RR Kabel 16mm² 5-Core PVC Flexible Cable

RR PVC Flexible Cable 16mm² 5-Core

The RR PVC Flexible Cable 16mm² 5-Core is a large-section five-wire flexible cable for the highest-current three-phase portable connections in UAE industrial projects. Its 16mm² conductors are suited for connecting large industrial motors, compressors, and high-power plant requiring full three-phase, neutral, and earth supply in a single flexible cable. Sold per metre.

FAQ

• What does the 16mm² cross-section rating mean, and how do I know it's the right size for my circuit?
  The mm² figure is the conductor's cross-sectional area, which determines how much current it can safely carry over a given run length. 16mm² 5-core is a large-section flexible cable for very high-current three-phase loads such as large motors and compressors — always verify load current, run length, and voltage drop against the equipment's nameplate rating (or ask a licensed electrician) before selecting a cross-section this size.
• Can I order an exact length, and how is the price calculated?
  Yes — this cable is sold per metre, so you order the exact length your run requires and the price scales with quantity, even at this large cross-section.
• What's the difference between this multicore Flexible Cable and RR Kabel's Single-Core Building Wire?
  Building Wire is a solid single conductor per cable, made for fixed conduit runs in walls and containment. This PVC Flexible Cable bundles multiple fine-stranded cores (here, 5) under one common sheath so it can flex, making it suited to connecting large equipment where routing several separate single-core conductors isn't practical.
• Does this need to be installed by an electrician?
  Yes — at this cross-section it's feeding significant three-phase loads, so termination and installation should be carried out by a licensed electrician per UAE wiring regulations.
• What does each of the 5 cores carry?
  The five cores provide the three phase conductors (L1, L2, L3), a neutral, and an earth — a complete three-phase supply with protective earth in a single heavy-duty flexible cable.
