3094Y 4-Core Heat Resistant Flexible Cable Fine-Stranded Copper, BS EN 50525-2-11, BASEC Approved, 300/500V, for High-Temperature Internal Wiring & Heating Appliances

Overview

The 3094Y 4-Core Heat Resistant Flexible Cable is a high-performance wiring solution engineered specifically for environments and equipment where elevated temperatures are common. Building on the proven design of the 318-Y cable, this variant is optimised for high-temperature zones, making it ideal for internal wiring and flexible supply cords to a wide range of electrical apparatus. It is not intended for outdoor use.

Manufactured with fine-stranded copper conductors, the cable combines superior flexibility with dependable electrical performance, making it easier to handle and install—especially in tight spaces or where frequent movement and vibration are a concern. Fully certified to BASEC Approved, HAR, and CE standards, and manufactured in accordance with BS EN 50525-2-11, it meets rigorous quality and safety requirements recognised across South Africa and international markets.

This cable is widely specified in South African residential, commercial, and light-industrial installations—particularly where heating appliances form a key part of the electrical system. Local electricians, contractors, and procurement teams rely on this type of heat-resistant flexible cable for consistent performance, long service life, and compliance with expected safety norms in hot working or operating conditions.

Key Specifications

Core Size & Technical Data

Typical Applications

The 3094Y cable is purpose-built for appliances and locations where heat buildup is normal—making it a trusted choice in South African homes, workshops, and commercial premises. Common uses include:

• Storage heaters – a popular heating solution across many regions of South Africa

• Immersion heaters – internal wiring and flexible supply connections

• Heating elements – wiring within heating appliances and equipment

• Electric hobs – flexible supply cords to cooking appliances

• Internal wiring in high-temperature zones – enclosures, appliance interiors, and areas where ambient temperatures remain elevated

• Supply cords to electrical apparatus – wherever a flexible, heat-resistant connection is needed indoors

Because it is designed for indoor and appliance-internal use only, it should not be routed outdoors, buried underground, or exposed to direct UV and weathering. Always select an outdoor-rated alternative where external exposure is unavoidable.

Why Choose the 3094Y Range?

• ✅ Heat resistance – rated for continuous operation up to 90°C, withstanding short-circuit peaks to 150°C

• ✅ Fully certified – BASEC, HAR, and CE approved, manufactured to BS EN 50525-2-11

• ✅ Clear performance data – published current ratings, resistance, and dimensions assist quick, accurate design work

• ✅ Multiple sizes & lengths – from 0.75 mm² to 2.5 mm², available in popular lengths or cut to your exact needs

• ✅ Proven in heating circuits – widely used and specified for heaters, hobs, and heating elements

Installation & Usage Notes

• Designed for indoor use and appliance internal wiring only.

• Observe the minimum bending radius of 5× the cable diameter during installation to avoid damage.

• Current ratings are given for guidance; always verify against actual installation conditions, grouping, ambient temperature, and applicable local wiring regulations (such as the South African National Standard SANS 164-1).

• For outdoor or direct-burial applications, please consult our range of cables designed for those environments.
