Power cable YKY 0.6/1kV 4x1.0 RE EM1333

Universal power cable YKY – reliability and safety of installation

The YKY 4x1.0 power cable is a proven choice for electrical installations, both in residential and industrial construction. These cables are used in power supply systems where reliability and resistance to external factors are required. It replaces an older model, offering similar parameters and functionality.

Construction and characteristics

The YKY cable is characterized by PVC insulation and an external PVC coating, which provides good protection against moisture and mechanical damage. Four cores with a cross-section of 1 mm² allow for energy transmission in various configurations, and the presence of a protective core increases safety. The cable construction allows for flexible routing of wires, making installation easier even in hard-to-reach places. The approximate outer diameter of the cable is 9.9 mm, and its weight is about 142 kg/km.

Application and operating parameters

The YKY cable is designed to operate at temperatures from -30°C to +70°C, making it suitable for applications both indoors and outdoors (with appropriate protection against UV radiation). The rated voltage of the cable is 0.6/1 kV, allowing it to be used in medium-voltage networks. The cores made of copper ensure good electrical conductivity and minimize energy losses. The color of the core insulation is black, and the cores are identified by colors.

Installation and compliance with standards

The YKY cable is easy to process and install, which will be appreciated by both professional installers and people performing electrical work themselves. It meets the requirements of EN 60332-1-2 standard regarding fire propagation. Remember to select the correct core cross-section for the load of the installation and to observe safety rules when working with energized devices.
