Power cable YKY 0,6/1 kV 5x10 RE YKY-5X10-1KV NYY

Power Cable YKY 5x10 mm² – Reliable Wiring for Your Installation

The YKY 5x10 is a robust, copper power cable designed for transmitting electrical energy in distribution networks, industrial installations, and residential construction. Manufactured from high-quality materials, it ensures safe and efficient operation over a long service life. This cable has a rated voltage of 0.6/1 kV and is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Construction and Applications

The YKY cable features five copper conductors, each with a cross-section of 10 mm², insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and protected by an outer PVC sheath. The inclusion of a green-yellow protective conductor enhances safety during use. Thanks to this design, the cable performs excellently in damp environments or where direct contact with soil is expected. It can be installed in cable ducts, directly buried in the ground, or surface-mounted. This universal solution is perfect for installers and end-users seeking a dependable energy conductor.

Key Features and Benefits

• Durable Construction: Copper conductors combined with PVC insulation and sheathing provide resistance to mechanical damage, weather conditions, and chemical exposure.
• Safety: The protective conductor minimizes the risk of electric shock.
• Versatility: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, direct burial, and installation in cable ducts — making YKY ideal for diverse applications.
• Thermal Resistance: Maintains performance across a wide temperature range: -30°C to +70°C during continuous operation, and up to +160°C during short-circuit conditions.
• Compliance with Standards: Meets requirements of IEC 60502-1:2004 and NZ001-17 standards, guaranteeing high quality and safety.
• Easy Identification: Color-coded conductors simplify correct wiring during installation.
• Flexibility: Despite its robust construction, the cable retains sufficient flexibility for easy handling and installation.
• Longevity: High-quality materials and precise manufacturing ensure extended service life.

Technical Parameters in Practice

The cable’s outer diameter is approximately 18.1 mm, with a mass of about 736 kg/km. The minimum bending radius is 10 times the cable’s diameter — a critical factor to consider during installation to prevent damage. Conductor resistance at 20°C is a maximum of 1.83 Ω/km, ensuring efficient power transmission with minimal voltage drop. The PVC insulation has a thickness of 1.0 mm, and the outer sheath is 1.8 mm thick, providing effective protection against external environmental factors.
