1.5mm 4 Core Flexible Cable

4.8/5 · 127 buyer ratings

Four 1.5 mm² class 5 conductors in one sheath — three phases plus neutral, or three control circuits plus a common, without pulling four separate wires. 30 strands of 0.25 mm per core, PVC to 300/500 V, tabulated at 17.5 A with three loaded conductors on method C at 30°C. That is about 12 kVA on a 400 V three-phase supply. Panel builders, pump installers and event crews buy this size: it is the smallest four core that still takes a proper crimp and survives being rolled up every week.

Check the coil before you pay for it

Every coil leaves our factory with a QR code printed on the packaging. Scan it and the factory record for that batch opens: brand, cable size, batch number, year of manufacture and conductor. Compare the batch number on screen with the one printed on your coil — if the two do not match, it did not come from us.

Specifications

Conductor resistance per IEC 60228 class 5. Current capacity and voltage drop per BS 7671, installation reference method C (clipped direct), 30°C ambient, PVC insulation. Derate for conduit, bundling, and higher ambient temperature. Verify sizing with a licensed electrician for your installation.

Voltage drop is current × length × 29 mV/A/m ÷ 1000. A panel circuit drawing 10 A over a 25 m run drops 10 × 25 × 29 ÷ 1000 = 7.25 V, which is 1.8% of 400 V — comfortably inside the 5% BS 7671 allows on a power circuit, 20 V here. At the cable's full 17.5 A that same 20 V arrives at 20 000 ÷ (17.5 × 29) = 39 m. Past 39 m at full load the run length picks the size, not the current.

Where this cable belongs

Control panel and contactor wiring

Runs between panels, contactors, timers and small drives, where four separate wires would be four times the labour and four times the glanding.

Small three-phase pump leads

Borewell and booster pumps drawing under 17.5 A per phase — three phases plus earth on one flexible tail from the starter.

Stage, event and workshop rigs

Gear that is coiled, carried and re-rigged. Class 5 stranding takes that repeated bending; class 2 conductors harden and crack at the flex point.

Who buys this size: switchgear and panel shops, pump installers, and the event and workshop trade. The circuit it suits is a small three-phase one — a 400 V motor or panel feed under 17.5 A per phase — or a single-phase run that needs a spare core for a switch line or a pilot. For a fixed run inside conduit that never moves, the class 2 standard build costs less for the same copper and pulls in easier; class 5 earns its price only where the cable bends after installation. Above 17.5 A per phase, step up: 2.5mm 4 core flexible cable at 24 A is the next one we make, then 4mm 4 core flexible cable at 32 A.

Current capacity depends on how the cable is installed. Derate for conduit, grouping, and high ambient temperature. Have a licensed electrician confirm the size for your load and run length — or start with the cable size calculator.

Frequently asked

What is the price of 1.5mm 4 core flexible cable in Pakistan?
There is no fixed number to publish — four-core copper is priced off the day's copper rate and the figure moves week to week. We sell factory-direct from Lahore with no dealer margin. Send the length in metres and your city on WhatsApp at +92 319 4262451 for today's per-metre rate.
What is 1.5mm 4 core flexible cable used for?
Control panel and contactor wiring, small three-phase pump leads, and portable multi-circuit equipment such as stage and workshop rigs — anywhere four circuits would otherwise mean four separate runs. Tabulated at 17.5 A with three loaded conductors, method C at 30°C.
How many amps does 1.5mm 4 core cable carry?
17.5 A with three loaded conductors, clipped direct at 30°C, per BS 7671 reference method C — about 12 kVA on a 400 V three-phase supply (1.732 × 400 × 17.5 ÷ 1000). Inside conduit, bundled with other cables, or in a hot plant room it carries less, so the tabulated figure is multiplied by the correction factor for the installation.
Can 1.5mm 4 core run a three-phase motor?
Only a small one. The cable is tabulated at 17.5 A per phase, so the motor's full-load current from its rating plate — not a horsepower figure off a catalogue — has to sit under that, with starting current and run length checked as well. For anything larger, go up the ladder: we make the same class 5 build in 2.5mm and 4mm 4 core.
Should I use flexible or solid cable here?
Flexible class 5 cable is for equipment that moves, vibrates, or needs repeated bending — panels, pump leads, portable gear. Fixed, permanent circuits in walls or conduit are usually wired with solid or class 2 stranded cable instead, which costs less for the same copper.
