Mains connection cable and the cross-section: a crucial detail

When selecting mains connection cables, also known as power connection cables, it is important to consider the cable cross-section. Normally, three-pole mains connection cables for 10A have a cross-section of 0.75mm² up to a length of 2 metres. As soon as the cable length exceeds the 2 metre mark, the cross-section of the power connection cable increases to 1mm² and further increases to 1.5mm² for cable lengths of 5 metres or more.

Regulation of cable cross-sections for power supply cables: a globally recognised standard

It is important to know that a smaller cross-section than these standards is not permitted for power connection cables in most countries for safety reasons. These cross-section standards guarantee sufficient performance for the everyday use of mains connection cables, but only offer the minimum level of safety and efficiency.

High-performance mains connection cables: more than just the essentials

For those who are not satisfied with 'enough' and are looking for above-average performance from their power connection cables, we offer an extended option. Our range includes mains connection cables with C13 plugs, which have a cross-section of 1.5mm² from a length of 1.80 metres. These high-performance mains connection cables therefore offer more than the standardised quality - they exceed the minimum requirements.
