FAQ

• What does the 1.0mm² cross-section rating mean, and how do I pick the right size?
  1.0mm² is the copper conductor's cross-sectional area, which determines how much current it can safely carry. This size suits light-to-moderate earthed loads; for higher-current tools and appliances, 1.5mm² or 2.5mm² 3-core is usually more appropriate. Check the appliance rating or ask an electrician if unsure.
• Can I order an exact length, and how is the price calculated?
  Yes — sold per metre at a fixed per-metre rate, so you pay only for the length required. No roll minimum, and full coils are available for larger orders.
• What's the difference between this and RR Kabel's single-core Building Wire?
  Building Wire is a solid single conductor for fixed wiring in conduit. This 3-core PVC Flexible Cable is fine-stranded for real flexibility and includes its own earth core, designed for connecting portable or moveable equipment rather than permanent circuits.
• Why does this have 3 cores instead of 2?
  The third core is a protective earth conductor, required for Class I appliances and power tools with exposed metal parts. If your equipment is double-insulated (Class II) and doesn't need an earth, the 2-core version is sufficient.
• Does this need to be installed by an electrician?
  Connections into fixed circuits, distribution boards, or permanent equipment should be made by a licensed electrician per UAE wiring regulations. This is a trade/contractor-supply product, not intended for DIY household wiring.
