Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 6 sq mm Green Copper House Wire is engineered for demanding electrical installations where both current-carrying capacity and safety are non-negotiable. With a 6 sq mm cross-sectional area, this wire comfortably handles high-load applications including split air conditioners up to 2 ton, high-capacity geysers, and motor circuits up to 3 HP. Its green colour designation makes it the go-to choice for earth and ground wiring, ensuring every metal enclosure, appliance body, and switchbox in a building is safely bonded to earth in full compliance with IS 3043.
Manufactured under the trusted Superex-FR series, this wire features FR-grade PVC insulation that actively resists flame propagation, making it a safer choice for concealed conduit wiring, surface wiring, and distribution board connections. The 90-metre coil length is well-suited for large residential projects, commercial fit-outs, and industrial sub-main wiring runs, reducing the need for mid-run joints that can compromise circuit integrity. Whether you are a licensed electrician wiring a new apartment block or a contractor commissioning a commercial space, this RR Kabel product delivers the consistency and compliance demanded by Indian electrical standards.

Why Choose RR Kabel Superex-FR?
- Flame Retardant Safety: The FR-grade PVC insulation is formulated to self-extinguish and resist flame spread, significantly reducing fire risk in concealed and open wiring installations.
- High-Purity Electrolytic Copper: The conductor uses electrolytic-grade copper for superior conductivity, minimal energy loss, and long-term reliability under continuous load.
- ISI Mark & IS 694:2010 Compliance: Every coil is manufactured and tested to IS 694:2010, India’s national standard for PVC insulated cables, giving buyers and inspectors full confidence in quality and safety.
- Consistent Coil Length: The 90-metre coil is precisely measured, reducing material wastage and making project estimation straightforward for electricians and contractors.
Colour Code Guide
In Indian electrical wiring practice, green is the universally recognised colour for the earth or protective conductor, as mandated by IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing). This wire must be used exclusively for connecting all exposed metal parts — including appliance bodies, switchbox enclosures, distribution board chassis, conduit pipes, and motor frames — to the main earthing system. Using the correct green-coloured wire for earth circuits is not merely a convention; it is a legal and safety requirement that enables quick identification during inspection, maintenance, and fault-finding, preventing potentially fatal electric shock hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RR Kabel Superex-FR 6 sq mm wire used for in residential and commercial wiring?
The 6 sq mm wire is rated for high-load circuits and is commonly used for air conditioner connections up to 2 ton, high-capacity geyser wiring, main distribution board runs, and sub-main cables in commercial buildings. It is also suitable for motor connections up to 3 HP, making it a versatile choice for both residential and light commercial electrical projects. Its 90-metre coil length ensures adequate coverage for larger installations without mid-circuit joints.
Why is the green colour used for this wire, and is it mandatory in Indian wiring?
Green is the designated colour for the earth or protective conductor in Indian electrical installations, as specified under IS 3043 (Code of Practice for Earthing). It must be used exclusively for connecting metal enclosures, appliance bodies, switchboxes, and distribution board chassis to the main earth terminal, and using this colour is a mandatory safety and compliance requirement. Correct colour coding allows electricians, inspectors, and maintenance staff to instantly identify earth conductors, preventing dangerous miswiring.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) mean, and why does it matter for house wiring?
FR stands for Flame Retardant, which means the PVC insulation is specially compounded to resist ignition and self-extinguish if exposed to a flame source, rather than spreading fire along the cable run. This is critically important for concealed wiring inside walls, ceilings, and conduits, where a burning wire could cause a hidden fire that is difficult to detect and extinguish. RR Kabel Superex-FR’s flame retardant properties provide an essential additional layer of fire safety beyond standard PVC wires.
How does IS 694:2010 compliance benefit the end user or building owner?
IS 694:2010 is the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V, covering requirements for conductor dimensions, insulation thickness, electrical resistance, and mechanical strength. A wire complying with and bearing the ISI mark under IS 694:2010 has been independently tested and certified, giving building owners, electrical inspectors, and insurance assessors confidence that the installation meets the national safety standard. It also ensures the wire will perform safely under the continuous loads and ambient conditions typical of Indian residential and commercial buildings.
