FAQs

What is the nominal conductor diameter?

The nominal conductor diameter is 0.98mm.

What is the outer diameter of this wire?

The outer diameter of the LAPP SC 2.1 UL Installation Wire is 2.9mm.

Can this wire be used for mains power (e.g., 120V/240V)?

Yes, with a nominal voltage rating of 750V, it is suitable for standard mains power applications as long as the system voltage is at or below this rating and it meets all local electrical codes.

Is the purple color significant?

Yes, the distinct purple color helps in easily identifying and organizing specific circuits within an electrical installation for better management and troubleshooting.

What does 'Class 5' conductor mean?

'Class 5' refers to the conductor's flexibility. Class 5 is a standard for finely stranded, flexible conductors, making the wire easier to work with.

What is the maximum processing temperature?

The wire can be processed and operated in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +90°C.

What type of insulation does this wire have?

The conductor insulation is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Troubleshooting

Wire is too stiff to bend easily.

Ensure you are using the correct wire type. The SC 2.1 UL is designed for flexibility, but extremely tight bends may require more care or different tools. Verify no damage has occurred during unspooling.

Conductor appears damaged after stripping.

Use a wire stripper with the correct gauge setting for 0.75mm² wire. Avoid pulling or twisting the conductor excessively. Inspect for any nicks or breaks in the conductor strands.

Connection is intermittent.

Re-check the termination. Ensure the conductor is fully inserted into the terminal or connector and that the connection is secure. Look for any signs of corrosion or debris on the conductor or terminal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High flexibility for easier installation.
  • Durable PVC insulation for long-term reliability.
  • Suitable for a broad range of temperatures.
  • Clear color coding for efficient wiring management.
  • Approved for use up to 750V.

Cons

  • Specific voltage rating limits application to systems below 750V.
  • PVC insulation may be less resistant to certain chemicals compared to other materials.
  • Requires proper handling to avoid damage during installation.
  • Available in specific conductor sizes; larger or smaller sizes may require different products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wire's voltage and temperature ratings are suitable for your intended application.
  2. Strip the PVC insulation carefully using appropriate wire stripping tools to expose the conductor.
  3. Connect the conductor securely to terminals or connectors, ensuring proper crimping or screw termination.

Compatibility:

  • This wire is compatible with standard electrical connectors, terminals, and junction boxes designed for 0.75mm² conductors.
  • It is suitable for use in systems operating at or below its nominal voltage rating of 750V.
  • Check local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance for your specific installation.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the wire during installation to prevent conductor damage.
  • Protect the wire from excessive heat, direct sunlight, or abrasive surfaces that could degrade the PVC insulation over time.
  • Clean the exterior of the wire with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh solvents that could damage the PVC.
  • Store the wire in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use.
