WHAT ARE THE UNDERGROUND CABLES?

What are the underground cables?

Underground power cable installation projects will come with specific requirements for each type of control cable and power cable product. Therefore, selecting electrical connection products related to the power system will take a long time. Among the control cables for underground installation projects, our NYY, and NYCY control cables, HELUKABEL Vietnam meets the necessary technical requirements for your projects.

What is the underground cable?

Underground cables play an important role in transmitting large current loads, designed with pure copper conductors, and PVC insulation. The underground cables are often installed inside the wall or deep in the ground, so this is the difference between underground cables and ordinary cables. Some underground cables will be equipped with metal armor such as galvanized steel to protect the internal structure of the cable, avoiding impact leading to damage from external agents. The underground power cables have 2 or 4-core are commonly selected.

Among the power and control cables dedicated to underground installations, our NYY control cable from HELUKABEL is a product that fully meets the technical requirements, having met the national VDE standard.

Application

NYCY power and control cables are intended for power and signal supply, used for many industries and distribution boards, power stations, house connecting boxes, and systems traffic lights. At the same time, the product also has the role of control and data testing. These cables are typically installed outdoors, underground, underwater, in concrete, indoors, and cable ducts. The concentric conductor (C) is allowed to use as PE-, PEN-conductor, or as the screen.

Power cables require cables made of materials that are resistant to interference and are not affected by underground agents. If you are looking for specialized products for the underground environment, you can refer to 2 signal cable types such as NYY and NYCY cables. In addition, if you need more specific advice on electrical cable products and accompanying accessories or technical requirements in the project, please contact our engineers for assistance as soon as possible.
