???? Maintenance Tips & How to Extend Service Life

To maximize the service life of your Macire 0.75 mm 3 Core Flex Cable:

✔️ Avoid Sharp Bends / Kinks – Limit bending radius to avoid conductor stress or insulation damage.

✔️ Keep Away from Heat Sources – Avoid routing near heaters, hot pipes or direct sunlight which may degrade PVC.

✔️ Store Properly Before Use – Keep the roll in a dry, cool place, away from damp or chemical exposure.

✔️ Inspect Insulation Regularly – Check for cuts, abrasion or discolouration and replace damaged sections.

✔️ Use Within Current Limits – 0.75 mm² is for light duty; avoid overloading to prevent overheating.

✔️ Secure Cable Runs – Use clips, trunking or conduits to protect the cable in exposed areas.

???? DIY Installation Guide

???? Measure the required length and add ~10-15% extra for slack and future access.

✂️ Cut the cable from the roll using proper cable cutters; avoid damaging the sheath.

???? Strip the outer sheath carefully, exposing the three insulated cores.

????️ Identify and strip each conductor (Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Earth).

???? Route the cable through conduit/trunking as required, clipping securely at ~300-400 mm intervals.

???? Terminate at switches, fixtures or sockets according to local colour-code wiring practices.

✅ Test continuity and insulation resistance before energising the circuit.

???? After installation, ensure the cable is not under mechanical strain or subject to pinch/abrasion points.

???? Do’s and Don’ts

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What kind of load can a 0.75 mm² cable carry safely?
A1: While this depends on installation conditions (length, ambient temp, insulation, grouping), 0.75 mm² is suitable for light loads such as lighting circuits, fans or small appliances — typically lower current ratings (e.g., around 5-6 A under ideal conditions). Kreatives.co.ke+1

Q2: Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
A2: Generally not. The 0.75 mm² 3-core flex cable is intended for indoor, protected installations. For outdoor, direct-burial or exposed use, a cable rated for outdoor exposure is preferable.

Q3: Why buy a 90 m roll instead of shorter lengths?
A3: The 90 m roll gives flexibility — fewer joins (which are weak points), better value per metre, and the flexibility to serve multiple circuits or longer runs from one roll without having to switch rolls.

Q4: Is this wire genuine East African Cables brand?
A4: Yes — East African Cables is a reputable manufacturer in East/Central Africa with plants in Kenya and Tanzania, ISO 9001 certification and a strong track record. Scribd+1

Q5: Can Macire supply other sizes?
A5: Yes — Macire offers a range of flex cables from 0.5 mm² up to larger sizes (1.0 mm², 1.5 mm², 2.5 mm² etc) for different load applications. Fedi Office Supplies
