Specifications

Resistance per IEC 60228. Current capacity uses BS 7671 method C (clipped direct), 30°C ambient, as the nearest published reference for a two-conductor DC run, the positive and return pair — actual solar-circuit ampacity depends on run length, grouping, and your inverter or charge-controller rating. Verify sizing with a licensed electrician or your solar installer.
Property	Value
Conductor	Plain annealed copper, class 5 flexible stranded
Nominal area	25 mm² × 1 core
Strand construction	196 / 0.40 mm
Max conductor resistance at 20°C	0.78 Ω/km
Current capacity (two loaded conductors — DC positive and return)	112 A
Voltage drop	1.75 mV/A/m
Voltage rating	1000 V DC
Insulation / sheath	PVC / PVC, 70°C conductor rating
Conductor copper weight	≈ 222.3 kg/km
Reference standards	IEC 60228 (conductors), IEC 60227 (PVC cables)

This is the standard PVC-insulated construction, 70°C conductor rating. An XLPE/PVC construction rated to 90°C is also available for exposed outdoor runs — ask when you message us.

Voltage drop on a 25 mm² solar run

On a DC circuit the current goes out on the positive and back on the negative. At this cable's 1.75 mV/A/m, the volts lost over a one-way run are:

Volts lost on 25 mm² DC cable, positive and return, at 1.75 mV/A/m.
Current	10 m run	20 m run	30 m run
50 A	0.88 V	1.75 V	2.63 V
63 A	1.10 V	2.21 V	3.31 V
80 A	1.40 V	2.80 V	4.20 V
100 A	1.75 V	3.50 V	5.25 V

The same loss matters more at low voltage: 1.75 V over a 10 m run at 100 A is 3.6% of a 48 V battery bank but 0.44% of a 400 V panel string. Check the loss limit your inverter maker gives, or work it through the voltage drop calculator.

Size	Current capacity	Voltage drop	Copper per 100 m
16 mm²	85 A	2.8 mV/A/m	14.2 kg
25 mm² (this cable)	112 A	1.75 mV/A/m	22.2 kg
35 mm²	138 A	1.25 mV/A/m	31.1 kg

Frequently asked

What is the price of 25mm DC cable in Pakistan?

The price moves with the daily copper rate, 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 25mm DC cable used for?

DC feeder runs on commercial solar installations with larger arrays. It is rated 112 A on the BS 7671 method C reference and 1000 V DC.

Can I get 25mm DC cable delivered?

Yes. We dispatch from Lahore — courier for single coils, transport for bulk. Punjab arrives in 1–2 days, the rest of Pakistan in 2–4 days. See delivery details.
