FAQs
What is the maximum voltage this wire can handle?
The Lapp SC 2.1 UL installation wire is rated for a nominal voltage of 750V.
What does 'Class 5 flexible' conductor mean?
It means the conductor is made up of many thin strands of copper, making it flexible and easier to bend during installation compared to solid-core wire.
Can this wire be used for outdoor applications?
While the operating temperature range is wide, the PVC insulation is not typically rated for prolonged direct UV exposure. It is best suited for indoor fixed installations or protected outdoor areas.
What is the outer diameter of this wire?
The outer diameter of this wire is approximately 2.9mm.
Is this wire suitable for high-current applications?
With a 0.75 mm² cross-section, this wire is suitable for lower to moderate current loads. Always consult electrical codes and calculate the required wire gauge based on the specific application's current and voltage requirements.
What are the available colors for this wire series?
This series is available in various colors including Orange, Grey, White, Red, Purple, Blue, and Yellow.
Troubleshooting
Wire is difficult to strip cleanly
Use a wire stripper specifically designed for fine-stranded wire or adjust the stripper setting to a finer gauge. Ensure the blade is sharp.
Poor connection at terminal
Ensure the conductor is properly twisted and secured. If using crimp terminals, ensure the correct size and type of terminal and crimping tool are used for stranded wire.
Wire feels stiff despite being 'flexible'
Class 5 conductors are flexible for routing, but not designed for repeated flexing like a highly stranded power cord. Ensure the installation does not require constant movement of the wire.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly flexible for easy installation.
- Durable PVC insulation offers good protection.
- Suitable for higher voltage applications up to 750V.
- Wide operating temperature range for various environments.
- Clear yellow color coding aids in identification.
Cons
- 0.75 mm² cross-section may not be sufficient for high-current applications.
- PVC insulation might not be suitable for extreme chemical exposure.
- Specific UL rating implies adherence to particular North American standards.
- Requires careful handling to avoid damage to the conductor during stripping.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wire is stripped carefully to avoid damaging the conductor strands. Use appropriate tools for terminating the wire, such as crimp terminals or screw terminals designed for fine-stranded conductors.
Compatibility: This wire is designed for fixed installation and is compliant with UL standards. It is compatible with standard electrical connectors and termination methods suitable for 0.75 mm² conductors and 750V applications. Verify compatibility with local electrical codes and regulations before installation.
Care: Keep the wire away from sharp objects, excessive heat, and corrosive chemicals. While the PVC insulation offers good protection, avoid prolonged exposure to UV light if installed in direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
