FAQ
-
What does the 2.5mm² cross-section rating mean, and how do I know it's the right size for my circuit?
The mm² figure is the conductor's cross-sectional area, which determines how much current it can safely carry and its resistance over distance. 2.5mm² 5-core is sized for lighter three-phase motor and equipment connections — always confirm load current, cable run length, and voltage drop against the specific equipment's rating (or ask a licensed electrician) before selecting a cross-section.
-
Can I order an exact length, and how is the price calculated?
Yes — this cable is sold per metre, so you simply order the exact length your run requires and the price scales with quantity. There's no fixed reel size to buy into for small quantities.
-
What's the difference between this multicore Flexible Cable and RR Kabel's Single-Core Building Wire?
Building Wire is a solid single conductor per cable, designed for fixed conduit runs in walls and containment. This PVC Flexible Cable bundles multiple fine-stranded cores (here, 5) under one common sheath, so it flexes and is built for connecting equipment that's moved, vibrates, or needs a single supply lead rather than several separate conductors run in parallel.
-
Does this need to be installed by an electrician?
Yes — three-phase motor and equipment connections should be terminated and installed by a licensed electrician in line with UAE wiring regulations.
-
What does each of the 5 cores carry?
The five cores provide the three phase conductors (L1, L2, L3), a neutral, and an earth — a complete three-phase supply with protective earth in a single flexible cable.
