Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 1 sq mm Green Copper House Wire is an essential safety conductor engineered for earthing and grounding applications in residential and commercial electrical installations across India. Supplied in a convenient 90-metre coil, this single-core wire features high-purity electrolytic copper conductors encased in Flame Retardant (FR) PVC insulation, rated for 1100V service. Its international-standard green colour coding makes it instantly identifiable on-site, reducing the risk of incorrect wiring and ensuring compliance with IS 3043 earthing requirements and IS 694:2010 specifications.
Beyond its primary role as an earthing conductor, the 1 sq mm cross-section makes this wire perfectly suited for low-load circuits such as LED lighting, doorbell wiring, signal circuits, and indicator lamp connections in homes, offices, retail outlets, and light commercial premises. The FR insulation grade ensures that in the event of an electrical fault or accidental ignition, the wire resists flame propagation and limits smoke emission, protecting occupants and property. Whether you are a licensed electrician carrying out a new installation, a contractor on a residential project, or a builder specifying materials for a housing complex, this wire delivers the safety assurance and electrical performance you need.

Why Choose RR Kabel Superex-FR?
- Flame Retardant Safety: The FR PVC insulation is formulated to self-extinguish and resist flame propagation, significantly reducing fire risk in concealed and surface wiring installations in accordance with IS 694:2010 FR category requirements.
- High-Purity Electrolytic Copper: RR Kabel uses 99.97{21d06cf633e1d74c16ec73ab43c3358f6d2908066060866fd407f242af8b6688} pure electrolytic grade copper conductors, ensuring low electrical resistance, superior conductivity, and long service life — critical for a reliable earth path that must carry fault current without failure.
- ISI Marked and IS 694:2010 Certified: Every coil carries the Bureau of Indian Standards ISI mark, assuring buyers that the wire has been independently tested and certified to meet Indian electrical safety standards — a non-negotiable requirement for approvals from electrical inspectors and local bodies.
- Consistent Metre Marking: The Superex-FR coil features printed metre markings along the length of the wire, allowing electricians to cut accurately on-site and verify that the full 90-metre coil length has been supplied — protecting both the contractor and the end customer.
Colour Code Guide
In Indian electrical wiring practice, green (or green with yellow stripe) is the universally recognised colour for the Protective Earth (PE) conductor. This convention is aligned with IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing) and mirrors international IEC colour coding standards adopted across India. The green earth wire must never be used as a live (phase) or neutral conductor under any circumstances. Its sole function is to provide a low-resistance path from exposed conductive metal parts — such as the bodies of appliances, switch boxes, distribution boards, and metal conduits — to the main earthing system, ensuring that in the event of an insulation fault, the fault current flows safely to earth and trips the protective device before anyone can receive an electric shock. Using the correct green wire for earthing also ensures that any future maintenance electrician can immediately identify the earth conductor without confusion, reducing the risk of dangerous miswiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RR Kabel Superex-FR 1 sq mm wire used for, and is it suitable for general house wiring?
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 1 sq mm wire is primarily used for low-load applications including safety earthing circuits, LED lighting, doorbell wiring, indicator lamp connections, and signal wiring in residential and commercial buildings. While it is a fully IS 694:2010 certified house wire, the 1 sq mm cross-section is specifically suited for circuits carrying small loads — for higher-load circuits such as power sockets, air conditioners, or geysers, larger conductor sizes (2.5 sq mm, 4 sq mm, or 6 sq mm) should be selected as per NEC India guidelines. For earthing applications, this wire is used as the protective earth conductor connecting metal enclosures and appliance bodies to the main earth terminal.
Why is the Green colour used for this wire, and can I use it as a phase or neutral conductor?
Green is the designated colour for the Protective Earth (PE) conductor in Indian electrical wiring, as defined under IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing) and aligned with IEC international colour coding standards adopted in India. The green wire must never be used as a phase (live) or neutral conductor — it is exclusively reserved for earthing purposes to ensure safe fault current dissipation and to allow any electrician to instantly identify the earth conductor during installation or future maintenance. Misusing the green wire as a phase or neutral conductor is a serious safety violation that can result in electric shock, equipment damage, and non-compliance with electrical inspection requirements.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) mean in RR Kabel Superex-FR, and why is it important?
FR stands for Flame Retardant, which means the PVC insulation compound used in the Superex-FR wire is specially formulated to resist ignition and self-extinguish when the source of flame is removed, thereby preventing the spread of fire along the wire in walls, conduits, and cable trays. This property is particularly important in concealed wiring inside walls and ceilings, where a smouldering wire could start a fire that goes undetected for a dangerous period. The FR rating of the Superex-FR series is tested and certified as per the requirements of IS 694:2010, making it compliant with Indian safety standards for residential and commercial electrical installations.
Is the RR Kabel Superex-FR 1 sq mm Green wire compliant with IS 694:2010, and what does this standard cover?
Yes, the RR Kabel Superex-FR 1 sq mm Green wire is fully compliant with IS 694:2010, which is the Bureau of Indian Standards specification titled ‘PVC Insulated Cables for Working Voltages up to and Including 1100V.’ This standard covers requirements for conductor resistance, insulation thickness, mechanical properties, voltage withstand capability, and flame retardant performance, ensuring that every ISI-marked coil meets a consistent and independently verified level of quality and safety. The ISI mark on each Superex-FR coil provides assurance to electricians, contractors, electrical inspectors, and end-users that the wire has been tested by an accredited BIS laboratory and is fit for use in Indian electrical installations.
