Product description
This 16mm² stranded copper wire from Alfanar is engineered for demanding electrical environments, combining robust conductivity with durable heat-resistant PVC insulation. Manufactured to comply with BS EN 50525-2-31, IEC 60227-3, and SASO-GSO-IEC 60227-3 standards, it ensures reliable performance in both residential and industrial applications across Kuwait.
The insulation layer, rated at 90°C, provides excellent protection against electric current leakage, shocks, abrasion, and corrosion. It also shields the conductor from harmful UV rays and resists water and moisture, making it suitable for installations in Kuwait's harsh climate, including high-humidity coastal areas like Salmiya and industrial zones in Shuwaikh and Al Ahmadi.
