Power Cable YKY 5x1.5 – A Reliable Choice for Electrical Installations

The YKY power cable 0.6/1 kV 5x1.5 is a versatile solution for transmitting electrical energy across a wide range of applications. It performs reliably in industrial installations, power plants, and local power distribution networks. Its construction and materials ensure durability and safe operation.

This cable is designed for permanent installation—both indoors and outdoors, in cable ducts, or directly buried in the ground. This makes it a highly adaptable product suitable for numerous projects. Manufactured from high-quality materials, it ensures reliable performance over an extended service life.

Construction and Applications

The YKY cable consists of five copper conductors, each with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These conductors are twisted into a core and surrounded by an outer PVC sheath in black color. This design provides flexibility and resistance to mechanical damage. Additionally, the cable features a protective earth conductor in green-yellow (in the "żo" version), enhancing user safety.

Special variants of YKY cables include:

• YKYżo-O: Designed for use in areas exposed to petroleum-based substances (e.g., fuel stations). Features an oil-resistant sheath.
• XnKXSżo: Halogen-free cables that minimize the emission of toxic gases during fire, increasing safety for people and property.
• Armored cables: Further protected against mechanical damage by round steel wires or a steel tape armor.

Advantages and Benefits

• Versatility: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, in cable ducts, and direct burial in soil.
• Durability: Constructed from high-quality copper and PVC, ensuring a long service life.
• Safety: The presence of a protective earth conductor (in "żo" version) provides additional protection against electric shock.
• Resistance: Availability of specialized versions (oil-resistant, halogen-free, armored) allows adaptation to specific operating conditions.
• Flexibility: Soft copper strands facilitate installation even in challenging environments.
• Compliance: Meets requirements of standards PN-HD 308 and PN-EN 60811-2-1 (for oil-resistant versions).
