Protective conductor

The aluminium earthing cable NAYY-J 4X 95 SE from VDE-Kabel is an energy and control cable designed for use outdoors, in the ground, in power plants, industrial and switchgear installations, as well as in local networks. It is also suitable for use in water, in dry and damp indoor areas, and in cable ducts, provided no mechanical damage is expected. The cable features a sector-shaped, single-wire aluminium conductor in accordance with VDE 0295 and is fitted with a black PVC outer sheath. The core insulation is also made of PVC, and the core identification follows VDE 0293-308. Type J indicates the version with integrated protective conductor, enabling use in electrical installations requiring a protective conductor.

Applications
This cable is suitable for a wide range of applications in the field of energy and control technology. It is particularly used for underground installation, for example in supply systems for residential areas, industrial plants or power stations. Use in water and damp indoor areas is also intended, provided mechanical stress is limited. Possible applications also include installation in cable ducts and local networks, as long as no high mechanical loads occur.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The conductor is made of aluminium and is sector-shaped, single-wire (SE), enabling optimal space utilisation within the cable cross-section. The PVC insulation of the cores ensures good electrical insulation and chemical resistance. The filler sheath ensures even distribution of the cores within the cable cross-section and supports mechanical stability. The black PVC outer sheath protects the cable from external influences such as moisture, UV radiation and mechanical stress. Core identification follows VDE 0293-308, enabling unambiguous identification of individual conductors during operation.

Technology Explained Simply
The rated voltage of the cable is 0.6/1 kV, making it suitable for use in low-voltage installations. The test voltage of 4 kV serves quality assurance and ensures the cable meets the required electrical insulation values. The maximum operating temperature is +70 °C, while the cable can withstand temperatures from -5 °C to +50 °C during installation. After installation, it can be exposed to temperatures from -30 °C to +70 °C. The bending radius is 12 times the cable diameter, allowing flexible installation without compromising mechanical integrity. Flame retardancy according to VDE 0472 Part 804, test method B (equivalent to IEC 332-1), ensures limited flame spread in case of fire.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is designed for use in electrical installations requiring a rated voltage of 0.6/1 kV. It is equipped with a protective conductor, enabling use in installations requiring a protective conductor. Installation is carried out underground, in cable ducts or indoors, with mechanical stress being limited.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out underground, in cable ducts or indoors. The bending radius of 12 times the cable diameter allows flexible installation, with mechanical stress being limited. The temperature during installation should be between -5 °C and +50 °C. After installation, the cable can be exposed to temperatures from -30 °C to +70 °C.

Operational Advantages
The cable offers high mechanical stability and chemical resistance due to the PVC outer sheath. The sector-shaped conductor design enables efficient space utilisation within the cable cross-section. Flame retardancy according to VDE 0472 Part 804, test method B, ensures limited flame spread in case of fire. The use of aluminium as conductor material reduces weight compared to copper conductors, making installation easier. The maximum operating temperature of +70 °C enables stable operation under various environmental conditions.
