Product Description

Finolex 3-Core Flexible Copper Cable Wire is available in 1.5 Sq.mm, 2.5 Sq.mm, and 4 Sq.mm variants, each in a 100-metre coil, rated to 1100V and manufactured to IS-694 standards. All three variants use multi-strand electrolytic grade bare copper conductors across three colour-coded cores - Phase, Neutral, and Earth - in a flame retardant (FR) PVC jet black outer sheath that is self-extinguishing and rated to 1100V. The multi-strand construction gives the cable high flexibility for routing through conduits and tight bends without kinking or conductor breakage.

Choose the variant based on the current load of your circuit: 1.5 Sq.mm (13A) for light circuits and smaller appliances, 2.5 Sq.mm (20A) for air conditioners, geysers, and pumps, and 4 Sq.mm (27A) for high-draw industrial equipment, large motors, and main distribution feeds. Using an undersized cable on a high-current circuit causes the cable to run warm, degrades insulation over time, and increases fire risk - always match the cable size to the circuit load.

FAQs

1) Which variant should I order - 1.5, 2.5, or 4 Sq.mm?

Choose based on the current load of your circuit. 1.5 Sq.mm (13A) suits light circuits - fans, lights, and standard power points up to 1.5kW. 2.5 Sq.mm (20A) is the correct gauge for air conditioners (1.5-2 ton), geysers (2kW-3kW), and water pumps. 4 Sq.mm (27A) is for large motors, industrial equipment, and main distribution board feeds where the load exceeds 20A. Your electrician can confirm the correct size from the current draw specification on your appliance nameplate or from the circuit breaker rating in your distribution board.

2) Why do I need a 3-core cable instead of a 2-core cable for my air conditioner or geyser?

High-draw appliances require a dedicated earth connection - the earth conductor provides a fault path that trips the MCB in the event of an insulation failure or appliance fault, protecting the user and the appliance. A 2-core cable (Phase and Neutral only) does not provide this earth path. Indian electrical codes and appliance manufacturer specifications require a 3-core earthed circuit for all appliances above 1kW.

3) What does IS-694 certification mean and why does it matter?

IS-694 is the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to 1100V. IS-694 certified cable has been manufactured to verified dimensional, conductor purity, insulation thickness, and flame retardancy standards. Non-certified cables may have undersized conductors, thinner insulation, or inferior PVC that degrades faster and poses a higher fire risk. Always specify IS-694 certified cable for permanent building and appliance wiring.

4) What is the difference between a flexible multi-strand cable and a rigid single-strand cable?

This cable uses a multi-strand flexible conductor - multiple thin copper wires bundled together to form the cross-section. This makes it highly flexible and easy to pull through conduit bends and long runs without kinking. A rigid single-strand cable of the same cross-section uses one thick copper wire - stiffer and more difficult to route through bends. For residential and commercial wiring through PVC conduit with multiple bends, the flexible multi-strand construction is easier to install.
