FAQs
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature for this wire?
The insulation is rated for +90°C, and the conductor can withstand +90°C continuously. For specific standards, UL lists it for 90°C, while BS6231 allows 105°C for 15,000 hours.
Can this wire be used for outdoor applications?
While it has good resistance to oils and is flame retardant, its suitability for direct outdoor exposure depends on environmental factors like UV radiation and extreme temperatures. Consult relevant standards and consider additional protection if needed.
What does 'multi-market certification' mean for me?
It means the wire meets the safety and performance standards for multiple regions (Europe, USA, Canada), allowing you to use the same product across different international markets without needing separate inventory for each region.
What is the conductor material?
The conductor is made of tinned copper, which offers good conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
Is this wire suitable for flexible or mobile applications?
No, this wire is designed for fixed installations. It is not intended for applications requiring constant flexing or movement.
What is the AWG equivalent for the 1.5mm² size?
The 1.5mm² size is equivalent to approximately 15 AWG.
What accessories are recommended for installation?
Lapp recommends accessories like SKINTOP CLICK cable glands for secure cable entry into enclosures, and standard electrical terminals suitable for 1.5mm² wire.
Troubleshooting
Wire shows signs of overheating.
Verify the current load does not exceed the wire's capacity for the ambient temperature. Check for potential short circuits or improper connections causing resistance. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Difficulty stripping insulation.
Use a high-quality wire stripper designed for the specific gauge. Ensure the blade is sharp to avoid nicking the conductor. Adjust the stripper settings if necessary.
Poor connection at termination point.
Ensure the terminal is correctly sized for the 1.5mm² wire. Verify the conductor is fully inserted and the terminal is securely fastened. Check for any debris or corrosion on the conductor or terminal.
Wire is not flexible enough for routing.
Ensure installation is within the recommended temperature range. For very cold conditions, allowing the wire to warm up indoors before installation may help. Avoid making extremely tight bends.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Global certification simplifies international projects and inventory.
- Durable PVC insulation and tinned copper conductor offer reliability.
- High temperature and voltage ratings accommodate demanding applications.
- Oil resistance and flame retardancy enhance safety in industrial settings.
- Versatile for control cabinets, field wiring, and internal device wiring.
Cons
- Maximum operating temperature of +70°C for the cable itself (though insulation can handle higher for limited periods), which might be a limitation in very high-heat environments.
- Requires proper termination and installation practices to ensure safety and compliance.
- Specific 1.5mm² gauge may not be suitable for all power requirements.
- Brown color might not be ideal for all wiring color-coding schemes if not used in conjunction with other color wires.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This single-core wire is designed for fixed installations. Ensure proper stripping of the PVC insulation before termination. Use appropriate crimp terminals, screw terminals, or other connection methods suitable for 1.5mm² wire gauge. For installation in control cabinets, it can be routed through trunking or conduits.
Compatibility: The wire is compatible with standard electrical connectors, terminals, and cable glands designed for 1.5mm² (15 AWG) conductors. Lapp recommends using their SKINTOP CLICK cable glands for secure and efficient cable entry into enclosures, with specific models available for this wire diameter range (e.g., M16, M20 glands).
Care: Keep the wire clean and free from excessive dirt or oil build-up, though the PVC insulation offers good resistance. Avoid sharp bends or kinks during installation, which can damage the conductor or insulation. Ensure the wire is protected from physical abrasion. Regular inspection of terminations is recommended as part of routine maintenance.
