Application

YSLYCY-JZ (also known as CY) is the screened version of YSLY-JZ: a tinned copper braid around the cores limits pick-up and emission. The right choice wherever the cable runs alongside drives or motors, or carries sensitive signals itself. The screen only works if you earth it correctly. Supplied to order; the lead time is stated in the quote.

YSLYCY-JZ (also known as CY) is a flexible multicore control cable with class 5 fine-wire plain copper conductors, PVC core insulation, a tinned copper wire braid screen and a PVC outer sheath, rated 300/500 V. The braid screen limits electromagnetic interference to and from the cable, making the type suitable for control, signalling and measuring circuits in machinery, plant and process installations where EMC requirements apply. It is intended for fixed installation and for occasional free movement without tensile load or forced guiding, in dry and damp indoor locations; the sheath is resistant to common oils and greases.

Applications

  • Control and measuring circuits alongside drives, servos and large motors.
  • Machines and process installations with EMC requirements on the wiring.
  • Environments with oil and grease; the PVC sheath resists both.

What to look out for

  • With drives, earth the braid at both ends 360° through EMC glands; with a pigtail (a wire tail on the braid), the screen is largely ineffective at high frequencies.
  • CPR class Eca. Where the cable is installed permanently in a building and exposed to indoor air, the Bbl requires at least Dca. The wiring inside a control panel or machine is not covered by that requirement, but the cables running to it are.

Which one do I choose?

YSLYCY-JZ or YSLYCY-OZ?

YSLYCY-JZ

  • green/yellow core from three cores

YSLYCY-OZ

  • no green/yellow core

Both are screened PVC control cables for 300/500 V with black, numbered cores and a tinned copper braid. YSLYCY-JZ has a green/yellow protective conductor from three cores up; YSLYCY-OZ does not. Choose YSLYCY-JZ if the protective conductor must be in the cable, and YSLYCY-OZ if earthing runs elsewhere or all cores carry signals.

YSLYCY-JZ or H05VVC4V5-K?

YSLYCY-JZ

  • not harmonised

H05VVC4V5-K

  • harmonised, EN 50525-2-51

Both are screened PVC control cables for 300/500 V with a tinned copper braid. H05VVC4V5-K is harmonised to EN 50525-2-51, the standard for oil-resistant control cables. YSLYCY-JZ is not harmonised. Choose H05VVC4V5-K if the specification calls for a harmonised type or oil resistance to EN 50525-2-51; otherwise YSLYCY-JZ is enough.
