Question 1

How is this wire installed — does it need conduit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this 4 sq mm wire is meant to run inside PVC conduit pipe embedded in the wall or laid on the surface, as is standard practice in Indian homes. It should be installed by a qualified electrician who can size the conduit and circuit correctly for your load. It is not intended for open, unprotected runs.

Question 2

Is this wire safe in case of fire, and does it produce smoke?

Accepted Answer

It is FRLS (Flame Retardant, Low Smoke) insulated, which means it resists flame spread and releases less smoke than standard PVC-insulated wire if exposed to fire. This is the type of wire recommended for household wiring, especially in enclosed spaces like conduits and false ceilings.

Question 3

What is the warranty and how do I claim it?

Accepted Answer

This wire is covered for 15 years from the date of purchase. If you find a manufacturing defect, such as an insulation or conductor issue, WhatsApp us a photo and details, and we dispatch a replacement free within 48 hours. No receipt is required and there is no dealer involved.

Question 4

Will this wire work with my existing switches and MCB panel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A 4 sq mm copper wire is a standard gauge used for general lighting and socket circuits in Indian homes and is compatible with any standard MCB, switch, or socket rated for that circuit. Match the wire gauge to your circuit's expected load — an electrician can confirm the right gauge for each circuit in your home.

Question 5

What is the wire made of?

Accepted Answer

The conductor is multi-strand copper for flexibility and low resistance, insulated with FRLS (Flame Retardant, Low Smoke) PVC compound. This 90-metre coil is supplied in red, one of the standard core colours used to distinguish phase, neutral, and earth wiring during installation.

Question 6

What is the current-carrying capacity of this wire?

Accepted Answer

The exact current-carrying capacity depends on installation method, ambient temperature, and how many wires run in the same conduit, so it is not a fixed number. As a general guide, 4 sq mm copper wire is commonly used for lighting and general power circuits in Indian homes. For the precise rating on your circuit, check with your electrician.
