HRFR · IS 694

Shock Free

Our general-purpose house wire. Heat-resistant PVC carries more current before it softens, and the flame-retardant compound stops a fault from spreading along the run.

About this wire

Heat-resistant, flame-retardant PVC

Shock Free is a single-core, unsheathed house wire with a class 5 flexible copper conductor, insulated with heat-resistant, flame-retardant (HRFR) PVC. It is rated 1100 V and conforms to IS 694.

Heat-resistant PVC keeps its shape at higher conductor temperatures than ordinary PVC, so the wire tolerates heavier loads and hot conduits. The flame-retardant compound stops burning once the source of the flame is removed.

It is the widest range we make, from 0.5 sq mm for lighting and control up to 6 sq mm for mains and heavy appliances, with single-core industrial sizes up to 400 sq mm made to order.

Where to use it

  • Lighting and fan circuits
  • Power sockets and kitchen circuits
  • Air conditioners and geysers (4 and 6 sq mm)
  • Panel and control wiring (0.5 and 0.75 sq mm)
