Power cable YKY 5x4 RE 1kV G-103099

Power cable YKY 5x4 RE 1kV – reliable power supply in various installations

The YKY 5x4RE 1kV cable is a versatile solution for transmitting electrical energy, designed for both underground and indoor installations. Made of solid copper conductors with a cross-section of 4 mm², with PVC insulation and sheath, it ensures safe and efficient operation in a wide range of applications. This cable is particularly recommended where mechanical strength and resistance to weather conditions are required.

Construction and application

The YKY 5x4RE cable consists of five conductors, including one protective conductor, which guarantees safe use. Copper conductors of class 1 provide good electrical conductivity and flexibility during installation. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) used as the insulation and outer sheath material is characterized by high resistance to abrasion, moisture and chemical agents. This makes the cable perform perfectly in difficult operating conditions.

This cable finds application in:

• Power lines: both overhead and underground.
• Building installations: inside residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
• Cable ducts: as an element of energy distribution systems.
• Direct laying in the ground: where protection against mechanical damage and environmental impact is required.
• Powering electrical devices: with power adapted to the cable conductor cross-section.

Key features and benefits

• Durable construction: Class 1 solid copper conductors and PVC sheath ensure long-lasting reliability and resistance to mechanical damage.
• Safe use: The presence of a protective conductor minimizes the risk of electric shock.
• Wide temperature range: Permissible ambient temperature during installation is from -5°C to 50°C, and after installation (without vibration) from -30°C to 50°C, which allows the cable to be used in various climatic conditions.
• UV resistance: Ensures the durability of the cable even when exposed to direct sunlight.
• Compliance with standards: The cable meets the requirements of IEC and EN standards, which guarantees its safety and quality.
• Installation flexibility: Minimum bending radius of 165.6 mm makes it easy to lay the cable even in tight spaces.
• Protective conductor: the presence of a protective conductor increases the safety of the electrical installation.

Additional information: the cable has a fire reaction class Eca according to EN 13501-6, which means limited flammability and smoke emission in the event of a fire. Its approximate outer diameter is 14.4 mm and the conductor resistance at 20°C is 4.61 Ohm/km.
