To add to the existing range of electrical wires, Monaco introduces ‘Housegard’ - PVC insulated electrical wires, which offer added safety.

Each wire is manufactured using 99.97% pure, electrolytic grade, bright annealed bare copper with more than 100% conductivity. Better purity and conductivity of copper ensures greater saving of electrical energy and thus helps to reduce electricity bills. The conductor is made of multiple strands of finely drawn copper wires thereby offering greater flexibility which makes these wires ideal for conduit wiring.

The wires are insulated with PVC compound, specially formulated and manufactured in-house. A special grade PVC resin manufactured by the group company, Monaco Industries Limited, is used to manufacture this compound. This PVC compound has a high oxygen and temperature index. These properties help in restricting the spread of fire even at very high temperatures. This special compound also offers high insulation resistance and dielectric strength. Insulation is applied over the conductor by the process of dual extrusion using state-of-the-art extrusion lines. The outer skindetermines the colour identification while the inner layer is pure insulation which provides extra protection. All wires are subjected to high voltage spark testing to make sure that there are no weak spots in the insulation.

These ISI marked wires meet the requirements of IS 694 : 1990. This means extra protection against electrical shocks, short circuits and fires.

The company name, size of wire, voltage grade and logo are printed at regular intervals on the wire to help in easy identification as shown below.

Buy only from authorised Monaco outlets to be assured of total quality. If doubts arise about the authenticity of the purchase, please write to the company at the address given below. Send a copy of the cash memo and a metre-length sample of the cable to enable genuineness tests to be carried out in the laboratory.
