Typical use
Three-phase distribution, larger submains
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.
Where this cable belongs
Three-phase distribution
Feeder runs carrying three phases and neutral.
Larger submains
Meter-to-board runs above the load a 10mm conductor can carry.
Mid-size solar strings
Array-to-inverter runs where DC/AC current calls for a larger conductor.
Current capacity with two loaded conductors, BS 7671 reference method C, 30°C ambient. Same class 2 aluminium construction in every size.
Frequently asked
What is the price of 16mm aluminium cable in Pakistan?
The price moves with the daily aluminium and copper rates, so we quote it the day you order. We sell factory-direct from Lahore, with no dealer margin on top. Message us on WhatsApp for today's price per meter.
What is 16mm aluminium cable used for?
Three-phase distribution feeders and larger submains. It carries 66 A with two loaded conductors on method C, and 59 A with three loaded conductors.
Should I use copper instead of 16mm aluminium cable?
Aluminium is lighter and lower-cost per run but needs a larger cross-section than copper for the same current. Our 16mm 2 core standard copper cable is rated 85 A on the same method, so it carries more current at the same nominal size. See copper vs aluminium cable.
