FAQs
What is the maximum current this cable can handle?
The 0.75mm² conductor size is generally suitable for lower to moderate power domestic applications. For specific current ratings, consult electrical guidelines or a qualified electrician, as it depends on installation factors.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
This cable is designed for domestic wiring applications and is not typically rated for outdoor exposure unless specifically protected and installed in accordance with outdoor wiring regulations.
What does '3-core' mean?
A 3-core cable contains three insulated conductors: typically live, neutral, and earth (ground). This is essential for appliances that require earthing for safety.
How should I cut this cable?
Use a sharp cable cutter or a stripping tool designed for electrical cables to ensure a clean cut without damaging the internal conductors.
Is this cable suitable for mains power connection?
Yes, this cable is intended for domestic wiring applications and powering domestic appliances, which includes connection to mains power when installed correctly.
What is the benefit of the white colour?
The white colour is primarily aesthetic, allowing the cable to blend more discreetly with white walls, ceilings, or fixtures, providing a cleaner finish in visible installations.
Troubleshooting
Cable not conducting power
Check all connections at both ends for security. Ensure the cable is not damaged internally. Verify that the power source is active and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Appliance is not earthed (no earth connection)
Verify that the third (green/yellow) core is correctly terminated at both the appliance and the power source. Check for continuity of the earth wire using a multimeter.
Cable feels excessively warm during use
This may indicate the cable is overloaded. Disconnect the appliance immediately and assess if the current draw exceeds the cable's capacity (0.75mm²). Consult an electrician to determine if a higher-rated cable is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This cable is intended for use in domestic wiring applications. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting any connections. The cable must be stripped and terminated according to local electrical regulations and best practices. It is recommended that installation is performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard domestic electrical systems and appliances that require a 3-pin plug or hardwired connection, provided the power requirements do not exceed the cable's rating. Ensure the cable's conductor size (0.75mm²) is appropriate for the intended load.
Care: Keep the cable away from excessive heat, sharp objects, and chemicals. Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of damage, such as cuts or fraying. If damage is found, the cable should be replaced immediately by a qualified professional.
