Electric Wire

• Wire Gauge (thickness) –

  this is decided basis the current carrying capacity of the wire measured in Amps.

• Wire Length –

  this is decided basis the gauge selected and application. Longer the length of the wire, higher is the voltage loss through heat/resistance. Voltage drop can be compensated by selecting higher gauge wire further increasing the amperage capacity.

• Quality of conductor –

  Look for wires that have Copper purity hologram on the pack.

• Quality of insulation –

  Copper heats up when electricity passes through it. This may cause melting of insulation leading to short circuit or fire. Good quality of insulation fights spread of fire and toxic smoke.

• Check for quality marks –

  Check for ISI mark, CE mark, REACH and RoHS complaint (environment friendly), has minimum of HR FR insulation.
• Flexibility - Take into account the wire's flexibility, particularly if it must fit through small openings or if the application requires it.
• Brand Image - Select cables from reliable, well-known companies. Reputable brands are more likely to create dependable, high-quality goods.
• Considering Costs - Put quality and safety above cost reductions, even though it is a factor. Purchasing premium wires can guarantee the longevity of your electrical system and avert problems in the future.

• FR = Flame Retardant, HR FR = Heat Resistance Flame Retardant , FR LS = Flame Retardant Low Smoke etc. The user needs to match the application with the properties available in various types of electric wires to select the correct type of PVC insulation.
• The different types of PVC insulations are made keeping in mind to reduce instances of fire. If fire breaks out, it focuses on minimising the damage due to the fire. They reduce smoke production and fire spread.

• Current carrying capacity.
• Maximum conductor resistance.
• Nominal thickness of insulation.
• Approx. overall diameter.
• Purity of copper used in the conductor.
