Electric cable Elektrokabel YDY 3x1.5 mm² 450/750 V single-core PVC insulated power cable

Elektrokabel YDY 3x1.5 mm² 450/750 V single-core PVC insulated power cable is a three-conductor fixed-installation cable designed for indoor and protected outdoor use. The cable features PVC insulation and a PVC outer sheath, providing basic mechanical protection and electrical insulation for circuits up to 450/750 V. It is intended for supplying power to lighting, sockets and common household equipment in installations with limited mechanical stress.

Advantages

The cable combines a compact cross-section with flexible single-core conductors that simplify routing in conduits and trunking. PVC insulation and sheath offer resistance to moisture and typical indoor contaminants while keeping the cable cost-effective. Its construction is suited to embedding in walls or installing in cable trays where mechanical loads are not high, and the three-core layout allows for phase, neutral and earth connections for standard household circuits.

Suitable for

• Fixed indoor electrical installations for lighting circuits
• Power supply to household sockets and small appliances
• Installation in conduits, cable trays and embedded wall runs with limited mechanical stress
• Protected outdoor locations such as covered verandas or service rooms

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 3 conductors
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm²
• Rated voltage: 450/750 V
• Insulation material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Outer sheath material: PVC
• Application type: fixed installation, indoor and protected outdoor

How to use

Use this Elektrokabel YDY 3x1.5 mm² cable for permanent wiring runs in residential and commercial interiors. Route the cable through approved conduits, cable trays or embedded channels and secure it according to local electrical codes. Strip insulation carefully to expose conductors and make connections to terminals or junctions designed for 1.5 mm² wiring. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive mechanical abrasion, crushing or sustained high temperatures during and after installation.

Usage recommendations

Verify local regulations and circuit design limits before installation. For lighting and general socket circuits, use appropriate overcurrent protection sized for 1.5 mm² conductors and avoid long runs that may cause significant voltage drop. Do not use this cable in direct burial or areas with high mechanical stress; select specialized armoured or outdoor-rated cables for those conditions.
