YDYżo Cable Identification: Understanding Wire Types & Decoding Labels (Max 90 Characters)

Best answers

What does the YDYżo cable marking mean, and can this cable be buried directly in the ground?

YDYżo is a fixed-installation power cable with solid copper conductors, PVC insulation and PVC sheath, plus a green-yellow protective conductor; it is rated 450/750 V and up to 70°C, and is used in dry and damp rooms and on or under plaster [#1511280][#1511258] It can have from 2 to 10 wires [#1511266] It is not suitable for direct burial in the ground or in a trench [#1511377][#1517617] For underground use, the thread recommends a cable intended for that purpose, such as YKY or an armored/reinforced cable, or at least placing it in a reinforced conduit if you are doing it privately and at your own risk [#1511381][#1568966] Ordinary YDY also becomes stiff in cold weather and is not adapted to wet environments, which is why it can fail underground [#1569723][#1512464]

    Hello, I can't find a good description of the wires somewhere, I don't know how to read exactly what kind of wire it is, I understand that there was a wire, but it's harder, I had another name, but I also had a problem.

    Yes, I am a colleague above, but also: for permanent installation. Number of wires from 2 to 10.

    Regards

    Generally, cables reinforced with tape or wires, eg YKYFty, should be laid in the ground. If you are 150% sure that it will not be possible to damage the YDYŻo cable laid in the ground, then you can do it (for private use), although it will not be entirely in accordance with the requirements of the regulations. (In other words, you do it at your own risk.)

    I greet everyone

    Well, gentlemen, so now I don't know anything, I want to run 220V in this cable, I will bury it at my own risk because, by the way, I buried one such cable (sloppy) and it broke down somewhere, there was a break.

    YDY is generally not suitable for laying in the ground. There is YKY to be laid in the ground, as they wrote above.

    If I can help you with the old way, you shouldn't bury this wire directly in the ground, but you can buy a reinforced conduit (usually gray) for it and bury it in a conduit

    You also have to consider winter conditions. The ground is frost-free up to about 1.2 m deep. Cables with a voltage of up to 1 kV are laid at a depth of 0.5 m and 0.7 m. Ordinary YDY hardens very much at about 0 degrees. It also shrinks by the way. There is a very high probability that in severe frosts + the pressure of the ground, the cable will not withstand and break or the outer coating will come loose and water will enter. Do not be sorry for the money and buy YKYs with a diameter of 1.5 mm?

Topic summary

✨ The YDYżo cable features solid copper conductors with PVC insulation and sheath, designed for permanent installations in dry and damp environments. It is rated for 450/750 V and has a maximum working temperature of 70 °C. The cable is not suitable for underground installation due to its lack of armoring and potential risk of electric shock. Alternatives like YKY cables are recommended for underground use. Users are advised to consider environmental factors, such as frost, when burying cables and to use protective conduits to prevent damage.
