OWY electrical cable 3x1.5 mm² 300/500V white - OWY3X1,5

OWY electrical cable 3x1.5 mm² 300/500V in white is a three-core fixed-installation power cable intended for indoor low-voltage distribution. The cable contains three insulated conductors with a 1.5 mm² cross-sectional area each, covered by a white outer sheath that is suitable for visible or concealed wiring in domestic and light-commercial environments. The 300/500V rating denotes compatibility with standard low-voltage circuits such as lighting and small appliance feeds where fixed wiring is required.

Advantages

This OWY 3x1.5 mm² cable provides consistent electrical conductivity and a compact profile that simplifies routing in cable ducts, trunking, and behind switchgear. The three-core configuration allows for line, neutral and earth connections or line switching arrangements depending on installation practice. The white outer sheath offers a neutral aesthetic for interior installations and helps with visual identification during routing and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Indoor fixed electrical installations in homes and apartments
• Lighting circuits and ceiling fixture connections
• Wiring small household appliances and socket loops (within local regulations)
• Concealed routing in walls, ceilings, trunking and conduit

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 3 conductors
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per core
• Voltage rating: 300/500 V for low-voltage installations
• Outer sheath color: white
• Intended use: indoor fixed wiring

How to use

Install the OWY 3x1.5 mm² cable according to national wiring regulations and best practices for fixed installations. Route the cable through appropriate trunking, conduit or within wall/ceiling cavities, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical damage. Strip insulation carefully to expose conductors for termination, ensuring correct identification of live, neutral and earth conductors. Secure all terminations in properly rated connectors, junction boxes, or terminal blocks and verify continuity and insulation resistance before energizing the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable only for indoor fixed wiring at or below the specified voltage rating. Ensure installation is carried out or inspected by a qualified electrician, follow local electrical codes, and protect the cable from mechanical damage, excessive heat, and moisture. For circuits requiring larger current capacity or different environmental resistance, select an alternative cable with a larger cross-section or appropriate protective sheath.
