FAQs

What is the primary use for this 1.5 mm cable?

This cable is primarily used for indoor wiring applications, such as lighting circuits and power sockets, when installed within electrical conduit.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

No, this cable is designed and certified for indoor wiring applications only.

Can I order this cable in a length other than the standard sizes?

Yes, the product description states that custom sized lengths are available.

What does BASEC Approved mean?

BASEC (British Approvals Service for Cables) is an independent certification body that tests and approves cables to ensure they meet rigorous British and international standards for safety and performance.

What are the available colors, and why are they important?

The cable is available in Blue, Brown, and Yellow/Green. These colors are standard for electrical wiring to help identify different circuits (e.g., Blue for lighting, Brown for power, Yellow/Green for earth).

What is the conductor size of this cable?

The conductor size is 1.5 mm².

Can this cable be used without conduit?

This cable is specifically designed as a single core cable for use within conduit. It is not suitable for direct burial or exposed surface wiring without appropriate protection.

Troubleshooting

Cable is difficult to pull through conduit

Ensure the conduit is smooth internally and free of debris. Use a cable lubricant specifically designed for electrical installations. Check that the conduit path is not too tightly bent.

Conductor appears damaged upon receipt

Inspect the cable carefully. If any damage to the conductor or insulation is found, do not use the cable. Contact the supplier for a replacement.

Incorrect length received

Double-check your order and the received product label. If there is a discrepancy, contact the supplier with your order details.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry and BASEC Approved for safety and reliability.
  • Available in custom lengths to suit project needs and reduce waste.
  • Color-coded options aid in proper electrical installation.
  • Durable PVC insulation protects the single core conductor.

Cons

  • Primarily intended for indoor wiring applications.
  • Single core design means it's not a complete cable assembly on its own.
  • Requires installation within a conduit system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This cable is designed to be pulled through electrical conduit. Ensure the conduit is correctly installed and free of sharp edges that could damage the cable's insulation. Use appropriate glanding and termination techniques according to electrical wiring regulations. The 1.5 mm conductor is suitable for circuits where this current carrying capacity is specified.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard electrical conduit systems and junction boxes. It is designed for use with electrical systems operating within its specified voltage and current ratings. Always ensure compatibility with other components in your electrical circuit, such as breakers, connectors, and outlets.

Care: Once installed within conduit, this cable requires minimal direct care. Periodically, ensure the conduit system remains intact and sealed to protect the cable from environmental factors. Avoid exposing the cable directly to sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can degrade the PVC insulation over time.
