Product Information

Full details

This Lapp SC 2.1 UL installation wire is designed for electrical installations requiring a flexible, durable conductor. It offers reliable performance for a range of applications with its 750V rating and broad temperature tolerance. A potential consideration is its specific conductor cross-section of 0.75 mm², which may not be suitable for all load requirements.

FAQs

What does 'UL' signify in the product name?

UL signifies that the wire has been tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories for safety and performance standards in the United States.

Can this wire be used outdoors?

While the wire has a broad temperature range, the PVC insulation is not inherently UV or weather-resistant for direct outdoor exposure without additional protection. It is primarily intended for installation within conduits or enclosures.

What is the maximum current this wire can handle?

The product information specifies a nominal conductor cross-section of 0.75 mm². The maximum current rating depends on installation factors like conduit fill, ambient temperature, and applicable electrical codes. Consult relevant standards or a qualified electrician for precise current limits.

Is this wire suitable for 240V applications?

Yes, with a nominal voltage rating of 750V, this wire is suitable for 240V applications, provided the conductor size (0.75 mm²) is appropriate for the load.

How do I identify the wire if multiple colors are used in an installation?

This specific wire is orange, which aids in identification. For a complete installation, ensure that all wires adhere to established color-coding standards for different circuits and functions.

What is the conductor composition class?

The conductor composition is Class 5, which means it is made up of many fine strands of wire, providing excellent flexibility compared to solid conductors.

Troubleshooting

Wire is difficult to bend or route.

Ensure you are using the correct end of the wire and that it has not been kinked. The Class 5 conductor is designed for flexibility; excessive stiffness may indicate damage.

Intermittent connection.

Check that the conductor is securely fastened in the terminal or connector. Ensure the stripped conductor is fully inserted and making good contact. Inspect the conductor for any signs of corrosion or damage.

Insulation appears damaged.

Immediately cease use and replace the affected section of wire. Damaged insulation compromises safety and performance. Avoid installations where the wire could be subjected to abrasion or excessive heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High flexibility for easy routing and installation.
  • Robust PVC insulation provides good protection.
  • Suitable for a wide range of operating temperatures.
  • Clear and distinct orange color for easy identification.

Cons

  • Conductor cross-section of 0.75 mm² may be insufficient for high-current applications.
  • PVC insulation may not be suitable for all harsh chemical environments.
  • Limited to 750V nominal voltage, not suitable for high-voltage systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wire is cut cleanly using appropriate wire strippers.
  2. Strip approximately 5-10mm of insulation from the conductor end.
  3. Connect the conductor to the terminal or connector securely, ensuring good electrical contact.
  4. Adhere to local electrical codes and regulations for proper installation.

Compatibility:

  • Nominal Voltage: Compatible with systems up to 750V.
  • Temperature Range: Suitable for ambient and operating temperatures between -40°C and +90°C.
  • Conductor Size: Designed for use where a 0.75 mm² cross-section is specified.

Care:

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or UV radiation, which can degrade PVC over time.
  • Keep the wire away from sharp objects or excessive abrasion.
  • Periodically inspect the insulation for any signs of damage or wear, especially in high-vibration environments.
  • Clean the exterior of the wire with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh solvents.
