YJV 0.6/1kV Copper XLPE-Insulated PVC-Sheathed Power Cable
YJV is the standard 0.6/1kV power cable across Southeast Asia construction and industrial projects — copper conductor, cross-linked polyethylene insulation, PVC outer sheath. Available 1.5mm² through 630mm² in 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 core constructions for every typical LV feeder and branch-circuit application.

Overview
YJV combines Class 2 stranded copper conductor with extruded XLPE insulation, then a PVC outer sheath compounded for SEA ambient. Suitable for fixed installation indoors, in cable trays, in cable ducts, or in direct-buried trenches where mechanical protection is not required. Continuous conductor temperature 90°C, short-circuit conductor temperature 250°C — same thermal envelope as every IEC 60502-1 compliant LV cable on the market.
Key Features
Universal IEC compliance
KEMA / DEKRA type-tested to IEC 60502-1 — accepted by every major SEA utility and EPC consultant without project-specific waiver.
Tropical-spec PVC sheath
Sheath compound formulated for 50°C ambient and 95% humidity — passes 30-day humidity chamber test before lot release.
Full cross-section ladder
1.5 mm² to 630 mm² in one product family — no need to mix YJV with another supplier for the large feeder sizes.
Applications
Building riser feeders
Vertical service feeders from main switchgear to tenant distribution boards in commercial and residential high-rises.
Industrial motor circuits
Plant feeder from MCC to fixed-speed motors, capacitor banks, and lighting distribution.
