VDE-Kabel 246519 NYY-J 5x1.5 mm² RE 100 m-ring Eca PVC-insulated earth cable content_copy

The cable NYY-J 5X1.5 RE 100M from VDE-Kabel is a fixed installation power and control cable designed for use outdoors, in the ground, in indoor spaces, and in cable ducts. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring high mechanical and chemical resistance as well as secure power supply. The cable features a green-yellow protective conductor (designation J), making it suitable for use in electrical installations in accordance with applicable safety regulations. The designation RE indicates a round single-strand copper conductor manufactured according to VDE 0295, offering high mechanical strength and good electrical conductivity.

Applications
This cable is designed for use in various environments, including underground installation, outdoor areas, indoor spaces, and cable ducts. It is especially suitable for installations requiring permanent and reliable power supply, such as in industry, residential construction, or infrastructure. Installation must be carried out within specified temperature ranges: during installation, the temperature must be between -5 °C and +70 °C; after installation, the operating temperature range is -30 °C to +70 °C. The maximum operating temperature is +70 °C, ensuring high thermal resistance.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable consists of five conductors, each with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², one of which is a green-yellow protective conductor. The conductors are insulated with PVC, providing good electrical insulation and chemical resistance. Conductor identification follows VDE 0293-308, with colors and numbers uniquely identifying each conductor. A filler layer ensures even distribution of the conductors within the cable cross-section and prevents uneven loading. The outer sheath is also made of PVC and is black, providing high mechanical and UV resistance.

Technology Explained Simply
The rated voltage of the cable is 0.6/1 kV, meaning it is suitable for applications with an operating voltage up to 1 kV. The test voltage of 4 kV ensures quality control and guarantees the cable remains stable even under increased electrical stress. The bending radius is 15 times the cable diameter for single-core conductors and 12 times for multi-core cables, enabling safe and damage-free installation. Flame retardancy according to VDE 0472 Part 804, test method B (equivalent to IEC 332-1), ensures the cable does not easily ignite and does not propagate flame, meeting fire protection requirements in many applications.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is designed for use in electrical installations executed according to applicable standards and regulations. It is compatible with standard installation techniques and materials, such as cable ducts, underground installation systems, and electrical distributors. The use of appropriate connection components, such as connectors or cable lugs, is required to ensure a secure and durable connection. The exact selection of accessories depends on the specific application and local regulations.

Installation and Mounting
Installation must comply with specified temperature and bending radius requirements. The cable must not be excessively bent or stretched to avoid damaging the conductors or insulation material. For underground installation, it must be ensured that the cable is buried deep enough to be protected from mechanical stress and weather influences. Installation in cable ducts requires proper routing and securing to ensure adequate ventilation and heat dissipation.

Operational Advantages
The cable offers high reliability and longevity due to its robust construction and use of high-quality materials. The PVC insulation and outer sheath provide high mechanical and chemical resistance, extending the cable's service life. The flame-retardant design increases operational safety, especially in enclosed spaces or installations with higher fire protection requirements. Clear conductor identification simplifies installation and maintenance, as each conductor is uniquely identifiable.

Protection Rating and Environmental Conditions
The cable is designed for use in various environments, including outdoor areas and underground installation. The PVC insulation and black outer sheath offer high resistance to UV radiation, moisture, and mechanical stress. The temperature resistance of -30 °C to +70 °C after installation allows use in a wide range of climatic conditions. The protection rating is not explicitly specified; however, due to its construction and materials, the cable is suitable for outdoor and underground use, implying high mechanical and chemical load capacity.
