VDE-Kabel 246502 NYY-J 5x1.5 mm² RE 50 m ring PVC-insulated earth cable content_copy

The cable of the brand VDE-Kabel, type NYY-J 5X1,5 RE 50M, is a fixed installation power and control cable designed for use outdoors, in the ground, in indoor spaces, and in cable ducts. It is a copper earth cable with PVC insulation and a black PVC outer sheath, suitable for various applications in electrical installation due to its construction and compliance with standards. The designation NYY-J indicates a cable with PVC insulation and sheath, where the letter J signifies the presence of a green-yellow protective conductor. The specification 5X1,5 describes the number of cores (5) and the cross-section per core (1.5 mm²). The marking RE stands for round single-strand copper conductors manufactured according to VDE 0295. The cable is supplied in a length of 50 meters, with the term Ring indicating a specific packaging form optimized for transport and storage.

Applications
This cable is intended for use in various environments, including underground installation, outdoor areas, indoor spaces, and cable ducts. It is suitable for power and control circuits where high mechanical and chemical resistance, as well as sufficient electrical insulation, are required. Due to the PVC insulation and outer sheath, it is resistant to moisture, UV radiation, and common environmental influences, making it suitable for outdoor installations. Installation is typically carried out underground or in enclosed ducts, with the mechanical stability of the cable allowing installation even in lightly loaded areas.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable features five cores, each with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², one of which is a green-yellow protective conductor. The cores are insulated with PVC and marked according to VDE 0293-308, enabling clear identification of individual conductors. The conductors are made of bare copper, manufactured according to VDE 0295, and are in round single-strand form (RE). This ensures high mechanical strength and minimal elongation during installation. The filler layer ensures even distribution of the cores within the cable cross-section and prevents shifting between cores. The black PVC outer sheath protects the cable from external influences such as moisture, mechanical stress, and UV radiation.

Technology Explained Simply
The rated voltage of the cable is 0.6/1 kV, meaning it is suitable for electrical installations with an operating voltage up to 1 kV. The test voltage of 4 kV serves quality control and ensures the cable does not exhibit insulation faults even under increased electrical stress. The maximum operating temperature is +70 °C, with the cable tolerating temperatures from -5 °C to +70 °C during installation. After installation, it can be exposed to temperatures from -30 °C to +70 °C, enabling broad applicability in various climate zones. The bending radius is 15 times the cable diameter for single-core conductors and 12 times for multi-core cables, allowing flexible installation even in tight radii. Flame retardancy according to VDE 0472 Part 804, test method B (equivalent to IEC 332-1), ensures limited flame spread in case of fire, enhancing safety in installation.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is designed for use in electrical installations executed according to applicable standards and regulations (e.g., VDE 0100, DIN VDE 0295). It can be connected with standard cable lugs, connectors, and terminals designed for PVC insulation and copper conductors. The use of appropriate connection elements is required to ensure a safe and durable electrical connection.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by laying in the ground, in cable ducts, or indoors. Underground laying requires sufficient depth and protective measures against mechanical damage, e.g., using protective conduits. Bending radii must be observed to avoid damaging the cores. Connections between cores are made using suitable cable lugs or connectors, ensuring electrical insulation and mechanical strength of the connection. Installation should be performed by qualified professionals to ensure the safety and functionality of the system.

Operational Advantages
The cable offers high mechanical strength, good electrical insulation, and high resistance to environmental influences. The PVC insulation and outer sheath ensure long service life and high reliability. Flame retardancy according to VDE 0472 Part 804, test method B, increases safety in case of fire. The use of a green-yellow protective conductor (J) meets electrical safety requirements and enables safe earthing. The ability to install in various environments and use in power and control circuits makes this cable a versatile solution for various applications in the electrical sector.
