0.6/1kV NYBY Cable

What is NYBY Cable?

NYBY Cable is a 0.6/1kV Class 2 stranded copper conductor PVC insulated double steel tape armoured (STA) power cable manufactured according to IEC 60502-1, VDE 0276-603, and IS 1516.1 standards. It is engineered specifically to supply low-voltage power across industrial plants, utility substations, and civil infrastructure operating under harsh physical environments.

The cable construction consists of high-purity stranded copper conductors, protective PVC insulation, an extruded PVC filler bed, double galvanized steel tape armouring, and an outer flame-retardant black PVC jacket. The counter-wrapped steel tapes form a continuous mechanical guard that absorbs high radial impact and earth compaction forces, preserving electrical performance during direct burial or channel laying.

NYBY Cable Construction

Conductor

Class 2 stranded plain copper conductor per IEC/EN 60228, providing high conductivity and structural reliability.

Insulation

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) compound formulated for continuous operating loads up to +70°C.

Inner Filler

Extruded PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) filler bedding the core assembly into a smooth round foundation.

Armour Layer

Double galvanized steel tape (STA) wrapped counter-helically for full circumferential mechanical crush protection.

Outer Sheath

Flame-retardant black PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) compliant with IEC 60332-1.

Core Identification

2 core: Brown, Blue; 3 core: Brown, Blue, Green/Yellow; 4 core: Brown, Black, Grey, Green/Yellow; 5 core: Brown, Blue, Black, Grey, Green/Yellow.

Applications

NYBY 0.6/1kV Armoured Cable is engineered for indoor, outdoor, and subterranean energy distribution where mechanical damage risk is elevated. Key application environments include:

Power Generating Stations & Switchgear: Connecting low-voltage control circuits, distribution boards, and transformers inside utility plants and switchgear rooms.
Subterranean Channels & Cable Ducts: Installed inside direct burial earth trenches, subterranean concrete channels, and protective municipal conduits.
Industrial Manufacturing Facilities: Routing heavy power feeds along open cable trays, equipment trenches, and factory floors subject to physical impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the main structural difference between NYBY and N2XBY cables?
A: NYBY features PVC insulation rated for maximum continuous operating temperatures of +70°C, whereas N2XBY utilizes XLPE insulation supporting continuous operation up to +90°C.

Q: What protection does the Double Steel Tape Armour (STA) provide in NYBY cables?
A: Double steel tape armour forms a continuous radial barrier around the cores, providing effective protection against soil crushing pressure, mechanical impacts, and rodent penetration.

Q: Can NYBY cable be installed directly in subterranean soil?
A: Yes, NYBY is rated for direct burial underground, as well as installation in cable channels, concrete ducts, and indoor industrial environments.

Q: What payment terms does Huadong Cable Group accept for international orders?
A: We accept Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) and Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight for international B2B transactions.
