German Standard Industrial Cables
NYCWY

Application and Description

NYCWY Power cables is for energy supply, preferably used for underground laying, especially in subscriber networks, power station as well as control impulses and test data. Overall, where increased electrical and also mechanical protection are required. These cables are installed in open air, in underground, in water, indoors and in cable ducts. The corrugated concentric conductor (CW) is allowed to use as neutral, protective or earth conductor. Simultaneously, this also is permitted to apply as a screen for example earthed-connected protection against contact. Due to the typical construction of corrugated concentric conductors (Ceander), are possible to obtain many more cable joints, without cutting any conductor. In that way the operating reliability is guaranteed.
