The YSLY-JZ 4X4,0 0,6/1KV SCHWARZ is a flexible PVC-sheathed cable from manufacturer Xaver Bechtold, designed for use in industrial applications such as machine tools, conveyor and transfer belts, production lines, plant engineering, and climate technology, particularly in steelworks and rolling mills. The cable is intended for measurement, control, and control purposes and is suitable for flexible installation under moderate mechanical stress, with free movement without tensile load and without forced guidance. It can be permanently installed in dry, damp, and wet rooms as well as outdoors, but not directly in soil or water. The black special PVC outer sheath is UV-resistant and provides protection against external influences. The conductors are numbered with continuous white digit printing according to DIN VDE 0293, with base dashes ensuring clear identification of numbers even when the sheath is stripped short. The green-yellow protective conductor is arranged in the outer layer, enabling safe identification.

Applications
The cable is primarily used in southern European and Arab countries as well as in eastern states. It is suitable for installations with moving parts requiring flexible routing, for example in production plants with movable components. The cable is used in environments where it is subjected to mechanical stress but does not experience direct tensile load. Permanent outdoor installation is possible as long as the cable does not come into direct contact with soil or water.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable consists of bare, fine-stranded copper conductors according to DIN VDE 0295 Class 5 or IEC 60228 Class 5, ensuring high flexibility. The conductor insulation is made of special PVC according to DIN VDE 0281 Part 1, Type T12. The conductors are stranded in layers with optimal lay lengths, ensuring even distribution of mechanical stress. The outer sheath is made of special PVC, Type TM2 according to DIN VDE 0281 Part 1, and exhibits high oil resistance. The material is self-extinguishing and flame-retardant, enhancing operational safety. Testing is performed according to VDE 0472 Part 804 and IEC 60332-1, Test Method B, confirming fire resistance.

Technology Explained Simply
The rated voltage is U(0)/U 0.6/1 kV, meaning the cable is designed for an operating voltage up to 1 kV. The test voltage is 4000 V, verifying the electrical strength of the insulation. The insulation resistance is at least 20 MΩ·km, ensuring high electrical insulation. Current-carrying capacity is determined according to VDE 0298 Part 4, with exact capacity depending on ambient temperature and installation method. The minimum bending radius is 7.5 times the cable outer diameter, enabling flexibility during installation. Radiation resistance is up to 80x10⁶ cJ/kg (80 Mrad), ensuring resistance to ionizing radiation. The UV resistance of the sheath protects the cable from sunlight exposure outdoors.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is designed in accordance with DIN VDE 0262-12.95 and DIN VDE 0281 Part 13, with insulation wall thickness designed for 1 kV. Temperature ranges are defined: for flexible installation from -5 °C to +70 °C, and for fixed installation from -40 °C to +80 °C. The cable is designed for industrial environments where high mechanical and chemical stresses may occur. The use of accessories such as protective conduits or cable protection ducts is possible, but not included in the delivery.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by permanent fixing in suitable environments, with the cable not to be laid directly in soil or water. Flexible installation requires bending with a minimum bending radius of 7.5 times the cable outer diameter. The cable is connected using suitable plug connectors or terminals, ensuring a secure and durable electrical connection. The conductor marking facilitates installation, as numbers remain clearly visible even when the sheath is stripped short.

Operational Advantages
The cable offers high mechanical and chemical resistance, particularly due to the oil-resistant and UV-resistant special PVC sheath. The self-extinguishing and flame-retardant properties enhance operational safety. The flexible construction enables easy installation in moving installations, while high insulation strength and high insulation resistance ensure reliable electrical performance. Clear conductor marking reduces errors during installation and maintenance.
