Frequently asked questions
What is the critical difference between HR FR LSH wires and standard FR or HFFR (Halogen-Free) cables, and where should APAR SHAKTI Green Wire be installed?
HR FR LSH stands for High Heat Resistant, Flame Retardant, Low Smoke Low Halogen [Query Content]. It offers enhanced fire safety over standard FR (Flame Retardant) wires by actively slowing fire, and critically, minimizing the release of toxic, corrosive gases and dense smoke during a fire event.1 The High Heat Resistance (HR) feature also prevents insulation failure when operating under high continuous temperatures (up to 85∘C).
APAR SHAKTI HR FR LSH wire is ideal for residential buildings, commercial offices, electrical distribution boards, and appliance wiring where enhanced safety is paramount [Query Content]. Note that while LSH is superior, Halogen-Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) cables are typically required for ultra-sensitive environments like data centers to eliminate halogens completely.
What is the maximum load capacity (Amps/Watts) of APAR SHAKTI 2.5 sq mm and 4 sq mm wire, and which size is required for a 1.5 Ton AC or geyser?
A 2.5 sq mm copper wire can safely carry approximately 20 -25 Amps, which translates to a capacity of up to 5,750 Watts on a standard 230 V circuit. The $4.0\text{ sq mm}$ wire is rated for a higher capacity, generally 27-32 Amps.
Recommendation for High-Load Appliances: While >2.5 sq mm may meet the minimum technical requirement for a 1.5-ton AC or a geyser, it is strongly recommended to use a 4.0 sq mm wire for dedicated high-load circuits. Upgrading ensures a safer operating margin, minimizes voltage drop, and improves the long-term efficiency and reliability of the appliance.
Why does the APAR SHAKTI Green Wire feature 101% Conductivity (IACS), and what do RoHS and REACH compliance mean for wire safety and energy efficiency?
The 101% Conductivity (IACS) rating indicates that the copper used has ultra-high purity (99.97%) and exceeds the standard 100% benchmark. This superior conductivity minimizes electrical resistance, ensuring lower power loss and enhancing the wire’s overall “Energy Saving” efficiency.RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance ensures the wire is free from excessive amounts of specific toxic heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, Restriction of Chemicals) compliance is a broader regulation ensuring all chemicals used in the product are evaluated and registered, confirming the wire’s environmental stewardship.
