Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm Red Copper House Wire is one of the most widely used wire sizes in Indian residential and commercial electrical installations. With a current-carrying capacity suited for 15A circuits, this wire is the go-to choice for power socket outlets, heavy domestic appliances, and dedicated circuits for equipment such as washing machines, water heaters, and air coolers. The 200-metre coil format makes it practical for new construction projects, full-floor wiring, and bulk electrical work where continuity and consistency of wire quality are essential.
Belonging to the trusted Superex-FR series, this wire features FR PVC insulation that meets the flame-retardant requirements of IS 694:2010, the governing Indian Standard for PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V. The red colour coding makes it immediately identifiable as a phase conductor — Phase R in three-phase systems or the live wire in single-phase circuits — ensuring safe and compliant installation practices on every job site. Whether you are wiring a new apartment block, a commercial office space, or retrofitting a home, this wire provides the performance, safety, and compliance that Indian electrical projects demand.

Applications
- 15A Power Socket Outlets: Standard wiring for 15-ampere socket points in living rooms, kitchens, and utility areas where heavy appliances are plugged in.
- Water Heater Circuits (up to 2kW): Dedicated circuit wiring for bathroom and kitchen geysers, where a reliable phase conductor is critical for safe continuous operation.
- Washing Machine Outlets: Dedicated power point wiring for fully automatic and semi-automatic washing machines in residential laundry areas and utility rooms.
- Air Cooler Connections: Suitable for wiring power outlets for desert coolers and air coolers commonly used across homes in northern and central India.
- General Power Circuits in Residences: Sub-main and branch circuit wiring for power distribution panels in flats, independent houses, villas, and row houses.
- Commercial Office Wiring: Power socket circuits for workstations, printers, and office equipment in IT parks, commercial complexes, and retail outlets.
- Phase R Wiring in Three-Phase Systems: Used as the Phase R conductor in three-phase distribution boards, industrial panels, and commercial electrical installations per standard colour coding practice.
- Light Industrial Applications: Suitable for machinery connection points and power outlet circuits in small workshops, factories, and manufacturing units operating at standard voltages.
Why Choose RR Kabel Superex-FR?
- Flame-Retardant FR PVC Insulation: The Superex-FR series uses specially compounded FR PVC that resists the spread of flame along the cable, significantly reducing fire risk in concealed wiring installations within walls, conduits, and false ceilings.
- High-Purity Electrolytic Copper Conductor: RR Kabel uses electrolytic-grade copper with high electrical conductivity, ensuring minimal power loss, reduced heat generation, and long service life across the entire 200-metre coil.
- ISI Mark and IS 694:2010 Compliance: Every coil is manufactured under Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) licence and conforms to IS 694:2010, guaranteeing that the wire meets the dimensional, electrical, and mechanical requirements set by Indian standards for house wiring.
- Consistent Quality Across the Full Coil: RR Kabel’s manufacturing process ensures uniform conductor cross-section, insulation thickness, and colour throughout the coil, critical for long-run installations where splice-free wiring is preferred.
Colour Code Guide
In Indian electrical wiring practice, Red is universally recognised as the colour for the live or phase conductor. In single-phase systems, red identifies the phase (live) wire as distinct from black (neutral) and green or green-yellow (earth), in accordance with general wiring conventions followed across India. In three-phase systems, red designates Phase R, the first phase in an R-Y-B (Red-Yellow-Blue) three-phase distribution system. Using the correct colour-coded wire is not merely a convention — it is a critical safety practice that allows electricians, maintenance personnel, and inspectors to quickly identify conductors, reducing the risk of accidental contact with live circuits during installation, testing, and maintenance work.

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 wire is specifically rated for 15-ampere power circuits and is used for wiring power socket outlets, dedicated circuits for washing machines, water heaters up to 2kW, air coolers, and general power distribution points in residential and commercial buildings. It is one of the most commonly specified wire sizes in Indian home wiring projects because it safely handles the current demand of most heavy household appliances. Electricians and contractors rely on this size for all power point wiring beyond the lighter 1.5 sq mm used for lighting circuits.
What does the red colour of this wire indicate in Indian electrical wiring?
In Indian electrical installations, red is the standard colour for the phase or live conductor. In single-phase systems, the red wire carries the live current from the distribution board to the socket or appliance, as distinguished from the black neutral and green-yellow earth conductors. In three-phase systems, red specifically designates Phase R, the first phase in the R-Y-B (Red-Yellow-Blue) colour coding system used across residential, commercial, and industrial installations in India.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) mean in the Superex-FR series, and why is it important?
FR stands for Flame Retardant, which means the PVC insulation used on this wire is specially compounded to resist the propagation of flame along its length. In the event of a localised electrical fault or heat source, FR insulation slows down or stops the spread of fire through concealed wiring inside walls, conduit pipes, and false ceilings, giving occupants more time to respond. This is particularly important in multi-storey buildings, hospitals, schools, and densely wired commercial spaces where fire safety is a regulatory and practical priority.
How does IS 694:2010 compliance make this wire suitable for Indian installations?
IS 694:2010 is the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V, and it sets precise requirements for conductor cross-section, insulation thickness, electrical resistance, dielectric strength, and mechanical properties. RR Kabel Superex-FR wires are manufactured under BIS licence to this standard, meaning each coil has been produced and tested to meet the minimum safety and performance benchmarks mandated for house wiring in India. Using IS 694:2010 compliant wire is also a requirement for electrical works inspected by local electricity boards and under the National Electrical Code (NEC) India.
