Mining cable YKGYFoyn 0.6/1kV 3x120/35 GP0603

Mining cable YKGYFoyn – reliability in harsh conditions

The YKGYFoyn 0.6/1kV power cable is a robust solution designed for operation in the demanding conditions of mining. Its construction with steel wire armour provides high mechanical resistance and protection against damage, which is crucial in a mining environment. This cable is ideal for powering electrical equipment in open-pit, borehole and underground mines (hazard class “A” of coal dust explosion).

Construction and properties

The YKGYFoyn cable is characterized by copper conductors with PVC insulation, additionally protected by an inner PVC coating. The armour made of round steel wires provides effective protection against mechanical damage. The whole is surrounded by a flame-retardant PVC protective sheath, which increases safety. The version with a protective conductor (žo) provides additional installation safety.

The cable construction includes copper conductors, PVC insulation, round steel wire armour and a flame-retardant PVC sheath. This cable is characterized by a rated voltage of 0.6/1kV and an operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C. The minimum bending radius is 10xØ, which facilitates installation even in tight spaces.

Application and benefits

The YKGYFoyn cable is primarily used in mining, where it is exposed to high mechanical loads and difficult environmental conditions. Thanks to its construction and properties, it provides reliable power supply to equipment in open-pit, borehole and underground mines (hazard class “A” of coal dust explosion). The possibility of installation in workings with an inclination angle of up to 90° (depending on the version) expands its range of applications.

• Powering mining machines and equipment.

• Construction of overhead and underground lines in mines.

• Installations in places exposed to mechanical damage.

• Use in environments with increased fire risk thanks to the flame-retardant sheath.

• Durable construction guarantees long cable life even in extreme working conditions.

For a cable with a cross-section of 3 x 120 mm², the approximate weight is about 6390 kg/km. Information on other available cross-sections can be found in the manufacturer's catalogue or from Onninen distributor.
