300/500V PVC insulated non-sheathed building wire is used for fixed wiring installations.
It is suitable for domestic, commercial and industrial building electrical systems.
Typical applications include conduit wiring, trunking systems, switchgear, control panels and distribution boards.
The cable can also be used for lighting circuits, power circuits and protected low voltage wiring.
As a non-sheathed cable, it should be installed where mechanical protection is provided.
Common installation methods include conduit, trunking, panels, enclosures and other protected wiring systems.
The cable should be selected according to voltage rating, conductor size, insulation colour, installation method and project specification.
