Types of Electric Wires -


There is often confusion regarding the selection of the right kind of wires for your application. Let’s review some of the most popular options available in the market.


FR PVC Insulated Wires: Flame retardant (FR) PVC insulated wires are designed to delay the spread of flames along the cable length and produce low smoke. These wires are commonly used for power connections and basic house wiring or lighting applications. They are produced using premium raw materials and advanced manufacturing processes that adhere to the latest industry standards. If you're looking for the best electric wire for home, FR PVC insulated wires are a reliable choice. When comparing prices, consider checking the electric wire price across different suppliers to find the best deal.


HR FR PVC Insulated Wires: Heat Resistant Fire Retardant (HRFR) PVC wires are both high-temperature resistant (HTR) and flame retardant (FR). These wires offer excellent protection for your family and appliances. Suitable for internal electrification and powering all electrically operated appliances like lights, fans, and white goods, HR FR PVC wires can withstand temperatures up to 85 degrees Celsius. Their improved electrical and mechanical performance at higher temperatures makes them a great option. If you want to buy wire in bulk for home or industrial use, these wires are ideal. The electric wire price per meter may vary depending on the quantity purchased.


FRLS PVC Insulated Wires: Flame Retardant Low Smoke (FRLS) PVC wires are used in areas where fire risks are higher. These wires not only offer flame retardant properties but also produce low smoke. They are commonly employed in public places with high foot traffic, such as malls and theatres, where safety is a priority. When choosing these wires, it’s important to compare the wiring wire price to ensure you're getting the best value for your needs.


ZHFR / ZHLS Wires: ZH stands for Zero Halogen, which means these wires emit very little smoke and no toxic chemicals when exposed to fire, unlike regular cables that can release dense, suffocating smoke. ZHFR (Zero Halogen Fire Retardant) and (ZHLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke) wires are excellent choices for public spaces like schools, theatres, air-conditioned apartments, and emergency lighting circuits. The minimal, non-toxic, and transparent smoke emitted can help with evacuation efforts in case of fire, making these wires a critical safety feature. You can refer to an electric cable wire price list to get more details on these wires.


High-Temperature Wires: Teflon-insulated cables are specifically designed to tolerate high temperatures and are commonly used in industrial and aerospace applications where heat resistance is essential. These wires often come with higher price points, so it’s important to compare the (electric wire price) for the specific type of high-temperature wire you need.


Twisted Pair Cables: Often used for data transmission and networking, twisted pair cables are commonly found in Ethernet connections. They are made from twisted pairs of copper wires that help reduce interference and improve signal quality. When shopping for these cables, make sure to check out the (electrical wire price list) for different brands and types to ensure you’re getting the best deal.


Things to keep in mind while choosing Wires: 


  • Wire Gauge (thickness) – this is decided based on the current carrying capacity of the wire measured in Amps.

  • Wire Length – this is the 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 insulation fights the 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.

Electric Wires FAQ'S

Q 1. What is the normal range or sizes generally available in Electric Wires?

It is typically offered in the following configurations: "1 Core OR Single Core, having cross section OR dimension from 0.75 sq.mm to 16 sq.mm." There are numerous colours available, including Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, and Black.

Q 2. Why are electric wires coated with PVC?

Electric wires are coated with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) to provide insulation, prevent electrical shocks, protect the wire from environmental factors, and enhance safety by preventing short circuits and damage from moisture or physical abrasion.

Q 3. What makes an electric current flow in a wire?

An electric current flows through a wire when a voltage difference (electrical potential difference) is applied across the wire, causing electrons to move from the negative to the positive terminal, typically driven by a power source like a battery or electrical outlet.

Q 4. Which electric wire is best for home?

The best electric wire for home use is typically FR PVC insulated wire or HR FR PVC insulated wire, as they offer safety features like flame retardance and durability, making them suitable for general house wiring, lighting, and power applications.

Q 5. Why are electric wires made up of copper?

Electric wires are made of copper because it is an excellent conductor of electricity, has high tensile strength, and is flexible, allowing for efficient transmission of electrical current with minimal energy loss.

Q 6. How are electric wires made?

Electric wires are made by drawing copper or aluminum through a series of molds or dies to reduce its diameter. The wire is then coated with an insulating material like PVC or rubber to prevent electrical shocks, followed by testing for durability and safety.

Q 7. How to check electrical wire continuity?

To check electrical wire continuity, use a multimeter set to the continuity mode. Touch the multimeter probes to both ends of the wire; if the meter beeps or shows a low resistance value, the wire is continuous and free of breaks.


Q 8. Which PVC insulation is to be used across various applications?

  • 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.

Q 9. What is the Voltage Grade of Insulation & what is the IS standard applicable?

Voltage grade is 1100 V OR 1.1 KV & applicable standard is IS:694 (2010).


Q 10. What features to look for in electric wires?

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