Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 1.5 sq mm Green Copper House Wire is engineered specifically for safety earthing applications in modern Indian electrical installations. Supplied in a convenient 200-metre coil, this single-core wire features high-conductivity electrolytic copper as the conductor and is sheathed in Flame Retardant (FR) PVC insulation, offering both electrical safety and resistance to fire propagation. Its green colour coding makes it instantly recognisable on-site, reducing the risk of incorrect connections and ensuring compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC India) and IS 3043 earthing standards.
Designed for professional electricians, electrical contractors, builders, and facility managers, this wire is the go-to choice wherever a dedicated earth continuity conductor is required. Whether you are wiring a new residential apartment, a commercial office fit-out, or an industrial facility, the Superex-FR series delivers consistent performance across the length of the coil. The 200-metre pack length is particularly suited to large-scale projects where running long earth loops across distribution boards, sub-panels, and individual circuits demands a reliable, uninterrupted conductor with uniform cross-section throughout.

Applications
- Safety Earthing for Ceiling Fan Circuits: Connects the metal body and canopy of ceiling fans to the earth terminal, preventing electric shock in case of insulation failure.
- Earth Conductor for Tube Light and Batten Fittings: Provides mandatory earth continuity for metal-bodied fluorescent and LED batten fixtures in homes, offices, and retail shops.
- 5A Socket Outlet Earth Pin Wiring: Used as the earth wire in standard 5A socket outlet circuits, ensuring the earth pin of every socket is reliably connected to the main earth.
- Exhaust Fan Body Earthing: Connects the metal housing of exhaust fans installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas to the protective earth terminal.
- Distribution Board and Sub-Panel Earthing: Forms the earth bar connections within MCB distribution boards and sub-panels across residential and commercial buildings.
- Metal Conduit and Trunking Earthing: Used to bond and earth metallic conduit systems, cable trays, and trunking runs as required by IS 3043 and NEC India guidelines.
- Appliance and Equipment Body Bonding: Connects the exposed metal enclosures of electrical appliances, control panels, and machinery to the common earth point in industrial and commercial settings.
- General Protective Earth (PE) Conductor: Serves as the dedicated green earth wire in all general lighting and power circuits wherever a protective earth conductor is specified.
Why Choose RR Kabel Superex-FR?
- ISI Mark and IS 694:2010 Compliance: Every metre of Superex-FR wire is manufactured to IS 694:2010 and carries the ISI certification mark, giving electricians, contractors, and site engineers confidence that the wire meets India’s national quality and safety standards.
- Flame Retardant FR PVC Insulation: The FR-grade PVC insulation resists the spread of flame along the wire, significantly reducing fire hazard in concealed wiring installations inside walls, conduits, and false ceilings — a critical safety feature for any earthing conductor.
- High-Conductivity Electrolytic Copper Conductor: The conductor is made from 99.9{21d06cf633e1d74c16ec73ab43c3358f6d2908066060866fd407f242af8b6688} pure electrolytic copper, ensuring low resistance, excellent current-carrying capacity, and long-term performance without oxidation or degradation over the wire’s service life.
- Consistent Coil Length and Accurate Metering: RR Kabel’s manufacturing quality control ensures that each 200-metre coil delivers the full stated length, allowing accurate material estimation and reducing wastage on large wiring projects.
Colour Code Guide
In Indian electrical wiring practice, green (or green with a yellow stripe) is the universally recognised colour for the Earth or Protective Earth (PE) conductor. This convention is mandated by IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing) and is consistent with NEC India and IEC wiring colour standards adopted across the country. The green earth wire must never be used for any live, neutral, or switching purpose. Its sole function is to provide a low-resistance fault current path from the metal bodies and enclosures of all electrical equipment back to the main earth electrode, protecting users from electric shock in the event of an insulation fault. Using a correctly colour-coded green wire ensures that any electrician working on the installation at a later date can immediately identify the earth conductor, reducing the risk of dangerous miswiring during maintenance or upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1.5 sq mm house wire typically used for in Indian homes and offices?
A 1.5 sq mm copper wire is the standard conductor size for light-duty electrical circuits in Indian residential and commercial buildings. It is commonly used for ceiling fan circuits, tube light and LED lighting circuits, exhaust fan wiring, and 5A socket outlet circuits where the connected load is relatively low. It is also the prescribed size for the earth continuity conductor in many standard wiring layouts, making the green 1.5 sq mm wire particularly important for safety earthing across all these circuits.
Why is green colour used for earth wires in Indian electrical wiring?
Green (or green with a yellow stripe) is the designated colour for the Protective Earth (PE) or earth conductor as per IS 3043 — India’s standard code of practice for earthing — and is also consistent with IEC and NEC India colour coding conventions. Using this specific colour ensures that any electrician or technician working on an installation can instantly identify the earth wire, preventing accidental misconnection with live or neutral conductors. The earth wire connects all metal enclosures, appliance bodies, and switch boxes to the main earth electrode, providing critical protection against electric shock.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) mean in RR Kabel Superex-FR, and why does it matter?
FR stands for Flame Retardant, which means the PVC insulation on the wire is specially compounded to resist the propagation of flame along its length in the event of a fire or electrical fault. Unlike standard PVC insulation, FR PVC will self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, significantly limiting the spread of fire through concealed wiring inside walls, conduits, and false ceilings. This is especially important for earth wires, which run throughout the entire installation and could otherwise act as a continuous fire path if standard-grade insulation were used.
Is RR Kabel Superex-FR 1.5 sq mm Green Wire compliant with IS 694:2010?
Yes, the RR Kabel Superex-FR 1.5 sq mm Green Copper House Wire is manufactured in full compliance with IS 694:2010, which is the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specification for PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V. The wire carries the ISI certification mark, confirming it has been tested and verified against all requirements of the standard, including conductor resistance, insulation thickness, and flame retardancy. Specifying IS 694:2010 compliant wire is mandatory on most regulated building, commercial, and government electrical projects in India.
