Description
A 2.5mm² Alvin cable is an electrical wire designed for medium-duty power transmission in domestic, commercial, and light industrial installations. The 2.5mm² refers to the cross-sectional area of the copper conductor, which influences how much current it can safely carry.
Here are more details:
1. Construction
-
Conductor: Pure copper for high conductivity and low resistance.
-
Insulation: Usually made from high-quality PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for electrical safety and durability.
-
Sheath: In some cases, double-layered for extra protection.
2. Current Capacity
-
Can typically handle 18–24 amps depending on installation conditions.
-
Suitable for single-phase or three-phase wiring systems.
3. Applications
-
Power circuits for sockets and small appliances.
-
Connection of air conditioners, water heaters, cookers (light duty).
-
Lighting circuits with higher load requirements.
4. Advantages
-
Durable and resistant to heat, moisture, and abrasion.
-
Stable electrical performance with minimal voltage drop.
-
Complies with Kenyan and international electrical safety standards.
5. Safety Notes
-
Always match the cable size to the electrical load to prevent overheating.
-
Installation should follow proper wiring regulations (e.g., KEBS, IEE standards).
