Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm Yellow Copper House Wire is engineered for demanding power circuit applications where safety, conductivity, and flame retardance are non-negotiable. Manufactured under the Superex-FR series, this single-core wire features a high-purity electrolytic copper conductor that ensures minimal resistive losses and consistent current carrying capacity, making it the go-to choice for 15A power socket outlets, water heater circuits, washing machine connections, and air cooler wiring in both residential and light commercial settings. The 90-metre coil length is sized for complete room wiring projects or mid-scale commercial fit-outs, reducing joint requirements and improving installation integrity.
The FR PVC insulation used in this wire is specially formulated to self-extinguish in the event of a flame, preventing fire from spreading along the cable run — a critical safety feature in concealed conduit wiring within walls, ceilings, and under-floor ducts. Rated at 1100V, the Superex-FR 2.5 sq mm wire comfortably handles the voltage stresses encountered in Indian residential wiring systems. The yellow colour coding plays an important role in organised wiring: it is widely used to identify the earth conductor (alternate earth colour) or for phase differentiation in multi-circuit distribution boards and industrial panel wiring, helping electricians maintain clear, safe circuit identification throughout the installation lifecycle.

- Light Commercial Installations: Suited for power socket wiring in offices, retail outlets, and commercial establishments with moderate electrical loads.
- Earth Conductor Wiring: Deployed as an alternate earth wire in distribution boards and sub-panels where colour-coded earth identification is required per IS 3043 guidelines.
- Industrial Panel Wiring and Phase Identification: Used in control panels and distribution boards for phase differentiation and circuit identification in multi-circuit industrial installations.
Why Choose RR Kabel Superex-FR?
- Flame Retardant Safety: The FR PVC insulation is formulated to self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, significantly reducing the risk of fire propagation in concealed wiring systems — a vital safety measure for Indian residential and commercial buildings.
- High-Purity Copper Conductor: The electrolytic copper conductor offers excellent electrical conductivity, low resistance, and superior current carrying capacity, ensuring energy efficiency and reduced heat generation over the entire service life of the installation.
- ISI Mark and IS 694:2010 Compliance: Every coil of RR Kabel Superex-FR carries the ISI certification mark under IS 694:2010, guaranteeing that the product meets the Bureau of Indian Standards quality and safety requirements for PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V.
- Consistent Coil Length and Build Quality: Each 90-metre coil is manufactured and verified for accurate length, uniform insulation thickness, and consistent conductor diameter, giving electricians and contractors confidence in material planning and installation quality.
Colour Code Guide
In Indian electrical wiring practice, yellow is recognised as an alternate earth wire colour as well as a phase identification colour in multi-circuit installations. Under IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing) and general Indian wiring conventions, green or green-with-yellow stripe is the primary earth colour; however, yellow is commonly adopted as an alternate earth identifier in installations where strict colour segregation is required across multiple circuits. In industrial panel wiring and distribution boards, yellow is also used to distinguish one phase in a three-phase system, aiding in clear circuit tracing, maintenance, and fault diagnosis. Using the correct colour coding ensures safe operation, simplifies troubleshooting, and helps comply with Indian electrical installation standards and inspection requirements.

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 outlets, dedicated water heater circuits (up to 2kW), washing machine connections, air cooler wiring, and general power circuits in residential and light commercial installations. It is also used as an alternate earth conductor or for phase identification in multi-circuit distribution boards and industrial panels. Its 1100V rating and IS 694:2010 compliance make it suitable for all standard Indian residential and commercial wiring applications requiring a 2.5 sq mm conductor.
Why is the yellow colour used in this wire, and what does it indicate in Indian electrical wiring?
In Indian electrical wiring practice, yellow is used as an alternate earth wire colour and as a phase identification colour in multi-circuit and three-phase installations. While green or green-with-yellow stripe is the primary earth identifier per IS 3043, yellow is widely adopted in installations that require distinct colour segregation across multiple circuits to avoid confusion during maintenance and fault tracing. In industrial panels and distribution boards, yellow may also denote a specific phase, helping electricians and maintenance personnel quickly identify circuits and work safely.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) mean in the Superex-FR wire, and why is it important?
FR stands for Flame Retardant, meaning the PVC insulation of the Superex-FR wire is specially compounded to resist the spread of fire — it will self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, rather than continuing to burn along the cable run. This is critically important in concealed wiring within walls, conduits, and ceiling spaces, where a fire propagating through the wire insulation can go undetected and cause significant structural damage or loss of life. The FR rating is a recommended minimum safety standard for all fixed wiring in Indian residential and commercial buildings.
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 wire is fully compliant with IS 694:2010, the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V. Compliance with IS 694:2010 ensures that the wire meets defined requirements for conductor resistance, insulation thickness, voltage withstand, and flame retardance, and the product carries the ISI certification mark as confirmation of this compliance. Specifying IS 694:2010 compliant wire is also a requirement under many Indian building codes, CPWD specifications, and electrical installation standards.
