Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm Yellow Copper House Wire in a 200-metre coil is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern power circuits in Indian homes, offices, and commercial establishments. Carrying a 1100V rating and manufactured in strict conformance with IS 694:2010, this wire delivers superior current-carrying capacity suitable for 15A outlets, air cooler connections, and dedicated circuits for water heaters up to 2kW and washing machines. The FR PVC insulation provides an essential layer of fire safety, slowing flame propagation and reducing the risk of electrical fires in concealed conduit and open wiring installations alike.
The yellow colour of this wire holds particular significance in Indian electrical practice, making it a trusted choice for earth wire identification or phase differentiation in multi-circuit and industrial panel wiring applications. With a generous 200-metre coil length, this product is ideal for new construction projects, floor-level wiring in apartment complexes, and large-scale rewiring jobs where continuity of supply and material efficiency matter. Electricians and contractors across India rely on RR Kabel Superex-FR for its consistent conductor diameter, smooth insulation finish, and compliance with national safety standards.

Why Choose RR Kabel Superex-FR?
- Flame Retardant Safety: The FR PVC insulation is formulated to retard flame propagation, providing critical protection in concealed and surface wiring installations and reducing the risk of fire spread in the event of an electrical fault.
- High-Purity Copper Conductor: Manufactured using electrolytic-grade copper, the conductor ensures low electrical resistance, minimal heat generation, and maximum current-carrying efficiency throughout the life of the installation.
- ISI Mark and IS 694:2010 Compliance: Every coil of RR Kabel Superex-FR carries the ISI mark, certifying that it has been tested and approved in accordance with the Bureau of Indian Standards specification IS 694:2010 for PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V.
- Consistent Length and Quality: The 200-metre coil is measured and packed to exact length, ensuring there are no surprises on-site and allowing accurate material estimation for large wiring projects.
Colour Code Guide
In Indian wiring practice, as guided by IS 3043 and general NEC India conventions, the yellow colour serves a dual purpose. It is commonly used as an alternate earth wire identifier in installations where green or green-yellow striped wire is unavailable, and it also functions as a phase identification wire in multi-circuit and three-phase industrial panel wiring to distinguish between different live conductors. Using the correct colour code is essential for safe maintenance, fault identification, and compliance with inspection requirements. Electricians should always label and document the role of yellow wire at both ends of any run to prevent ambiguity during future maintenance or upgrades.

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 designed for 15A power socket outlets, dedicated circuits for air coolers, water heaters up to 2kW, and washing machine connections in residential and commercial buildings. Its higher current-carrying capacity compared to 1.5 sq mm wire makes it the appropriate choice wherever sustained loads from heavy appliances are expected. It is also widely used for general power circuits in offices, shops, and multi-unit residential projects.
What does the yellow colour indicate in Indian electrical wiring?
In Indian electrical wiring practice, yellow is used as an alternate earth wire identifier in installations where the standard green or green-yellow striped wire is not available, and it is also employed for phase identification in multi-circuit or three-phase industrial panel wiring. This colour coding helps electricians distinguish between different conductors during installation, testing, and future maintenance. It is important to clearly label both ends of a yellow wire run to document its designated function and avoid confusion during subsequent inspections or modifications.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) mean and why is it important?
FR stands for Flame Retardant, which means the PVC insulation used on this wire is specially formulated to resist the spread of fire along the cable in the event of an electrical fault or short circuit. Unlike standard PVC insulation, FR PVC self-extinguishes when the source of ignition is removed, significantly reducing the risk of fire propagation within walls, conduits, and cable trays. This makes RR Kabel Superex-FR a safer choice for concealed wiring in homes, apartments, and commercial buildings where fire safety is a critical concern.
Is this wire compliant with IS 694:2010 and what does that mean for buyers?
Yes, the RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm wire is manufactured in full compliance with IS 694:2010, the Bureau of Indian Standards specification governing PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V. Compliance with this standard means the wire has been tested for conductor resistance, insulation integrity, voltage withstand, and flame retardancy, and carries the ISI mark as proof of certification. For buyers, this guarantees that the product meets nationally recognised safety and performance benchmarks, making it acceptable for use in installations subject to statutory inspection and approval.
