???? DIY Installation Guide

Measure and cut the required cable length using a proper cable cutter.

Carefully strip the outer sheath to expose the three insulated conductors.

Identify wires – Brown (Live), Blue (Neutral), Green/Yellow (Earth).

Fit copper lugs or terminals to the conductors for a secure connection.

Tighten all terminals and insulate joints appropriately.

Test the circuit with a multimeter before connecting to power.

⚠️ Do’s and Don’ts

Do:
✅ Use appropriate conduit or trunking for protection.
✅ Match the cable size with the rated current load.
✅ Label each line during installation for maintenance clarity.

Don’t:
❌ Exceed the rated current or voltage capacity.
❌ Install in wet areas without protective casing.
❌ Twist or crush the cable when routing.
