0.75mm Wire 300/500V flexible Copper Wire Insulated (PVC 70°C) Red, 100 Yards | Asharqiyah Cables Company

Technical Specifications & AWG Conversion

The 0.75mm electrical wire you need for control circuits actually matches 18 AWG standards. Here is the exact breakdown for your projects.

Current carrying capacity drops fast in Saudi summers. We test these cables at 45°C+ ambient temperatures. You lose roughly 15% of capacity when running them in sealed conduits under direct sun. Keep derating in mind.

Stranded vs Solid Conductors & Market Pricing

Stranded wire bends without breaking. Solid wire holds shape but snaps under vibration. The 0.75mm² copper wire we stock uses Class 5 stranding. This makes it perfect for control panels and lighting fixtures that need frequent handling. Solid equivalents break after three bends. Don’t risk it.

Pricing for 0.75mm wire in Saudi Arabia typically runs between 0.40 to 0.65 SAR per meter when bought individually. Rolls of 100 yards cost 110–140 SAR depending on the supplier. You’ll find certified stock in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam warehouses. Always check for the SASO mark before bulk orders. Store coils away from direct sunlight. Heat degrades PVC over time.

Installation & Safety Guidelines

Proper termination prevents heat buildup. Crimp ferrules work best with Class 5 stranded copper. Torque terminal screws to 0.5 Nm maximum. Over-tightening cuts the strands. Run these wires in PVC conduits or trunking. Direct burial or outdoor exposure requires UV-rated jackets. Our PVC insulation handles Saudi humidity and sand storms without cracking. SABER certification is mandatory for 2026 imports. Verify the test report matches your batch number.

Lighting circuits use 0.75mm². Switch loops and small control devices run on this gauge. 1.5mm² handles general power outlets. 2.5mm² covers heavy appliances and main feeds. Picking the wrong size causes voltage drop. Your 0.75 sq mm wire stays cool and flexible. It resists cracking in coastal humidity and industrial heat. Compare brands carefully. Asharqiyah Cables meets IEC 60227-3 standards for consistent performance.

Every coil undergoes resistance testing before dispatch. We measure DC resistance at exactly 20°C using calibrated bridge meters. Values must stay at or below 26.0 Ω/km. Insulation thickness measures 0.6mm minimum. We reject batches with uneven extrusion. Visual defects matter. Check for bubbles or rough edges. Proper storage prevents moisture absorption. Keep rolls on wooden pallets. Avoid concrete floors in humid months.
