FAQ
-
What does the 1.5mm² cross-section rating mean, and is it the right size?
The cross-section is the copper conductor's area in square millimetres, which determines how much current it can safely carry. 1.5mm² is one of the most common panel wiring sizes, suited to general control and DB internal wiring circuits — always size the conductor to the connected load and the protective device rating, and check with your panel builder if unsure.
-
Can I order an exact length, and how is the price calculated?
Yes — this wire is sold per metre, so you can order any length you need rather than a fixed drum quantity. The listed price is per metre; set the quantity to the number of metres required at checkout.
-
What's the difference between Flexible Panel Wire and RR Kabel's Single-Core Building Wire?
Flexible Panel Wire uses a fine, multi-strand copper conductor for routing inside control panels and enclosures where wires are frequently bent, formed, and ferruled. RR Kabel's Building Wire range uses a solid/coarser-stranded conductor for fixed wall and conduit installation in general building wiring, and isn't designed for the tight bends and repeated flexing found inside a panel.
-
Does this need to be installed by an electrician?
Panel and control wiring of this type is typically installed by a qualified panel builder or licensed electrician as part of a switchboard, DB, or control panel build, in line with UAE wiring practice — it isn't intended as a DIY connection.
-
Why does the Yellow/Green colour matter?
Yellow/Green striped insulation is the internationally recognised colour code for protective earth (PE) conductors. Using the dedicated Yellow/Green variant for earth/bonding connections — rather than a generic colour — keeps panel wiring compliant with standard colour-coding practice and easy to identify during maintenance.
