Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm Green Copper House Wire is purpose-built for safety earthing circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations. With a 200-metre coil, this wire offers ample length for large-scale projects, reducing jointing and ensuring continuous earth conductivity throughout the installation. The green colour coding is the universally recognised standard in Indian wiring practice, making identification of earthing conductors immediate and error-free on site.
Manufactured with high-conductivity electrolytic copper and sheathed in Flame Retardant (FR) PVC insulation, this wire delivers both electrical safety and fire safety in a single product. The 2.5 sq mm conductor size is well suited for earthing runs connected to 15A socket outlets, water heaters, washing machines, air coolers, and general power circuits operating up to 2kW. Whether you are a seasoned electrical contractor wiring a housing project or a homeowner undertaking a kitchen or bathroom renovation, this wire provides the earth fault protection that modern Indian electrical codes demand.

- Earthing of metal switch boxes, distribution boards, and consumer unit enclosures
- General power circuit earthing in commercial establishments, shops, and office fit-outs
- Bonding of metallic pipework, conduit systems, and structural steelwork in buildings
- Earth runs in light industrial workshops and small manufacturing units with single-phase equipment
Why Choose RR Kabel Superex-FR?
- Flame Retardant Safety: The FR PVC insulation self-extinguishes when the ignition source is removed, significantly reducing the risk of fire spread along wiring runs in concealed conduit or open surface installations.
- ISI Marked and IS 694:2010 Certified: Every metre of Superex-FR wire is manufactured in compliance with IS 694:2010, India’s primary standard for PVC insulated cables and flexible cords, giving you assurance of quality that meets Bureau of Indian Standards requirements.
- High-Purity Electrolytic Copper Conductor: The use of electrolytic-grade copper ensures superior electrical conductivity, minimal resistive losses, and reliable fault current carrying capacity — critical qualities for an earth conductor that must operate decisively during a fault event.
- Consistent Insulation Thickness: Uniform FR PVC insulation throughout the 200-metre coil ensures mechanical protection, moisture resistance, and long service life even in concealed wiring within walls, floors, and ceilings.
Colour Code Guide
In Indian electrical wiring practice, green (or green-and-yellow) is the designated colour for the Earth or Protective Earth (PE) conductor, as specified under IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing) and aligned with IEC colour coding conventions adopted across Indian standards. The earth conductor must never be used as a neutral or phase wire under any circumstances. Using a dedicated green wire for all earthing connections ensures that electricians, inspectors, and maintenance personnel can instantly identify the protective earth path without ambiguity, reducing the risk of dangerous miswiring during installation, maintenance, or future modifications to the circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm wire used for?
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm wire is primarily used for 15A power socket outlet circuits, water heater connections up to 2kW, washing machine outlets, air cooler circuits, and general power circuits in residential and commercial buildings. In its green colour variant, it is specifically deployed as the safety earthing conductor, connecting all metal enclosures, appliance bodies, and electrical panels to the earth electrode system. It is suitable for both concealed conduit wiring and surface wiring installations.
Why is green colour used for this wire and what does it signify in Indian wiring?
Green is the internationally recognised and IS 3043-aligned colour code for the Earth or Protective Earth (PE) conductor in Indian electrical installations. This colour convention ensures that any electrician or inspector working on the installation can immediately distinguish the earthing wire from the phase (red) and neutral (black or blue) conductors, preventing dangerous miswiring. Using a dedicated green earth wire is not merely a best practice — in properly designed and inspected installations it is a mandatory requirement for safety compliance.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) mean and why is it important for house wiring?
FR stands for Flame Retardant, which means the PVC insulation of the wire is specially compounded to resist the propagation of flame. If the wire is exposed to a fire source, the FR insulation will self-extinguish once the ignition source is removed, preventing the fire from spreading along the wiring run inside walls, conduits, or cable trays. This is particularly important in Indian residential construction where wiring is often concealed within walls for decades, and FR insulation provides an added layer of passive fire protection for occupants and property.
Is the RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm wire compliant with IS 694:2010?
Yes, the RR Kabel Superex-FR range is manufactured in compliance with IS 694:2010, which is the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for PVC insulated cables and flexible cords for voltages up to and including 1100V. Compliance with IS 694:2010 ensures the wire meets defined requirements for conductor resistance, insulation thickness, voltage withstand, and flame retardancy. The ISI mark on the product is your assurance that the wire has been tested and certified against this standard.
