NYFGY Cables

NYFGY cables are Medium Voltage rigid armoured cables, with flat steel wire armour manufactured in accordance with German standard DIN VDE 0271. Insulated and sheathed in PVC, it has an operating temperature range of -5^oC to +70^oC. Less commonly used than the BS6622 or BS7835 British standard cables, or indeed the NA2XSY MV range with XLPE insulation and a +90^oC upper operating temperature, the NYFGY cable is nevertheless are still specified for a range of applications, often where the connected equipment is temperature limited.

It is not normally the case to find Medium Voltage armoured cables manufactured to European standards - there is often no restriction on requiring direct burial cables to have integral mechanical protection unlike there is in the UK. The SWA of the NYFGY offers additional protection for installations where there is high risk of mechanical damage. As such it is often used in power plants and heavy industrial settings where critical power must be maintained.
