, and submersible applications. It features Class 5 flexible annealed copper conductors and tough XLPE (Cross-linked polyethylene) insulation, handling continuous operating temperatures up to 90° C.
The Powerflex RV-K is Top Cable's industrial flexible power cable, manufactured to IEC 60502-1 and approved under AENOR, Bureau Veritas, KEMA-KEUR and RETIE certifications. Rated at 0.6/1kV with XLPE insulation and a flexible PVC sheath, the RV-K is designed for the demanding realities of irrigation and agricultural electrical infrastructure — where cables must go through conduit, across cable trays, through wet ground and into motor control panels with equal reliability.
Its high flexibility significantly simplifies installation in tight or complex layouts, and it can be buried directly without additional protection. Water resistance to AD8 submersion makes it suitable for below-ground and wet environment use, while UV resistance extends its working life in open-air applications exposed to Australian conditions.
