Installation Guidance, Tips & Tricks

Plan Runs To Reduce Waste: Measure and route thoughtfully to use the 20m roll efficiently, minimizing offcuts and simplifying pulls between connection points.

 

Respect The 600V Rating: Ensure the circuit voltage does not exceed 600 Volts to stay within the wire specification and maintain safe operation.

 

Keep Below 70°C Limit: Route away from heat sources and allow ventilation so the wire insulation and copper remain under the 70°C maximum temperature rating.

 

Use Compatible Copper Terminations: Choose connectors and terminations designed for high-conductivity copper and the 16mm² size, ensuring firm, clean connections without damaging the conductor or insulation.

 

Protect Insulation During Pulling: Pull smoothly and avoid abrasive edges to prevent nicks or cuts in the tough insulation during installation.
