Product Overview
AVVG Cable is a 0.66/1 kV unarmored power cable with aluminum conductor, PVC insulation, and PVC sheath. Naming per GOST (Russian/CIS standard): A = aluminum conductor, V = PVC insulation, V = PVC sheath, G = without protective coating (naked, unarmored). AVVG is the most widely specified aluminum power cable in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and CIS markets — where aluminum conductors dominate due to the region's vast aluminum production capacity and the material's significant cost advantage over copper. The "ng" variant adds fire-retardant properties, and "ngd" offers fire-retardant + low smoke/gas emission for enhanced fire safety.
Copper vs Aluminum Conductor Comparison
| Property | Copper (VVG) | Aluminum (AVVG) |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per kg | Higher | ~40-60% lower |
| Weight (same ampacity) | Reference | ~50% lighter |
| Conductivity | 100% IACS | ~61% IACS — requires one size larger |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent, self-passivating | Good — oxide layer self-protects but requires anti-oxidation compound at terminals |
| Termination | Standard copper lugs | Requires Al-Cu bi-metallic lugs |
| Market Dominance | Global standard | Russia, CIS, India — regions with strong domestic aluminium production |
GOST Designation System
| Designation | Meaning |

Packaging & Delivery
Export Wooden Drum
Fumigated wooden drums. Lighter aluminum cables require less robust drums than copper equivalents.
CIS-Standard Coils
Smaller cross-sections available in coils per GOST shipping standards for CIS domestic delivery.
Custom Packaging
GOST-compliant marking, sequential meter marking, customer-specified drum types. MOQ applies.
Sheath Variants
Standard AVVG (PVC), AVVGng (flame-retardant PVC), AVVGngd (FR-PVC + low smoke/gas). Specify variant code when ordering for CIS-standard projects.
Typical Applications
Industrial Power Distribution
Stationary electrical installations in factories, workshops, and industrial facilities across CIS markets.
Residential & Commercial
Indoor wiring in apartment blocks, offices, and commercial buildings. Lighter weight simplifies vertical riser installation.
Lighting & Distribution
Power supply to lighting networks and distribution boards in public and private buildings.
Cold Climate Installations
-50°C minimum operating temperature makes AVVG suitable for Siberian and Arctic applications where standard cables fail.
CIS Markets
Default aluminum power cable in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan. GOST certification required for government and utility tenders.
Cable Trays & Ducts
Indoor cable tray and duct installations. Not recommended for direct burial without mechanical protection.
