FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

What do the letters in YHKGXSyn stand for under the Polish mining cable code?
'YHKG' denotes a mining power cable with special PVC compounds, 'XS' denotes cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE, +90 °C) core insulation, and 'yn' denotes an enhanced flame-retardant PVC outer sheath (Oxygen Index ≥ 29 %). Because there is no 'ek' or 'FtZn'/'Fo' in the designation, YHKGXSyn is unscreened and unarmoured.
When must I upgrade from YHKGXSyn to YHKGXSekyn or YHKGXSekFtZnyn?
Under Polish WUG underground mining regulations, medium-voltage cables in methane-hazard galleries or above 3.6/6 kV must include an earthed metallic screen over each phase ('ek', as in YHKGXSekyn). If the gallery is also exposed to rockfall, mobile machinery or inclination up to 45°, add flat steel tape armour ('FtZn', as in YHKGXSekFtZnyn).
Why is the outer sheath of 3.6/6 kV YHKGXSyn coloured red?
Polish mining standard PN-G-90006 mandates a red outer sheath on medium-voltage (≥ 3.6/6 kV) underground mining cables to visually distinguish energized MV feeders from black/yellow low-voltage and intrinsically safe blue cables in dim mine galleries.
What factory routine tests and certificates are supplied with YHKGXSyn?
Every production drum of YHKGXSyn undergoes 100 % conductor DC resistance measurement at 20 °C, high-voltage AC/DC dielectric withstand testing, and dimensional verification per PN-G-90006 / PN-93/E-90401 / IEC 60502-2, supplied with an EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificate.
