Power cable YKY 0.6/1 kV 5x25 RMC YKY-5X25-1KV NYY

Power cable YKY 5x25 for underground and overhead installations

The power cable YKY 5x25 is a reliable solution for transmitting electrical energy in a wide range of applications—from direct burial in soil, through cable ducts, to external mounting outdoors. Designed for operation in networks with a voltage rating of 0.6/1 kV, it performs reliably in industrial plants, power stations, and local distribution networks. Constructed with copper conductors and insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it ensures safe and efficient power transmission.

Construction and specifications

The YKY cable features a robust design with five copper conductors, each with a cross-section of 25 mm², enabling the transmission of high currents. The conductors are stranded, enhancing cable flexibility and simplifying installation. The PVC insulation provides excellent protection against moisture and mechanical damage. The absence of armor makes the cable relatively lightweight and easy to route; however, this limits its use in areas exposed to severe mechanical stress. With a temperature rating of up to 70°C, it operates reliably across a broad range of environmental conditions.

Applications and benefits

This cable is a universal choice for installers and end users alike. It is ideal for:

• Supplying residential and industrial buildings: Perfect for connecting electrical service entries.
• Direct burial in soil: The PVC sheath offers resistance to atmospheric conditions and soil corrosion.
• Installation in cable ducts: Easy routing and flexibility facilitate installation in confined spaces.
• Powering equipment requiring larger conductor cross-sections: The 25 mm² cross-section enables safe power delivery to high-load devices.
• Building distribution networks: Resistance to weather conditions allows long-term outdoor operation outside buildings.

Key features to note:

• Copper conductors: Guarantee excellent electrical conductivity and low energy losses.
• PVC insulation: Provides effective protection against moisture, mechanical damage, and chemical exposure.
• Stranded conductors: Increase cable flexibility, easing installation and routing in tight spaces.
• Rated voltage 1 kV: Enables use in medium-voltage networks.
• Minimum bending radius of 340.8 mm: Must be considered during installation design to prevent cable damage during bending.
• Fire reaction class Eca: Ensures limited flammability, enhancing operational safety.

The YKY 5x25 cable is a dependable choice for anyone seeking a robust solution for electrical power transmission under diverse environmental conditions. Its versatility makes it a popular selection among both professional installers and DIY users.
