Power cable YKXS 0.6/1 kV 5x6 RE YKXS-5X6-1KV

Power Cable YKXSżo – Reliability and Safety in Every Circuit

The power cable YKXS 5x6 żo 0.6/1 kV is a robust conductor designed for supplying various low-voltage loads. The cable’s construction, based on copper conductors insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), ensures high resistance to mechanical and thermal damage, as well as long-term reliability. This makes the cable ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations—in soil, cable ducts, or on structural supports.

The YKXS 5x6 is particularly recommended for applications in industry, power plants, office buildings, and local networks. Its versatility and durability make it an excellent choice for professional installers and end-users seeking a safe, long-lasting solution. By choosing this cable, you invest in stable energy delivery and peace of mind regarding electrical installation safety.

Cable Construction and Properties

The YKXS 5x6 cable has been engineered to maximize durability and operational safety. Copper conductors, available in various classes (single-wire, multi-wire circular or sector-shaped), are insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), which offers high resistance to temperature and voltage. The entire assembly is protected by a durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath, providing protection against external environmental factors. Five conductors with a cross-section of 6 mm² enable efficient power transmission at a rated voltage of 1 kV.

• Copper Conductors: Ensure excellent electrical conductivity and high corrosion resistance.
• XLPE Insulation: Guarantees high thermal resistance up to 90°C and long-term reliability.
• PVC Sheath: Protects against mechanical damage, moisture, and UV radiation.
• Protective Conductor (żo): Enhances safety by providing protection against electric shock.
• Flexibility: Enables easy installation and adaptation to various mounting conditions—minimum bending radius for fixed installations is 187.2 mm.

Applications and Compliance with Standards

The YKXS 5x6 żo cable is widely used across multiple sectors:

• Building Electrical Installations: Supplying low-voltage loads in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
• Industry: Powering machinery and production equipment requiring stable energy delivery.
• Power Plants: Used in electrical energy distribution systems.
• Local Networks: Supplying lighting points and other electrical devices in distribution networks.
• Direct Burial: The ability to directly bury the cable in soil enhances its versatility.

The cable complies with EN 60332-1-2 requirements for flame non-propagation during fire and meets fire reaction class Eca according to EN 13501-6, ensuring an additional level of operational safety.
