FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) – PANEL WIRE CABLES
1. What type of cable is used for homes and buildings?
For residential and commercial buildings, a flexible cable with two or three insulated conductors is ideal—typically including a grounding wire and protective outer sheath. Life Cables recommends the FLEXLIFE® H07V-K, or its halogen-free version, ZEROSMOKE® H07Z1-K, for such installations.
2. What type of cable is used in a panel wire?
Panel wire cables are designed specifically for control panels and internal wiring systems. These cables feature enhanced flexibility and insulation to ensure durability and performance in compact spaces. Life Cables offers a full line of panel wire solutions for various applications.
3. Are panel wire cables fire-retardant?
Yes. Our ZEROSMOKE® H07Z1-K cable is fire-retardant and meets stringent international safety standards, including:
-
Flame propagation resistance (EN 60332-1 / IEC 60332-1)
-
Fire propagation resistance (EN 60332-3-22 / IEC 60332-3-22)
-
Halogen-free properties (EN 60754-1)
-
Low corrosive gas emissions (IEC 60754-2)
-
High smoke transparency (EN/IEC 61034)
-
European CPR classification: B2ca-s1a, d1, a1 (EN 50575)
4. Which cable is recommended for domestic electrical installation?
We recommend using FLEXLIFE® H07V-K or the halogen-free ZEROSMOKE® H07Z1-K for residential and general building electrical setups.
5. What is the standard cable size for house wiring?
Cable size depends on the current load. For instance, lighting circuits may require 1.5 mm² cables, while air conditioners or heavy appliances might need 2.5 mm² or more. Always follow the recommendations of a licensed electrician or local codes.
6. Why use halogen-free cables at home?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cables like our ZEROSMOKE® series significantly enhance fire safety by reducing toxic emissions and thick smoke. They’re an environmentally responsible and regulation-compliant choice for safer living environments.
7. What is the purpose of the earth (ground) cable?
The earth wire ensures any fault current is safely diverted to the ground, reducing the risk of electric shock, equipment damage, or fire. It's a critical part of any electrical safety system.
