Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about NYM-J 10mm² Cable
1. What does “NYM-J” mean for this 10mm² cable?
N = standardised, Y = PVC insulation, M = sheathed cable, J = with green-yellow protective conductor. The 10mm² refers to the cross-section per core – ideal for high-current applications.
2. Can the NYM-J 10mm² cable be buried directly in the ground?
No. It is not rated for direct burial. For underground use we recommend NYY-J or equivalent armoured cables.
3. Which variant should I choose: 1x10 mm² or 5x10 mm²?
The 1x10 mm² (green-yellow) is typically used as an earth conductor. The 5x10 mm² is the standard multi-core cable for three-phase supply plus neutral and earth (e.g., sub-distribution boards).
4. What is the current-carrying capacity of NYM-J 10mm² cable?
Up to approximately 57 A (Installation Method C per VDE 0298-4), depending on ambient temperature, grouping, and installation method. Always consult a qualified electrician for exact project calculations.
5. Is the NYM-J 10mm² cable suitable for direct embedding in concrete?
Only inside conduit or pre-formed channels. Direct embedding in vibrated or tamped concrete is not permitted (VDE 0100-520).
6. Why is NYM-J 10mm² cable popular for van conversions?
Its solid construction, vibration resistance, and wide temperature range (-40 °C to +70 °C) make it ideal for secure fixed wiring in motorhomes and commercial vehicles.
7. Are there volume discounts for trade and industrial customers?
Yes – attractive tiered pricing for electrical contractors, construction companies, and industrial buyers. Contact us for custom quotations.
8. How is the NYM-J 10mm² cable supplied?
As cut-to-length metre ware or in standard coils (10 m, 25 m, 50 m, 100 m). Fast delivery and free shipping options available for qualifying orders.
