Power cable YKY 0.6/1kV 3x6.0 RE EM1327

Energy cable YKY – a reliable choice for electrical installations

The YKY 3x6.0 energy cable is a widely used cable designed for electrical installations inside buildings, in pipes, on cable routes, and in concrete. It is characterized by good flexibility and resistance to mechanical factors, which facilitates its installation and ensures long-term operation. It is a solid solution for both professional installers and end customers looking for a reliable cable to power various devices.

Construction and application

The YKY cable consists of copper cores with a cross-section of 6 mm², insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Three cores are twisted together, which provides a compact structure and facilitates cable routing. The lack of armor makes the cable more flexible, and the lack of a screen limits its use to places with a low level of electromagnetic interference. The rated voltage of 0.6/1 kV allows it to be used in installations with medium voltage. The protective conductor provides additional safety.

• Application: Electrical installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
• Installation: Inside premises, in protective pipes, on cable routes, in concrete.
• Use: Powering sockets, lighting, electrical appliances.

Key features and benefits

• Copper cores: Ensure good electrical conductivity and minimize energy losses.
• PVC insulation: Protects against electric shock and ensures the durability of the cable.
• Flexibility: Facilitates cable routing in tight spaces and during installation.
• Flame retardant: Compliance with EN 60332-1-2 standard increases safety in case of fire – limits the spread of fire.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -30°C to +70°C allows the cable to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Rated core cross-section 6 mm²: Optimal choice for installations requiring higher current loads.
• Three cores: Allow connection of phase, neutral and protective PE conductor.

Please remember that the YKY cable is being replaced by the YnKY cable – it is worth considering this when planning new installations or replacing existing cables.
