Flat TPS Building Wire

Flat TPS (Thermoplastic-Sheathed) building wires are a type of electrical wiring commonly used in residential and commercial buildings. These wires are known for their flat construction, which makes them easy to install under plaster or within conduits and ducts. They are highly versatile and provide excellent performance for general wiring applications.

Applications

● Residential Buildings: Commonly used for wiring lighting circuits, power outlets, and general electrical installations within homes.

● Commercial Buildings: Ideal for use in offices, retail spaces, and other commercial environments where reliable and easy-to-install wiring is required.

● Domestic Appliances: Used in fixed wiring for appliances such as air conditioners, heaters, and kitchen appliances, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Covered conductor Construction

● Conductor: The conductor is typically made of solid or stranded copper, which provides good conductivity and flexibility.

● Insulation: Each conductor is insulated with thermoplastic material, usually PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), which offers excellent electrical insulation and protection.

● Sheath: The insulated conductors are collectively sheathed with a thermoplastic outer layer, providing additional protection against mechanical damage, moisture, and chemicals. The flat design of the sheath makes installation easier in tight spaces.
