Product Overview
E-YY Cable is a 0.6/1kV PVC-insulated, PVC-sheathed unarmored power cable per the Austrian/German VDE designation system. The "E" prefix denotes a heavy-current power cable per VDE, and "YY" indicates PVC insulation + PVC sheath. It is widely used in Austria, Germany, and Central European markets for fixed indoor and outdoor power distribution where no mechanical protection is required. E-YY is functionally identical to NYY in Germany and CYKY in Poland — the designation differs only by national standard body, not by physical construction.

Applicable Standards & Certifications
E-YY cables are manufactured to comply with the following standards. Qiangli can certify production to any combination of these based on project destination and local authority requirements.
| Standard | Scope |
|---|---|
| ÖVE-K 603 | Austrian national standard for PVC-insulated heavy-current cables rated 0.6/1kV. The primary standard for E-YY designation. |
| HD 603 S1 | CENELEC Harmonization Document — base document for national standards across EU/EEA countries. All national variants (ÖVE, DIN VDE, PNE) are derived from HD 603. |
| DIN EN 60228 / IEC 60228 | Conductors of insulated cables — defines Class 1 (RE, solid) and Class 2 (RM/SM, stranded) conductor specifications. |
| HD 308 S2 | Core identification colors. Defines the color coding scheme used across CENELEC countries. |
| IEC 60502-1 | International standard for power cables with extruded insulation, 1kV to 30kV. Accepted in 90+ countries globally. |
| EN 60332-1-2 | Flame propagation test for single cable — E-YY meets this requirement for indoor fire safety. |
| DIN VDE 0276-603 | German equivalent standard (NYY cable). For projects in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. |
| GB/T 12706.1 | Chinese national standard. VV (PVC/PVC) is the equivalent designation under this standard. |
Technical Specifications
RE = round solid conductor (Class 1). RM = round stranded (Class 2). SM = sector-shaped compacted stranded (Class 2). For cables marked "+" (e.g. 3×50/25), the second value is the reduced earth/neutral cross-section. Copper figure = copper weight per km of conductor only.
