Power cable YKY 0.6/1 kV 3x1.5 RE black 0355 003 05

Universal power cables YKY for various applications

The YKY 0.6/1 kV power cable is a proven choice for transmitting electrical energy in industrial plants, power plants, and power supply networks. Its versatility allows it to be used both indoors and outdoors, in cable ducts, and directly in the ground. It is a solid solution for installers and users looking for a reliable conductor.

Construction and characteristics

YKY cables are distinguished by a careful construction that ensures long-lasting and safe operation. The cable consists of:

• Conductors: made of soft copper wires (in this case, solid round class 1 – RE), which ensures flexibility and ease of installation.
• Insulation: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation in colors according to PN-HD 308 standard. In YKYżo cables, a green-yellow protective conductor is present.
• Core: twisted conductors form a compact core, increasing the cable's mechanical strength.
• Sheath: made of PVC sheathing in black – a standard solution, although other colors are also available on request.

This construction translates into resistance to mechanical damage and atmospheric factors, as well as safe use.

Applications and specifications

This specific cable – YKY 0.6/1 kV 3x1.5 RE black – has three conductors with a cross-section of 1.5 mm². It is a popular choice for electrical installations requiring medium current capacity. It will be suitable for powering lighting, sockets, electrical appliances, and control circuits. Thanks to its construction, this cable is suitable for both permanent and occasional installations. Additionally, it is worth mentioning the availability of special versions:

• YKYżo-O: designed for environments exposed to contact with petroleum-based materials (e.g., gas stations).
• XnKXSżo / XnKXS: halogen-free cables increasing fire safety due to limited emission of smoke and corrosive gases.
• Armored cables: provide additional protection against mechanical damage in harsh operating conditions.
