FG16OR16 3G cable by the metre with yellow-green earth, 3G1.5 to 3G10, CPR 0.6/1kV
FG16OR16 three-core cable with yellow-green conductor, sold by the metre and cut to length. It is the flexible power cable for 230V single-phase lines: phase, neutral and earth in one sheath.
In storage systems we use it to connect inverters and inverter/chargers (Victron Quattro and MultiPlus, Deye, etc.) to the shore power inlet, the generator and the distribution boards. Suitable for outdoor and underground installation.
