Fixed installation
Unarmoured construction allows easier handling and tighter routing between underground MV/LV switchgear bays and mobile transformer skids.
Product
YHKGYekyn Cable is a Polish-standard (PN-G-90006) unarmoured dual-screened ('H' + 'ek') underground mining power cable rated for 0.6/1 kV, 3.6/6 kV, and 6/10 kV networks, combining multi-wire copper conductors ('G'), PVC core insulation ('Y')
Typical values for this cable type, based on PN-G-90006 / ZN-TF (YHKGYekyn 0.6/1 kV, 3.6/6 kV & 6/10 kV Dual-Screened Mining Cable) — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Engineered for methane-hazardous (Group I) underground coal and copper mine galleries, movable MV/LV transformer substations, and high-power VFD drives requiring both radial field control ('H') and
Unarmoured construction allows easier handling and tighter routing between underground MV/LV switchgear bays and mobile transformer skids.
Concentric copper wire/tape screen ('ek') carries full earth-fault current and shields VFD harmonics.
Inner PVC bedding and outer 'yn' flame-retardant mining PVC sheath protect the copper screen against mine water.
Construction
Multi-wire stranded copper conductors (PN-EN 60228 Class 5 or Class 2, 10 to 185 mm²), conductor and core semi-conductive screens ('H')
