House wires are mainly used for wiring domestic and commercial structures. They are capable of handling 85°C operating temperature since they are insulated with a flame retardant PVC compound (formulated and manufactured in-house).
Characteristics like these make Wires reliable, energy efficient and highly safe.
House Wire Catelogue
These cables are used mostly in residential buildings, commercial buildings, multiplexes, institutions and also in a wide variety of industries in machineries, tools, appliances and control panels.
IS: 694, BS: 6500, IEC 60227 and meeting customer requirements.
These wires work well even in adverse atmospheric conditions.
