What it is

A 2.5mm² 2 core + earth flexible power cable to AS/NZS 3808, rated 250/440V AC with V-90 PVC insulation and sheath. The bright orange colour is Australia's standard trade identification for mains AC power cable, so it stands out against building wire, data cable and lower-voltage control wiring on site or in a switchboard.

Stranded copper conductors sit under 0.8mm V-90 PVC insulation with a 1.1mm outer sheath, finishing at roughly 10mm outer diameter. The V-90 rating means the insulation stays stable at up to 90°C continuous. Cable is sold per metre so runs can be cut to length instead of buying a whole 100m drum.

Sized for 20A final sub-circuit wiring: power points, lighting circuits and fixed appliances from a switchboard, all protected by a 20A maximum circuit breaker. Not a submains cable, not a main-tails cable, and not certified for electric-vehicle high-voltage traction work despite the orange colour.

⚡ Regulated mains-voltage cable, licensed installation required: AS/NZS 3808 flexible cord. Installation into a fixed wiring system must be done by a licensed electrical contractor under AS/NZS 3000, no DIY. Elevate is a licensed electrical contractor (EC17073, Building & Energy WA); bring the job to us or use any other currently-licensed sparky. Not certified for electric or hybrid vehicle high-voltage traction wiring despite the orange colour: EV-HV needs cable specifically rated and certified for that use, fitted by an EV-qualified auto-electrician.

Final sub-circuits from a switchboard to power points, lights and fixed appliances
Portable extension leads / appliance leads where AS/NZS 3808 flexible cord is approved for the specific portable use
In 16mm orange conduit for extra mechanical protection or trenched runs
Submains — conductors between switchboards need heavier cable (6-25mm² depending on load); NOT rated for submains
Consumer mains / main tails — use specifically rated main-tails cable
Any load above 20A — use heavier cable protected by a matching circuit breaker
Electric/hybrid vehicle high-voltage traction wiring — mains-rated AC, not EV-HV certified
Automotive 12V/24V DC circuits — use SAE J1128 automotive primary wire (TXL or GXL) instead

Q: Is this cable suitable for wiring an EV or hybrid's high-voltage battery system?
No. Despite the orange colour, this is a standard AS/NZS 3808 mains-rated (250/440V AC) power cable — it isn't tested, insulated or certified to the specification required for electric or hybrid vehicle high-voltage traction wiring. That work needs cable specifically rated and certified for automotive HV use, fitted by an EV-qualified auto-electrician.

Q: What does "V-90 PVC" mean?
V-90 is the temperature rating code for PVC insulation — it means the insulation and sheath are rated for continuous operation at up to 90°C. Standard PVC (V-75) is rated lower, so V-90 gives more heat headroom where the cable runs near other equipment or in a warmer switchboard.

Q: What does 250/440V mean?
250V is the rated voltage to earth (each conductor to earth) and 440V is the rated voltage between conductors (phase to phase) — the standard way Australian flexible cords are rated. It tells you the insulation is designed to safely handle single-phase 230-240V and three-phase 400V AC systems.

Q: Is this cable suitable for automotive 12V or 24V DC wiring?
It'll carry DC current fine electrically, but it's built and rated as an AC mains cable, not automotive-spec wire. For vehicle wiring, SAE-rated automotive primary wire is the right choice — it's designed for the automotive environment (fuel/oil resistance, vibration, temperature cycling) that mains cable isn't tested against.

Q: How is this sold?
Sold per metre — order the length you need.
