FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

Why does YHKGYekyn combine both 'H' and 'ek' screening?
The inner 'H' semi-conductive/electrostatic screen smooths the radial electric field around each insulated phase conductor, while the outer 'ek' concentric copper wire and copper tape screen provides a low-resistance metallic path for earth-fault currents and sensitive leakage protection. Each production drum undergoes 100 %
Why is YHKGYekyn widely used to feed movable underground 6 kV transformer stations?
As longwall or room-and-pillar mining faces advance, the 6 kV district transformer skid is periodically moved forward. Because YHKGYekyn uses multi-wire 'G' copper conductors and replaces heavy steel armour with a concentric copper screen ('ek'), it can be coiled and re-hung along roadway hooks much more easily than steel-armoured cables.
How is the copper screen cross-section specified when ordering YHKGYekyn?
YHKGYekyn is designated with the screen cross-section after a slash — for example, 'YHKGYekyn 3×70/25 mm² 3.6/6 kV' indicates three 70 mm² phase conductors and a 25 mm² concentric copper screen ('ek'). Each production drum undergoes 100 % conductor DC resistance verification, insulation thickness
What if my roadway requires mechanical steel armour in addition to screening?
For horizontal roadways exposed to rock crush, specify galvanized steel-tape armoured YHKGYFtZnyn; for vertical shafts and inclined drifts, specify galvanized round-steel-wire armoured YHKGYFoyn. Each production drum undergoes 100 % conductor DC resistance verification, insulation thickness gauging, and high-voltage AC or DC dielectric testing before
