Single Core Electric Wire Product Description
Single core electric wire is a basic wire used to carry electricity. It has one metal wire inside, made from copper or aluminium, which allows electric current to flow.
The metal wire is covered with a protective insulation layer, usually PVC or XLPE. This outer cover helps prevent electric shock and leakage, making the wire safe to use.
Single core electric wires come in different sizes so they can be used for various power needs. They are available as solid wires for fixed wiring and flexible wires for easy installation.
These wires are commonly used in home wiring, lights, switchboards, panels, and industrial electrical work. They are also used for phase, neutral, and earthing connections.
With a simple design, strong insulation, and easy handling, single core electric wire is a reliable and affordable choice for everyday electrical wiring.
