Flat installation cable Śląsk YDYp 3x1.5 mm² 450/750V white on drum

Śląsk YDYp flat installation cable 3x1.5 mm², rated 450/750V, is a white, drum-supplied cable intended for fixed indoor electrical installations. The cable features three solid conductors with PVC insulation and a PVC outer sheath, offering reliable conductivity and basic mechanical protection for common lighting and power circuits in residential and commercial buildings. Delivered on a drum for easy unrolling, this flat-profile cable is designed to sit neatly under floorboards, in skirting channels, or along walls where space is limited.

Advantages

The flat construction allows for low-profile routing in shallow channels and confined spaces, reducing the need for larger conduits. Solid copper conductors ensure stable electrical contact and straightforward termination in standard terminals and junction boxes. PVC insulation and outer sheath provide electrical insulation and durability for normal indoor conditions. Supplied on a drum, the cable is convenient for longer runs and professional installation, minimising kinks and facilitating measured deployment.

Suitable for

• Fixed indoor electrical wiring in homes and apartments
• Lighting circuits and switches
• Power outlets and small appliance circuits
• Runs under skirting boards, in shallow grooves, or behind trims

When it may not be suitable

This YDYp cable is intended for fixed indoor use only and does not have the mechanical protection or UV resistance required for direct outdoor exposure or burial. It is not designed for use where frequent flexing or movement is expected; in such cases a flexible cable with stranded conductors should be selected. For installations subject to higher temperatures, chemicals, or where enhanced fire performance is required, consult relevant standards and choose a cable with appropriate certification.

Key specifications

• Conductor configuration: 3 conductors, solid
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per conductor
• Rated voltage: 450/750 V
• Insulation and sheath material: PVC
• Colour: white outer sheath
• Profile: flat
• Supply form: on drum for easy unrolling

How to use

Plan the cable route avoiding sources of heat, sharp edges and contact with corrosive substances. Measure the run length and unroll the required amount from the drum to avoid twists. Terminate the solid conductors into appropriate connectors or terminal blocks sized for 1.5 mm² conductors, ensuring secure screw torque and correct conductor identification. Fix the cable using suitable clips or channels designed for flat cable profiles, maintaining required clearances from other systems according to local wiring regulations. Perform insulation and continuity checks before energising the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the conductor size (1.5 mm²) is appropriate for the intended current load and circuit protection.
• Ensure the cable's indoor-only rating and PVC materials meet site environmental conditions and local electrical codes.
• Verify the flat profile and drum supply suit the planned routing and installation method.

Usage recommendations

For typical lighting and socket circuits in residential and light commercial buildings use this flat 3x1.5 mm² YDYp cable for fixed indoor runs, securing it in shallow channels or skirting routes. If the installation requires outdoor exposure, frequent movement, higher mechanical protection or higher temperature resistance, choose a cable with suitable construction and certification.
