Power cable YKY 0.6/1kV 5x1.5 RE EM1347

Energy cable YKY – a reliable cable for internal and external installations

The YKY 5x1.5 energy cable is a versatile cable designed for transmitting electrical energy both inside and outside buildings – in cable ducts, and directly in the ground. Its construction and parameters make it a solid choice for both professional installers and end users. This cable replaces the older YnKY model, offering improved properties and compliance with current standards.

Construction and application

The YKY cable is characterized by copper conductors with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², which ensures efficient current conduction. Five conductors allow powering various receivers. Insulation made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) guarantees safe use and resistance to weather conditions. The outer coating, also made of PVC, protects the cable from mechanical damage and external factors.

This type of cable finds wide application in:

• electrical installations in residential and commercial buildings,
• electricity distribution networks,
• industrial installations,
• underground laying (directly in the ground or in cable ducts).

Key features and benefits

• Versatility: Can be used both indoors and outdoors.
• Durability: Made of high-quality copper and PVC ensures long-term operation.
• Safety: PVC insulation provides effective protection against electric shock.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of IEC 60502-1:2004 and NZ001-17, confirming its quality and safety. It also has a CE marking.
• Flame retardant: Does not spread flames according to EN 60332-1-2 – increased safety in the event of a fire.
• Flexibility: Conductors made of a single wire (class 1) provide adequate flexibility during installation.
• Parameters: Conductor cross-section of 1.5 mm² and rated voltage of 0.6/1kV allow for safe and efficient power transmission.
• Reaction to fire (CPR): Class Eca - provides a basic level of fire protection.

Remember to choose the correct cable cross-section for the load and follow safety regulations during installation! Dispose of the cable in accordance with local waste regulations.
