3095Y 5-Core Heat Resistant Flexible Cable | 300/500V BS EN 50525-2-11 BASEC Approved Fine Stranded Copper Cable for High-Temperature Internal Wiring & Appliance Supply
Overview
The 3095Y 5-Core Heat Resistant Flexible Cable is a premium-grade electrical supply lead engineered to complement the widely specified 318-Y range—with enhanced performance tailored specifically for high-temperature zones, internal equipment wiring, and appliance power connections. Designed for use at 300/500V rated voltage, this cable is a trusted choice across South African industrial, commercial, and building services projects, where consistent heat resistance and mechanical flexibility are critical. It carries BASEC approval, conforms to HAR and CE standards, and is manufactured in strict alignment with BS EN 50525-2-11, giving engineers, procurement specialists, and installers full confidence in compliance, durability, and safety.
Key Construction & Materials
Every detail of the 3095Y cable is built for reliable performance in demanding environments:
Conductor: Constructed from fine-stranded copper, balancing superior conductivity with outstanding flexibility for easy installation in tight spaces, control panels, and equipment enclosures.
Voltage Rating: Rated 300/500V — ideal for low-voltage power, control circuits, and apparatus supply wiring.
Temperature Performance: Operates reliably from -15°C up to 90°C continuous service; withstands short-circuit peaks up to 150°C. This makes it especially well-suited for areas exposed to sustained heat — such as near boilers, central heating systems, and heat-generating machinery — common in South Africa’s warmer regions and industrial installations.
Bending & Installation: Minimum bending radius of 6× overall diameter, ensuring neat routing without compromising cable integrity.
Important Note: Designed for indoor use only / protected internal wiring. It is not suitable for direct outdoor exposure, direct burial, or unprotected external applications.
Technical Specifications
Primary Applications
The 3095Y serves as a versatile upgrade from standard 318-Y cable — performing identically in general use, but excelling where heat resistance is a priority. Typical installations across South Africa include:
✅ Central heating control wiring — a proven standard in heating system wiring throughout South Africa
✅ Internal wiring of electrical appliances, motors, and control gear
✅ Supply cords and internal leads to electrical apparatus
✅ High-temperature zones and areas near heat-emitting equipment
✅ Control panels, distribution boards, and building services wiring
Not intended for: Direct outdoor use, underground burial, or installations exposed to weather, UV, or moisture without suitable conduit or protection.
Why Choose 3095Y for Your Project?
In South Africa’s varied climate — where indoor spaces near heating systems, kitchens, and industrial equipment can reach elevated temperatures — standard wiring may degrade prematurely. The 3095Y 5-Core Heat Resistant Flexible Cable answers this need by offering:
✅ BASEC certification — verified quality and compliance, simplifying procurement and project sign-off
✅ 90°C continuous rating — reliable performance in high-temperature zones where standard cables fall short
✅ Fine-stranded copper — easier handling and installation in tight panels and equipment
✅ BS EN 50525-2-11 compliance — recognised locally and internationally, making it suitable for specification in commercial, industrial, and building projects across South Africa
✅ Consistent with 318-Y installation practice — direct to install where higher heat resistance is required
✅ Flexible supply options — available in 25m, 50m, and 100m coils or cut to exact lengths as required
Summary
Whether you are specifying wiring for central heating controls, industrial machinery, or electrical apparatus in high-temperature environments, the 3095Y 5-Core Heat Resistant Flexible Cable delivers proven performance, full certification, and long-term reliability. Combining fine-stranded flexibility, a robust 90°C rating, and BASEC/BS EN compliance — it is the smart choice for engineers and procurement professionals seeking a heat-resistant internal wiring solution trusted in projects across South Africa.
