Twin & Earth TPS Cable

Twin & Earth TPS Cable

As an Australian professional electrician or electrical contractor, you might already know what TPS cables are, but for those you don’t know, TPS stands for “Thermoplastic-Sheathed Cable.” This type of cable is used in residential and commercial areas for wiring applications. TPS cables are mostly made from a PVC insulation layer that is further wrapped around two or three copper conductors. At AGM Electrical Supplies, we understand how important reliable and durable TPS cables can be during an installation process; therefore, we offer you Twin and Earth TPS cables in one place.

Significance of Colored TPS Cables in Australia:

In Australia, each color in a TPS Electrical Cable tells you what the wire is used for. Here’s a quick guide:

Red Wire – Active (Live)

  • Carries the electric power from the source.
  • It’s the “hot” wire that brings electricity into your lights, appliances, etc.
  • These wire colors follow the AS/NZS 3000:2018 standard (also called the Australian Wiring Rules).
  • They help electricians quickly and safely identify and connect each wire.
  • Following these color rules helps reduce the risk of electric shocks, fires, and accidents.
  • Using standard colors also ensures your wiring meets legal safety codes in Australia.

Black Wire – Neutral

  • Sends the electricity back to where it came from.
  • It completes the electrical circuit.

  Green with Yellow Stripe – Earth (Ground)

  • Keeps you safe by sending extra electricity into the ground.
  • Helps prevent shocks or fires if something goes wrong.

Product Variants:

AGM Electrical supplies Twin & Earth TPS cables in multiple sizes to cater to different current-carrying requirements:

  • 1.5mm²: Ideal for lighting circuits.
  • 2.5mm²: Commonly used for general power outlets.
  • 4mm²: Suitable for higher load applications like air conditioning units.
  • 6mm²: Used for heavy-duty appliances such as ovens and cooktops.

You can get each size in 100-meter rolls. This amount of length is perfect for various projects, and you won’t have to worry about running out!

Why Color-Coding Matters?

You should know that these color codes are set by Australian standards to help keep electrical work safe. When you follow them, it’s easier to connect the right wires in a TPS cable and avoid electrical problems. It also helps you follow the legal safety rules in Australia.
