Electrical wire TRONIC-CY 3x1.5 mm² tinned copper braid PVC grey

TRONIC-CY 3x1.5 mm² tinned copper braid PVC grey is a three-core electrical wire designed for low-voltage power and control circuits. The conductor consists of tinned copper braid that resists corrosion and improves solderability, while the PVC insulation and outer sheath provide electrical insulation and mechanical protection. The grey colour of the sheath makes the cable visually unobtrusive in indoor installations and service runs.

Advantages

The tinned copper braid offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared with bare copper, extending service life in environments with occasional moisture or chemical exposure. The braided conductor construction improves flexibility relative to solid conductors, facilitating routing in confined spaces and around bends. PVC insulation delivers reliable dielectric properties, abrasion resistance and moderate heat tolerance suitable for typical indoor applications. The three-core configuration with 1.5 mm² cross-section is a common choice for lighting, small motors and control circuits where both power and a neutral/earth arrangement are required.

Suitable for

• Indoor power distribution and lighting circuits
• Control panels and connecting appliances
• Wiring in switchgear and distribution boxes
• Temporary power runs and renovation wiring

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 3
• Conductor material: tinned copper braid
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per core
• Insulation and sheath: PVC
• Colour: grey outer sheath
• Application voltage range: low-voltage installations (typical mains and control voltages)
• Flexibility: stranded/braided conductor for improved handling

How to use

Install the TRONIC-CY 3x1.5 mm² cable according to local electrical codes and regulations. Before terminating, strip the outer sheath and individual core insulation to the required length, taking care not to damage the braided conductors. For secure terminations, tin the braid or use appropriately rated ferrules/terminal lugs; ensure tight mechanical connections and correct polarity. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and high-temperature surfaces, and secure it with suitable clamps or cable ties. Perform insulation and continuity tests after installation to confirm correct wiring and absence of damage.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for indoor and protected environments; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high external temperatures or chemicals that can degrade PVC. Where higher thermal rating, outdoor exposure or direct burial is required, select a cable with appropriate insulation or additional protective conduits. For safety, comply with local electrical standards and engage a qualified electrician for mains connections and fixed installations.
