MJCM 4300 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) I asked my supplier for prices on NYY cable 10mm2 and 16mm2 Â They came back with the question: Above Ground or Under Ground usage. Â I thought that NYY was rated for usage above ground and underground, am I mistaken?? Â TiA Â Edit: I replied to them just gave me both prices and they will get back to me!

bankruatsteve 2192 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Don't know why there would be a difference in price if its the same cable. Under/over whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under/over whatever. I don't know YET if there is a difference in price, hopefully I know today.  Under/over whatever indeed the same as I thought, that is why my question.  Why would they ask if it was used above/over?

MJCM 4300 Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 According to the Bangkok cable site, there are two types of NYY  NYY & NYY-G  https://www.bangkokcable.com/system/product/file_upload/211102_450!750V 70C NYY-G_2-4core_Rev04.pdf  https://www.bangkokcable.com/system/product/file_upload/211102_450!750V 70C NYY_1-4core_Rev04.pdf  maybe that is what they mean???? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly could be but the cables are not the same. The NYY has all cores of the same size but the NYY-G has at least 2 phase cores with a ground cable that is often smaller than the phase cores. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in your opinion which is the better cable? The NYY-G one? Or it doesn't matter?  I will hopefully know today what the price difference is, but as soon as I know I will report back!
