Electra Flat TPS cable
Flat TPS is widely used as general wiring cable where the installation method and electrical design call for this construction. Electra flat TPS products stocked by Ideal include two-core plus earth and other core configurations across common conductor sizes. Electra's flat TPS technical documentation lists product-specific construction and standards information; always check the datasheet for the exact product before specifying or installing cable.
Cable standards and technical information
Cable selection and compliance are product-specific. Selected Electra Cable technical documents reference applicable AS/NZS and IEC standards, including Electra flat TPS documentation that references AS/NZS 5000.2 and conductor requirements to AS/NZS 1125. Ratings, construction, installation conditions and compliance can differ between cable families, so the relevant product page and datasheet should be used as the source of truth for the cable being specified.
When choosing cable, consider the installation method, conductor size, number of cores, current-carrying requirements, voltage drop, environmental conditions and any project-specific requirements. Cable should be selected and installed in accordance with the applicable New Zealand electrical requirements by appropriately qualified people.
