Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm Green Copper House Wire is engineered for critical earthing and grounding circuits in residential, commercial, and industrial installations. With its distinctive green insulation colour, this wire is instantly identifiable on site as the designated earth conductor, ensuring compliance with IS 3043 and reducing the risk of wiring errors during installation. The 90-metre coil length is well suited to medium-scale wiring projects, minimising joints and delivering a continuous, reliable earth path throughout the building.
Built on RR Kabel’s trusted Superex-FR platform, this wire features high-purity electrolytic copper conductors for maximum conductivity and Flame Retardant (FR) PVC insulation that resists the spread of fire in the event of an electrical fault. Rated at 1100V and conforming to IS 694:2010, it is appropriate not only for earthing runs but also for 15A power socket circuits, air cooler connections, washing machine outlets, and water heater circuits up to 2kW where a 2.5 sq mm conductor is specified. Whether you are wiring a new apartment block, a commercial office, or a standalone home, this wire delivers the safety and durability that modern Indian electrical installations demand.

Why Choose RR Kabel Superex-FR?
- Flame Retardant Safety: FR PVC insulation is formulated to self-extinguish and limit flame propagation, reducing fire risk in concealed conduit and open wiring systems.
- High-Purity Copper Conductor: Electrolytic copper provides superior electrical conductivity, lower resistive losses, and excellent mechanical flexibility for easy routing through conduits and ducts.
- ISI Mark and IS 694:2010 Compliance: Every coil carries the Bureau of Indian Standards ISI mark, assuring you of tested quality that meets the stringent requirements of India’s national wiring standard.
- Consistent Coil Length: Factory-sealed 90-metre coils are precisely measured, ensuring accurate material estimation and reducing wastage on site.
Colour Code Guide
In Indian wiring practice, green (or green with a yellow stripe) is the universally recognised colour for the Earth or Protective Earth (PE) conductor, as mandated by IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing) and aligned with IEC colour coding conventions adopted across India. The earth wire connects all exposed metal parts — including switch box bodies, conduit systems, appliance chassis, and distribution board enclosures — to the main earthing system, providing a low-resistance fault current path that trips the protective device and protects users from electric shock. Using green wire exclusively for earthing purposes on every project ensures that any electrician or inspector can identify the earth conductor at a glance, making future maintenance and fault-finding significantly safer and faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm wire used for in home wiring?
The 2.5 sq mm conductor size is rated for circuits carrying up to 15A–20A loads, making it the standard choice for 15A power socket outlets, dedicated washing machine and air cooler connections, water heater circuits up to 2kW, and general power circuits throughout residential and commercial buildings. In the green colour variant, it is most commonly used as the earth or protective earth conductor running alongside the phase and neutral wires to all socket outlets, appliances, and metal enclosures.
Why is the earth wire green in colour as per Indian wiring standards?
IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing) and IS 694:2010 both specify green — or green with a yellow stripe — as the designated colour for the earth or protective earth (PE) conductor in Indian electrical installations, in line with IEC international colour coding conventions. This colour coding ensures that the earth wire is immediately identifiable by any electrician, inspector, or maintenance technician, preventing dangerous mix-ups between the earth, neutral, and phase conductors. Using a dedicated green wire for all earthing runs on your project is both a regulatory requirement and a fundamental safety practice.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) mean in RR Kabel Superex-FR, and why does it matter?
FR stands for Flame Retardant — a property of the PVC insulation compound that causes the material to self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, rather than continuing to burn and spreading fire along the cable route. In concealed wiring within walls, conduits, or false ceilings, a non-FR wire can act as a pathway for fire to travel undetected through a building; FR-rated insulation significantly reduces this risk. RR Kabel Superex-FR wires are tested to flame retardancy requirements specified under IS 694:2010, giving homeowners, contractors, and safety auditors confidence in the fire safety performance of the installation.
Is the RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm wire compliant with IS 694:2010?
Yes, the RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm house wire is manufactured and tested in full compliance with IS 694:2010, which is the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for PVC insulated cables and wires for electrical installations in India. Compliance with IS 694:2010 covers conductor resistance, insulation thickness, voltage withstand, and flame retardancy, among other parameters. Every coil bears the ISI certification mark, which confirms third-party testing and ongoing surveillance by BIS-accredited laboratories.
