Power cable YKXS 0.6/1 kV – reliability and safety of installation

The YKXS 0.6/1 kV cable is a proven choice for transmitting electrical energy in demanding conditions. Designed for both industrial applications and local power supply networks, it provides effective and safe energy distribution. This cable is ideal for installation indoors, in cable ducts, and directly in the ground.

A key feature of the YKXS cable is its versatility. It will work well in industrial plants, power plants, as well as in commercial or residential buildings. The use of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) as insulation for the cores translates into better electrical properties, lower weight and dimensions of the cable compared to traditional solutions with polyvinyl insulation. This facilitates installation and reduces transport costs.

Construction and application

The YKXS cable is characterized by a solid construction ensuring long-term and trouble-free operation. It consists of:

• Cores: made of soft copper wires (available in classes RE, RM or SM), which guarantees flexibility and ease of routing.
• Insulation: cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) provides high resistance to mechanical and temperature damage and excellent dielectric properties. The colors of the core insulation comply with PN-HD 308, and the protective conductor is marked with a green-yellow color.
• Center: twisted cores form a compact center, which increases the mechanical strength of the cable.
• Sheath: made of polyvinyl oponic (PVC) in black color protects the cable from external factors. Cables with special sheaths (e.g. oil-resistant or halogen-free) are also available.

Thanks to this construction, the YKXS cable performs perfectly in various applications:

• Power supply for machines and industrial equipment.
• Electrical installations in buildings.
• Electrical energy distribution networks.
• Fixed connections indoors and outdoors.

Advantages of the YKXS cable – benefits for the installer and user

By choosing the YKXS cable, you gain a number of benefits:

• Durability and reliability: high-quality materials and solid construction guarantee a long service life of the cable.
• Safety: XLPE insulation provides effective protection against electric shock, and optional halogen-free versions minimize the risk of toxic gas formation in the event of a fire.
• Easy installation: flexible copper cores make it easy to route the cable even in difficult conditions.
• Versatility: the possibility of use in various environments and applications makes the YKXS cable a versatile solution for every installer.
• Compliance with standards: the cable meets the requirements of PN-EN 60228 and other applicable safety standards.

In addition, special versions of YKXS cables are available tailored to specific needs:

• YKXSżo-O: oil-resistant cables for use in places exposed to contact with petroleum-based materials.
• XnKXSżo: halogen-free cables with increased fire resistance – ideal for applications requiring a high level of fire safety.
