Installation cable YDY 750V 5x4 (bare copper) YDY-5X4

Installation Cable YDY 5x4 – A Reliable Choice for Your Electrical System

The YDY 5x4 cable is a versatile and reliable conductor designed for internal electrical installations in buildings. Made with copper conductors insulated and sheathed in polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it ensures safe and efficient power transmission. This cable is ideal for both professional electricians and DIY users in residential installations.

Construction and Applications

The YDY cable features a round cross-section with five copper conductors, each with a cross-section of 4 mm². Class 1 (solid) copper conductors guarantee excellent conductivity, while the PVC insulation provides protection against mechanical damage and environmental influences. This cable is intended for permanent installation in dry and humid indoor environments, both under plaster and on plaster surfaces. It can also be used outdoors, provided it is protected from direct sunlight. Due to its robust design, it is widely used in residential, industrial, and public utility installations.

Key Features and Benefits

• Versatility: Suitable for use indoors in both dry and humid environments.
• Safety: PVC insulation provides effective protection against electric shock and mechanical damage.
• Durability: Copper conductors ensure high conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
• Ease of Installation: Flexible construction simplifies cable routing, even in challenging conditions.
• Thermal Resistance: Maintains performance across a wide temperature range – from -40°C to +70°C.
• Excellent Quality-to-Price Ratio: ELPAR brand products guarantee reliability and durability at an affordable price.
• Twisted Conductors: Enhance cable flexibility during installation.
• Color Identification of Conductors: Facilitate correct wiring during installation.

Technical Parameters in Practice

The YDY 5x4 cable is engineered for demanding electrical applications. Its rated voltage of 750V (450V/750V) allows safe use across a broad range of installations. The approximate outer diameter of 13.2 mm simplifies the selection of compatible mounting accessories. The minimum bending radius of 79.2 mm ensures comfortable handling during installation while minimizing the risk of damage. The cable weighs approximately 385 kg/km, a factor to consider when planning transport and installation of large quantities. Its fire reaction class Eca provides a basic level of fire safety compliant with European standards.
