Power cable No name YKY 4x6 mm² 0.6/1 kV — copper conductor, PVC insulation and sheath

YKY 4x6 mm² power cable with copper conductors and PVC insulation is a fixed-installation electrical cable rated 0.6/1 kV. It contains four 6 mm² copper cores insulated and covered by a PVC outer sheath, intended for permanent wiring in industrial, commercial and residential installations. The construction provides mechanical durability and electrical reliability for power distribution, feeders and fixed electrical connections where a single multicore cable simplifies routing and termination.

Advantages

The cable combines flexible copper conductors with PVC insulation and sheath, offering a balance of conductivity, mechanical strength and resistance to normal environmental conditions. Its four-core configuration allows for three-phase systems with neutral or for combined power and control circuits in one jacket. Rated for 0.6/1 kV, the cable meets standard voltage requirements for low-voltage distribution and supports stable current carrying capacity for typical installations.

Suitable for

• Fixed power distribution in industrial facilities and commercial buildings
• Feeders to distribution panels and switchgear
• Permanent wiring for motors, pumps and HVAC equipment
• Indoor and protected outdoor installations in cable ducts or trays

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 4 copper conductors
• Conductor cross-section: 6 mm² per core
• Conductor material: copper
• Insulation material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Outer sheath material: PVC
• Rated voltage: 0.6/1 kV
• Design type: fixed-installation multicore power cable

How to use

Install the cable in accordance with local electrical codes and standards for fixed wiring. Route the cable through approved ducts, trays or conduits and secure it to avoid mechanical damage or excessive bending. Strip the outer sheath and individual core insulation only as required for termination, and use appropriate lugs, connectors or terminal blocks sized for 6 mm² copper conductors. Ensure correct phase and neutral identification and apply proper earthing where required. Perform insulation and continuity tests after installation and before energizing.

Usage recommendations

For long runs or installations subject to higher ambient temperatures, verify current carrying capacity and derating factors according to applicable standards. Avoid direct burial unless the cable is specifically rated for underground use or additional protection is provided. Use appropriate mechanical protection at entry points and terminations to prevent abrasion and strain on the conductors.
