Usage Instructions
Current ratings vary with installation method, ambient temperature, and project conditions. Always follow the project's cable sizing calculation, electrical design, and applicable local regulations.
- Select wire size based on load, circuit length, voltage drop limits, and installation method, as per the electrical design.
- Use 1.5 sqmm primarily for lighting and fan circuits; 2.5 sqmm for general sockets; 4–10 sqmm for dedicated high-load circuits and small sub-mains.
- Install approved conduits, trunking, or closed ducts for indoor building wiring; avoid direct burial unless the cable type is specifically rated for it.
- Maintain correct colour coding for phase, neutral, and earth to simplify testing, inspection, and future maintenance.
- Terminate with suitable lugs or terminals in DBs, MCBs, and switches, and ensure connections are properly tightened to avoid heating.
- Perform insulation resistance and continuity tests before energizing, in line with standard commissioning practices.

Armored Cables
Armored cables are low-voltage power cables with copper or aluminium conductors, XLPE/PVC insulation, and a steel wire armour layer, designed for underground and heavy-duty industrial power distribution. Supplied by Gulf Basic Trading, these armored cables are ideal for direct burial, ducts, cable trays, and exposed routes where mechanical protection and long service life are essential. Product Overview: Armored cables use copper or aluminium conductors with XLPE or PVC insulation, protective bedding, a steel wire or steel tape armour layer, and an outer PVC or LSZH sheath. The metallic armour gives extra mechanical protection against impact, crushing, and accidental digging damage, making these cables suitable for harsh environments. These cables are commonly used in low-voltage (LV) electrical distribution systems for industrial plants, commercial buildings, infrastructure projects, and utility networks where reliable underground or exposed power distribution is required. They are designed to keep power flowing reliably in tough conditions like rocky ground, plant yards, and high-traffic utility corridors.
