Power cable No name YKXS 1x50 mm² 0.6/1 kV — single-core copper cable for fixed installations

Single-core power cable No name YKXS 1x50 mm² 0.6/1 kV is designed for fixed electrical installations and power distribution where a robust single conductor is required. The cable features a 50 mm² copper conductor with insulation and an outer sheath rated for 0.6/1 kV, intended for supplying motors, switchgear and distribution boards in residential, commercial and light industrial environments. It is suitable where a single-core cable — either installed in conduit, cable tray or directly embedded in building structures — is specified by the installation design.

Advantages

The construction provides a solid copper conductor with standard insulation and outer sheath that meet the voltage rating of 0.6/1 kV. Its single-core form factor allows straightforward connection to motor terminals, distribution blocks and switchgear phases. The cable's cross-sectional area of 50 mm² supports higher current-carrying capacity compared with smaller conductors, reducing voltage drop over medium-length runs. This type of cable is compatible with common installation methods for fixed wiring and can be used with or without additional mechanical protection depending on site requirements.

Suitable for

• Supplying electric motors and drives
• Phase conductors to switchgear and distribution boards
• Fixed wiring in buildings and light industrial installations
• Cable runs in conduit, trays or direct burial when permitted

Key specifications

• Conductor material: copper (single core)
• Conductor cross-section: 50 mm²
• Number of cores: 1 (single-core)
• Voltage rating: 0.6/1 kV
• Insulation and outer sheath suitable for fixed installations

How to use

Install the cable following applicable electrical codes and site drawings. Route the single-core conductor from the supply point to the load, securing it in conduit, cable tray or other approved support. Strip insulation as required to make proper, tight electrical terminations at terminals, lugs or busbars sized for 50 mm² conductors. Ensure correct phase identification and, where multiple single-core conductors are used together, maintain proper spacing and separation as required by regulations. Protection devices and cable sizing should be selected based on expected load, ambient temperature and installation method to avoid overheating and excessive voltage drop.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable only in fixed installations and avoid flexible or mobile applications. Verify compatibility with local wiring regulations and select additional mechanical protection (armoring, conduit or trunking) when routing through areas subject to mechanical stress. For connections to motors and switchgear, use appropriately rated lugs and ensure torque settings meet manufacturer specifications.
