Power Cable YKXS 0.6/1 kV – Reliability and Safety in Every Installation

The YKXS 0.6/1 kV cable is a versatile solution for transmitting electrical energy, widely used in industrial installations, power plants, and local power distribution networks. Designed for operation indoors, outdoors, in cable ducts, and directly buried in the ground, it ensures reliable performance under diverse environmental conditions. The use of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) as conductor insulation delivers superior electrical properties, reduced dimensions, and lower weight compared to traditional PVC-insulated cables.

Construction and Application

The YKXS cable consists of flexible copper conductors (available in RE class – single-strand round wires), insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). The cores are twisted into a central core and protected by a black polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer sheath. This construction ensures high mechanical and chemical resistance. The cable is suitable for both fixed and temporary installations, performing exceptionally well in locations exposed to mechanical stress and varying climatic conditions.

Advantages and Benefits

• Durability and Longevity: Copper conductors combined with robust XLPE insulation ensure long-term, fault-free operation.
• Versatility: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, expanding the range of applications.
• Ease of Installation: Flexible design facilitates cable laying even in challenging conditions.
• Safety: Cross-linked polyethylene provides high resistance to electrical breakdown and overheating.
• Chemical Resistance: PVC sheath protects the cable against exposure to various chemicals.
• Special Versions Available: Oil-resistant (YKXSżo) and halogen-free (XnKXSżo) variants are available to meet specific installation requirements.
• Cost Optimization: Improved electrical parameters and reduced dimensions result in material savings.

The YKXS 5x16 RE cable is particularly recommended for applications requiring reliable transmission of electrical energy with a conductor cross-section of 16 mm², making it an ideal choice for high-power installations. Five cores provide flexibility in configuring electrical circuits.
