Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel Superex-FR 6 sq mm Yellow Copper House Wire delivers the conductor cross-section required for the most demanding circuits found in modern Indian homes, commercial establishments, and light industrial installations. Manufactured to IS 694:2010 standards, this single-core wire carries an ISI mark and features FR PVC insulation that actively resists flame propagation — a critical safety characteristic when wiring runs are concealed within walls, conduits, or cable trays. The 1100V voltage rating provides a robust safety margin well above the 230V and 415V systems common across Indian residential and commercial projects.
The yellow colour of this 90-metre coil carries specific significance in professional electrical practice. It is widely used as an earth conductor or for phase identification in multi-circuit and three-phase installations, making it an essential colour in any comprehensive wiring project. With 90 metres on a single coil, this product minimises mid-run joints — reducing potential fault points and speeding up installation for electricians working on larger projects such as villa wiring, commercial fit-outs, and distribution board layouts. Shansen Enterprises supplies this wire as an authorised RR Kabel dealer, ensuring every coil is genuine and traceable.

- Sub-Main Cables in Commercial Buildings: Ideal for sub-main feeds between floor distribution boards in offices, retail outlets, and commercial complexes.
- Motor Connections up to 3 HP: Handles single-phase motor wiring for pumps, compressors, and agricultural/industrial motors up to 3 HP.
- Industrial Panel Wiring: Used for phase identification and earthing runs inside control panels and switchgear enclosures where colour coding is essential.
- EV Charging Point Wiring: Suitable for dedicated circuits feeding home EV chargers where a higher-gauge, flame-retardant wire is specified.
- Workshop and Garage Power Circuits: Supplies high-draw power tools, welding machines, and workshop equipment requiring a dedicated 32A circuit.
Why Choose RR Kabel Superex-FR?
- Flame Retardant Safety: The FR PVC insulation is formulated to self-extinguish and resist the spread of flame along the cable run, significantly reducing fire risk in concealed and open wiring systems — a requirement increasingly referenced in Indian National Electrical Code (NEC India) guidelines.
- High-Purity Electrolytic Copper Conductor: RR Kabel uses electrolytic-grade copper with minimal resistivity, ensuring low heat generation, maximum conductivity, and long-term reliability even under continuous heavy loads.
- IS 694:2010 Compliance and ISI Mark: Every coil is manufactured and tested in accordance with IS 694:2010, the Bureau of Indian Standards specification for PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V. The ISI mark guarantees third-party quality assurance.
- Consistent Coil Length: The 90-metre coil is factory-measured and sealed, giving contractors and project managers confidence in material estimation and reducing wastage on larger wiring projects.
Colour Code Guide
In Indian electrical wiring practice, yellow is used in two primary contexts. In three-phase installations following IS 3043 and standard Indian colour coding conventions, yellow denotes one of the three live phase conductors — typically the B-phase in older convention or as an alternate phase identification colour in panel and industrial wiring. Yellow is also employed as an earth conductor in certain installation designs where green or green-yellow striped wire is unavailable, particularly in commercial panel wiring and switchgear terminations. Electricians and panel builders should confirm the specific colour assignment with the project’s wiring diagram and comply with the applicable IS 3043 earthing and IS 694:2010 wiring standards. Consistent colour coding across a project ensures safe identification during maintenance, inspection, and fault-finding operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 6 sq mm house wire used for, and is it suitable for a 2-ton air conditioner?
A 6 sq mm copper wire is rated to safely carry the current drawn by circuits such as 1.5-ton and 2-ton air conditioners, high-capacity storage geysers (15 to 25 litres), sub-main distribution runs from the distribution board, and single-phase motor connections up to 3 HP. For a standard 2-ton split AC drawing approximately 9 to 11 amperes continuously, a 6 sq mm wire provides a comfortable safety margin well within the conductor’s current-carrying capacity. It is also used in commercial buildings for sub-main cabling between floor distribution boards and in light industrial wiring applications.
What does the yellow colour signify in Indian electrical wiring practice?
In Indian electrical installations, yellow is used in two primary roles: as a phase conductor identifier in three-phase systems — typically representing one of the live phases in panel and industrial wiring — and as an alternate earth conductor in certain commercial and switchgear applications where standard green or green-yellow earth wire is not available. Electricians and panel builders working on multi-circuit or three-phase installations rely on yellow wire for systematic colour coding that aids safe identification during maintenance, inspection, and fault diagnosis. All colour assignments should comply with IS 3043 earthing standards and the project’s approved wiring diagram.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) mean in RR Kabel Superex-FR wire, and why does it matter?
FR stands for Flame Retardant — a property of the PVC insulation compound that enables it to resist igniting from an external flame source and, critically, to self-extinguish once the flame source is removed, thereby preventing fire from spreading along the length of the cable. This is especially important in concealed wiring within walls, conduit runs, false ceilings, and cable trays where a wiring fault could otherwise allow flames to travel unseen. RR Kabel’s Superex-FR insulation meets the flame retardancy requirements specified under IS 694:2010 and aligns with the fire safety intent of the Indian National Electrical Code (NEC India), making it the preferred choice over standard PVC wires for safety-conscious installations.
Is RR Kabel Superex-FR 6 sq mm wire compliant with IS 694:2010?
Yes, the RR Kabel Superex-FR 6 sq mm Yellow Copper House Wire is manufactured and tested in full compliance with IS 694:2010 — the Bureau of Indian Standards specification covering PVC insulated cables for working voltages up to and including 1100V — and carries the mandatory ISI mark as evidence of third-party certification. This means every batch is subject to BIS-mandated testing for conductor resistance, insulation resistance, high-voltage withstand, and flame retardancy before it reaches the market. Specifying an IS 694:2010 compliant wire is a requirement in most Indian construction contracts, government projects, and inspections by electrical inspectorates.
