2 Core Copper Wire - 4mm | 500 Feet PVC 100% Pure Copper Guarantee Full Gauge
Key Features:
- Conductor Material: Typically made of copper (good conductivity) or sometimes aluminum.
- Core Size: Each core has a cross-sectional area of 4mm², suitable for carrying moderate currents.
- Insulation: PVC insulation provides electrical safety, durability, and heat resistance up to a specific temperature range.
-
Configuration: Contains two cores, which can be:
- Live (Phase) and Neutral for single-phase connections.
- Positive and Negative for DC connections.
- Outer Sheath: Additional PVC coating to protect against environmental damage (optional in some models).
Uses:
- Solar Panel Installations: Often used to connect panels to inverters or batteries.
- Lighting and Small Appliances: Suitable for circuits with moderate power requirements.
- General Electrical Wiring: Used in homes, offices, and industrial settings for wiring circuits that require a robust cable.
- Underground Cabling: If armored, can be used for buried installations.
Current-Carrying Capacity:
The maximum current a 4mm² cable can carry depends on installation conditions (e.g., air vs. conduit vs. underground) and standards, but it typically ranges between 25-37 amps.
Considerations:
- Voltage Rating: Ensure the cable is rated for the system voltage.
- Environment: Use armored or UV-resistant variants for outdoor or rough conditions.
-
Compliance: Should meet local electrical standards like IEC or BS.
