VDE-Kabel 245123 NYY-O 1x95 mm² RM Eca PVC-insulated earth cable drum content_copy

The cable of the brand VDE-Kabel, type NYY-O 1X95 RM, is a fixed installation power and control cable designed for use outdoors, in the ground, indoors, and in cable ducts. It is a copper earth cable with a cross-sectional area of 95 mm², suitable for demanding environments due to its robust construction and the use of PVC insulation and outer sheath. The designation NYY-O indicates a cable without a green-yellow protective conductor, where O stands for without. The type RM denotes a round multi-strand copper conductor manufactured according to VDE 0295. The conductors are bare and made of copper, with the multi-strand design providing better flexibility and bending strength, especially under frequent bending stress.

Applications
This cable is intended for installation in earth ducts, outdoors, and indoors, where high mechanical and chemical resistance is required. It is suitable for applications in industry, construction, and energy supply, where durable and reliable power transmission is necessary. Use in cable ducts enables structured and orderly cable installation, particularly in buildings or technical systems.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The conductor is made of bare copper manufactured according to VDE 0295. The multi-strand design (RM) provides higher flexibility and bending strength compared to single-strand conductors. The core insulation is made of PVC, offering good electrical insulation and mechanical stability. Core identification follows VDE 0293-308, with color coding for 1 to 5 cores. As this is a NYY-O cable, no green-yellow protective conductor is present. From 6 cores onwards, identification is done with black cores and white numbers. A filler layer ensures even distribution of cores within the cable cross-section and prevents core displacement. The outer sheath is made of black PVC, providing high resistance to UV radiation, moisture, and mechanical stress.

Technology Explained Simply
The rated voltage is 0.6/1 kV, meaning the cable is designed for voltages up to 1 kV with an operating voltage of 0.6 kV. The test voltage of 4 kV is used to verify insulation strength and ensures the cable operates safely even under transient voltage surges. The operating temperature is limited to a maximum of +70 °C, indicating the highest temperature the cable may reach during operation without impairing insulation or mechanical properties. The temperature ranges are specified as -5 °C to +70 °C during installation and -30 °C to +70 °C after installation, meaning the cable can be laid in cold conditions but should not be operated below -30 °C. The bending radius is 15 times the cable diameter for single-core conductors and 12 times for multi-core conductors, indicating the minimum curvature during installation to avoid damage. The flame retardancy complies with VDE 0472 Part 804, Test Method B, equivalent to IEC 332-1, meaning the cable does not produce flames under specific fire test conditions.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is suitable for use with standard cable glands, cable lugs, and other connection elements designed for PVC insulation and copper conductors. It can be installed in combination with other cables of the same rated voltage and similar mechanical load capacity. Installation in earth ducts may require additional protective measures such as protective conduits, especially under mechanical stress from traffic or construction work.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by laying in the ground, in cable ducts, or outdoors. When laying in the ground, ensure the cable is buried deep enough to avoid mechanical damage. Bending radii must be observed to maintain cable integrity. Connections are made using appropriate cable lugs or connection elements designed for a cross-sectional area of 95 mm².

Operational Advantages
The cable offers high mechanical strength and good resistance to environmental influences such as moisture, UV radiation, and chemical exposure. The PVC insulation ensures reliable electrical insulation, and the multi-strand conductor design allows for flexible installation. The high test voltage and flame retardancy according to VDE 0472 Part 804, Test Method B, enhance operational safety.
