Power cable YKXS 0.6/1 kV 5×16 RE YKXS-5X16-1KV

Power Cable YKXS 5x16 – Reliability and Safety in Every Installation

The YKXS 5x16 cable is a robust solution for power transmission in electrical installations. Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, including direct burial in soil, it performs reliably in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. Constructed with copper conductors insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and protected by a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer sheath, it ensures long-term, safe operation. The cable also includes a green-yellow protective earth conductor, enhancing user safety.

Cable Structure and Applications

The YKXS 5x16 cable features a round cross-section and flexible construction, facilitating easy installation and adaptation to various environmental conditions. The 16 mm² copper conductors enable the transmission of high currents, while the XLPE insulation provides excellent thermal resistance—up to 90°C—and mechanical durability. The PVC sheath protects against atmospheric factors, moisture, and abrasion, making the cable ideal for demanding environmental conditions.

Applications of the YKXS cable include:

• Fixed installations: both indoors and outdoors.
• Direct burial in soil: possible due to resistance to moisture and mechanical damage.
• Installation in concrete enclosures: resistant to the effects of concrete.
• Powering high-load electrical equipment: requiring a stable energy source.
• Electrical distribution networks: as a component of power transmission infrastructure.

Key Features and Benefits

• Durable construction: Copper conductors, XLPE insulation, and PVC sheath ensure long-term operation even under harsh conditions.
• Safety: Presence of a green-yellow protective earth conductor minimizes the risk of electric shock.
• Temperature resistance: Maximum conductor operating temperature of 90°C allows use in demanding applications.
• Flexibility: Round cross-section and optimized construction simplify installation and adaptation to diverse configurations.
• Versatility: Suitable for indoor, outdoor, and direct underground use, expanding application range.
• UV resistance: Enables outdoor use without concern for material degradation due to sunlight exposure.
• Minimum bending radius: 250.8 mm ensures ease of installation, especially in confined spaces.
