FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

How do the letters in 'YKGYyn-żo' decode under PN-G-90006?
'Y' = PVC core insulation; 'K' = power cable (kabel elektroenergetyczny); 'G' = flexible multi-wire Class 5 copper conductors (żyły giętkie); 'Y' = extruded PVC inner sheath; 'yn' = flame-retardant mining PVC outer sheath (powłoka polwinitowa uniepalniona); and '-żo' = with green-yellow protective earth conductor.
Why does YKGYyn-żo use Class 5 flexible conductors ('G') instead of rigid Class 1/2 conductors?
In underground mine galleries, transformer substations and conveyor drive heads are periodically advanced as the mining face progresses. Class 5 flexible copper conductors ('G') allow YKGYyn-żo to be unhooked, coiled, and re-hung without work-hardening or breaking conductors. Each production drum undergoes 100 % conductor
How does YKGYyn-żo differ from YHKGYyn?
YKGYyn-żo is an unscreened double-sheathed cable, whereas YHKGYyn incorporates an electrostatic/semi-conductive screen ('H') between the inner and outer sheaths for methane-hazardous roadways. Each production drum undergoes 100 % conductor DC resistance verification, insulation thickness gauging, and high-voltage AC or DC dielectric testing before release
Is YKGYyn-żo available without the green-yellow core?
Yes. When ordered for 3-phase delta circuits or control trunks without an integral PE core, it is designated YKGYyn-o. Each production drum undergoes 100 % conductor DC resistance verification, insulation thickness gauging, and high-voltage AC or DC dielectric testing before release with an EN
