3183TQ 3-Core Heat Resistant Butyl Flexible Cable | Tinned Copper, 300/500V, BS EN 50525-2-21, HAR & CE Certified
Overview
The 3183TQ 3-Core Heat Resistant Butyl Flexible Cable is a high-performance, durable flexible power cord engineered for reliable electrical connection in environments exposed to elevated temperatures, oils, and grease. Built to meet strict international standards, this cable is widely trusted across South Africa in residential homes, commercial kitchens, offices, and heating applications—delivering consistent performance even under demanding conditions.
Constructed with tinned copper stranded conductors and premium butyl insulation and sheath, it combines outstanding heat resistance, flexibility, and chemical durability. Rated for 300/500 V service, it operates reliably from -35°C up to 90°C continuously, withstanding short-circuit peaks up to 160°C. Whether you are specifying wiring for household appliances, kitchen equipment, or water heaters, 3183TQ offers peace of mind with HAR, CE, and ISO 9001 certification, fully aligned with BS EN 50525-2-21 (H05BN4-F).
Key Features & Benefits
Heat Resistant Butyl Construction: Maintains mechanical and electrical integrity at up to 90°C continuous use; ideal for hot environments such as near ovens, boilers, and immersion heaters.
Tinned Copper Conductors: Provide superior resistance to oil, grease, and corrosion—greatly extending service life in kitchens, workshops, and industrial cleaning areas common in South African commercial and residential settings.
Flexible Stranded Design: Easy to route, install, and terminate; minimum bending radius of 8× overall diameter simplifies wiring in tight spaces and around appliances.
Broad Operating Temperature Range: Performs reliably from -35°C to 90°C, suitable for both coastal and inland South African climates—from chilly winter nights to hot summer days.
International Quality & Compliance: Manufactured to BS EN 50525-2-21 (H05BN4-F), certified HAR, CE, and produced under ISO 9001 quality management—ensuring consistency and traceability for every roll.
Voltage Rating 300/500 V: Safe and suitable for standard low-voltage power and lighting circuits found in homes, offices, and light commercial premises nationwide.
Typical Applications
The 3183TQ series is the preferred choice for:
✅ Domestic Premises: Household appliance wiring, extension cords, and general-purpose flexible connections.
✅ Kitchens & Catering Environments: Equipment wiring near heat sources, stoves, and food-preparation areas.
✅ Offices & Commercial Spaces: Power cords for office equipment, heaters, and fixed or portable devices.
✅ Heating Equipment: Specifically designed for immersion heaters and similar hot-water or heating appliances.

Product Range & Electrical Data
Why Choose 3183TQ for Your Project?
In South Africa, where temperatures vary widely by region and many installations face exposure to heat, moisture, and food-service chemicals, the 3183TQ series offers a distinct advantage over standard PVC flexible cables. Its butyl insulation does not become brittle with age or heat, while tinned copper conductors resist the oil and grease often found in kitchens, bakeries, and industrial facilities—reducing the risk of premature failure and improving long-term safety.
Whether you are an electrical engineer designing building wiring, a procurement specialist sourcing reliable appliance cordage, or a contractor supplying compliant materials across residential and commercial developments, 3183TQ delivers the right balance of performance, certification, and availability. It is fully type-approved to European and international standards, making specification straightforward and compliance easy to demonstrate.
