FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

Why does N2XH carry ~15–20 % more current than an NYY-J PVC cable of the exact same copper cross-section?
NYY-J uses thermoplastic PVC insulation limited to +70 °C continuous conductor temperature (+160 °C short-circuit), whereas N2XH uses cross-linked polyethylene (2XI1 XLPE) rated to +90 °C continuous (+250 °C short-circuit). For example, 5×16 mm² N2XH-J in air at 30 °C is rated ~94 A vs ~80 A for 5×16 mm² NYY-J.
What is the difference between N2XH and N2XCH?
N2XH is an unscreened power cable (available as 3-, 4- or 5-core with an insulated Green/Yellow PE core). N2XCH adds a concentric helical copper wire + copper tape screen ('C') around the core assembly for EMC-sensitive environments or tamper-proof public installations.
Can N2XH be buried directly in the ground like NYY-J?
According to DIN VDE 0276-604, thermoplastic HM4 polyolefin sheaths are designed for indoor/outdoor installation in air, trays and conduits. Underground runs must be installed inside protective closed cable ducts/pipes Free of standing water; for direct soil burial without conduit, specify armoured or PE-sheathed N2XY / NA2XY.
What do '-J' and '-O' mean in N2XH-J and N2XH-O?
'-J' indicates the cable includes a Green/Yellow protective earth (PE) conductor (e.g. 3G, 4G, 5G). '-O' indicates the cable has no Green/Yellow conductor (used on 1-core parallel phase feeders or 3-wire/4-wire circuits with a separate earth bar).
