Power cable YKY 0,6/1 kV 5x16 RE YKY-5X16-1KV NYY

Power cable YKY 5x16 for fixed installations

YKY 5x16 is a copper electrical power cable designed for energy transmission in fixed installations. It performs reliably both indoors and outdoors, in cable ducts, and directly buried in the ground. Thanks to its PVC insulation and sheath, this cable is resistant to mechanical damage and atmospheric conditions. It is a versatile solution ideal for professional installers and end-users seeking a reliable conductor for powering various devices.

Construction and application

The YKY cable consists of five copper conductors, each with a cross-section of 16 mm², individually insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These conductors are twisted to enhance cable flexibility and simplify installation. Additionally, the cable includes a protective earth conductor with green-yellow (PE) insulation, ensuring safe operation. This cable is suitable for use in electrical distribution networks, industrial installations, residential, and commercial buildings. It can be used to power machinery, electrical equipment, and lighting systems.

Key features and benefits

• Versatility: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, in cable ducts, and direct burial in soil.
• Durability: Copper conductors combined with PVC insulation and sheath ensure long-term, reliable performance.
• Safety: The presence of a green-yellow protective earth conductor (PE) guarantees effective protection against electric shock.
• Flexibility: Twisted conductors facilitate installation and routing in confined spaces.
• Weather resistance: The PVC sheath protects the cable against moisture, UV radiation, and other environmental factors.
• Compliance with standards: Meets requirements of IEC 60332-1-2 standard for fire resistance (class Eca).
• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm² provides adequate current-carrying capacity for most residential and industrial applications.

The YKY 5x16 cable is a robust choice for anyone requiring a reliable conductor for electrical energy transmission. Its versatility and durability make it a long-term investment. Remember to properly select the cable cross-section according to load requirements and always follow safety regulations during installation!
