RS PRO Tri-Rated Hook Up Wire, 14 AWG, 50 x 0.25 mm Strands, 2.5mm², 305 m Length, Yellow/Green PVC Jacket, 225-2157

RS PRO 225-2157 Tri-Rated Series Hook Up Wire is designed to offer reliable and versatile performance across electrical, control panel, and industrial automation projects. This wire features a 2.5 mm² (14 AWG) cross-sectional conductor, constructed from 50 strands of 0.25 mm diameter plain annealed copper for both flexibility and optimal conductivity. The yellow and green HR PVC (heat resistant polyvinyl chloride) insulation ensures heat resistance up to 105°C, making it well-suited to high-temperature or demanding operational environments.

With a substantial 305 meter length, this single-core cable is ideal for large-scale panel assembly, control circuit wiring, and switchgear applications where extended continuous runs are required. Its tri-rated certification means it meets the rigorous requirements of three major standards: BS 6231 (British), UL (Underwriters Laboratories), and CSA (Canadian Standards Association), making this product globally accepted for high safety and compliance needs.

Tri-rated construction for global compliance and broad usage in electrical switchgear and panel wiring applications. 50 x 0.25 mm copper wire stranding delivers Class 5 flexibility as per BS EN 60228 standards. Outer jacket material made from flame-retardant HR PVC, suitable for environments where fire safety is critical.

Color-coded yellow/green sheath helps with quick identification for ground/earth or safety wiring tasks. Voltage rating of 1 kV DC (600 V AC) and current rating up to 30 A for robust power delivery. Oil-resistant insulation up to 60°C for compatibility with motor control centers and machinery cabinets.

Designed for long life with high thermal and flame resistance, proven by testing to VW-1, FT-1, and EN 50265 standards. 305-meter spool provides excellent economic value and installation efficiency for OEMs, panel builders, and maintenance teams.

Common industrial and commercial applications include: switchgear panels, relay boards, rectifier connections, motor starters and controllers, electrical cabinets, and general internal device wiring. Its robust construction ensures safe, durable connections in control panels, instrumentation panels, and equipment enclosures for manufacturing, laboratory, and infrastructure projects.

The RS PRO Tri-Rated wire series is trusted by professionals worldwide for its high reliability and compliance with stringent electrical safety standards, suitable for both new installations and electrical maintenance.
