Power cable YKXS 0,6/1 kV 4x240 SM YKXS-4X240-1KV

YKXS 0.6/1 kV 4x240 SM power cable is a reliable solution for transmitting energy in medium-voltage installations. Designed for both industrial and distribution network applications, it ensures safe and efficient electrical power transmission. The cable’s construction, based on copper conductors with a cross-section of 240 mm², guarantees high conductivity and minimizes energy losses.

Construction and Application

The YKXS cable features a robust design ensuring long-term, fault-free operation. The stranded copper conductors (Class 2, multifilament) are insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE VPE), providing high resistance to mechanical damage and atmospheric conditions. The entire assembly is protected by a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath, safeguarding against moisture, UV radiation, and other external factors. The absence of a screen or armor makes this cable suitable for installations where strong electromagnetic interference or mechanical damage risks are not present.

This cable type is widely used in:

• Power installations: transmission of energy in industrial, commercial, and public utility buildings.
• Distribution networks: supplying power to end consumers.
• Underground installations: laying in soil, cable ducts, or protective conduits.
• Powering electrical equipment: connecting machines, switchboards, and other energy consumers.

Key Features and Benefits

• Large conductor cross-section (240 mm²): enables transmission of high currents without risk of overheating, especially critical for powering energy-intensive equipment.
• Copper conductors: provide excellent electrical conductivity and minimize energy losses compared to aluminum cables.
• XLPE VPE insulation: ensures high thermal resistance (up to 90°C) and mechanical durability, resulting in extended cable lifespan.
• PVC sheath: protects against moisture, UV radiation, and other environmental factors, ensuring safe operation under diverse climatic conditions.
• Stranded conductors: enhance cable flexibility, facilitating installation and routing even in confined spaces.
• Fire reaction class Eca: ensures limited combustibility, enhancing fire safety in installations—particularly important in public buildings.
• Low-temperature resistance: despite lacking specific certification, the cable maintains flexibility even at ambient temperatures as low as -5°C during installation.

Thanks to these features, the YKXS 0.6/1 kV 4x240 SM cable is an investment in safe and reliable power infrastructure. It is a high-quality product from the reputable manufacturer — Fabryka Kabli ELPAR sp. z o.o. — guaranteeing durability and compliance with applicable standards. When designing the cable route, the minimum bending radius of 646.8 mm must be observed to prevent insulation damage during installation.
