Typical scenarios include power distribution and phase wiring in electrical panels, branch circuits in buildings, and any installation where a color-coded, single-core red conductor is required for clear identification.

Question 10

What should I consider when choosing between 4mm² and other sizes on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

Consider the current-carrying needs, length of run, voltage drop expectations, available space, and ease of pulling through conduits. If your load is moderate, 4mm² offers a balance of capacity and flexibility; for heavier loads or longer runs, a larger size like 6mm² may be more appropriate, while smaller loads may be better served by 2.5mm².

Question 11

Are there related or compatible cables and accessories on Fepy I should look at with this product?

Accepted Answer

Yes.
