These cables are suitable for installation in dry applications only, in conduit or enclosures, such as switchboards, control panels, appliances and electrical equipment. such as radios, desk lamps and office machines, etc. Also they are used for extension leads in sizes 1 mm2 and above. Multicore cords containing an E core are suitable for a number of applications in dry and damp conditions, such as domestic appliances (washing machines, dishwashers). Leads for industrial and office equipment requiring a three-phase supply and an earth connection.
