PILONE CABLES TECHNICAL TEAM

Four 6 mm² class 5 copper cores — three phases and a neutral — at 84 strands of 0.30 mm each, PVC insulated and sheathed to 300/500 V. 41 A with three conductors loaded on reference method C, which is about 28 kVA on a 400 V three-phase supply. 3.30 Ω/km, roughly 213 kg of copper per kilometre of cable. Drawn on the Pilone line in Lahore.

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.

Where this cable belongs

Four cores carry three phases plus a neutral, so this is a three-phase cable, not a bigger version of the household flex. The people buying 6mm 4 core cable in the flexible build are generator installers running a tail from a set to the changeover panel, borewell fitters whose cable goes down the bore and comes back up with the pump, and site contractors feeding mixers and welding plants that shift as the work moves. At 41 A with three cores loaded it covers about 28 kVA at 400 V — the small-to-mid genset and light-machinery band. Above that, step up to 10mm 4 core flexible cable at 57 A.

Generator and changeover tails

The flexible run between a portable or skid-mounted set and the changeover panel, up to about 28 kVA on a 400 V supply.

Three-phase pump drop leads

Borewell and submersible sets, where the cable is pulled up and dropped back every time the pump comes out.

Site machinery feeds

Mixers, hoists and welding plants that get dragged to a new corner of the plot as the work moves.

Size it on current per phase, not on the set's badge. A 15 kVA generator on a 400 V three-phase supply delivers 15000 ÷ (1.732 × 400) = 22 A per phase, roughly half what this cable is tabulated for. On a 12 m tail that current drops 22 × 12 × 7.3 ÷ 1000 = 1.9 V, or 0.5% of 400 V. Load the cable to its full 41 A and the drop reaches the 5% BS 7671 allows on a power circuit — 20 V of 400 V — at about 67 m: 20000 ÷ (41 × 7.3) = 66.8. Flexible cable is also usually bought on a drum and left partly coiled, and a coiled cable under load carries less than the table says, because the heat has nowhere to go. Pay the tail out flat before you run the set.

Current capacity depends on how the cable is installed. Derate for conduit, grouping, coiling, 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 6mm 4 core flexible cable in Pakistan?
There is no fixed number. Copper cable is priced off the day's copper rate, so a figure from last month is stale. Pilone sells factory-direct from Lahore with no dealer margin. Send the length in metres and your city on WhatsApp at +92 319 4262451 and one number comes back. Ask which unit a quote is in — per metre, per foot and per coil are not comparable until you convert them.
What is 6mm 4 core flexible cable used for?
Three-phase power to equipment that moves or vibrates: generator-to-changeover tails, borewell and submersible pump drop leads, and site machinery such as mixers and welding plants. Four 6 mm² class 5 cores at 84/0.30 strands, rated 41 A clipped direct at 30°C with three conductors loaded.
How many amps does 6mm 4 core flexible cable carry?
41 A with three loaded conductors — three phases plus a neutral that carries only the imbalance — clipped direct at 30°C, per BS 7671 reference method C. The same 6 mm² copper with only two conductors loaded is tabulated at 46 A. Coiled on a drum, bunched with other cables, or in summer heat it carries less than either figure.
What size generator will 6mm 4 core flexible cable carry?
Work it from current, not from the badge on the set. At 41 A per phase on a 400 V three-phase supply the cable covers 1.732 × 400 × 41 ÷ 1000 = about 28 kVA. A 15 kVA set draws 22 A per phase, so it sits comfortably inside. Check the tail length too, and have a licensed electrician confirm the breaker.
Should I use flexible or standard cable for this connection?
Use flexible when the run flexes, coils, or feeds moving equipment — the fine class 5 stranding survives repeated bending. For fixed wiring in walls or trunking, standard cable is the normal and cheaper choice. See flexible vs solid cable.
