Mains Cables

Safe and Reliable 240V Mains Cables for Caravans and RVs

Building a robust 240 volt electrical system requires the right wiring to ensure safety and compliance. Our range of 240V mains cables is specifically selected for off-grid, marine, and mobile applications, including caravans, campervans, and tiny homes. Whether you are wiring a complete 240V AC cable network from scratch or simply need plug-and-play caravan mains leads, we supply high-quality electrical wire designed to withstand the unique vibrations and movements of mobile travel.

Unlike rigid household wiring, a caravan electrical cable must be highly flexible. This flexibility prevents internal copper strands from fracturing over time on corrugated roads. By selecting the correct flexible mains power cable, you protect your system against electrical faults and ensure a steady supply to your 240V equipment and onboard appliances.

Flexible 240V Wiring and Connection Leads

Our selection includes premium Electra Cables in a 2.5mm² 2 core plus earth configuration. Available as both continuous 100m rolls and convenient mains cable by the metre, this black flexible mains cable is ideal for custom wiring runs inside caravan walls and cabinetry. The durable outer sheathing protects the internal 240 volt electrical wire from abrasion, making it an excellent choice for demanding installations in trucks, boats, and RVs.

For modular power systems, we also stock a comprehensive range of CMS connection leads. These "C" style electrical cables range from short 150mm patch leads up to 5m lengths, allowing for rapid plug-and-play connections between 240V power outlets and distribution boards. We also offer CMS RCD safety switches with earth leads to integrate crucial circuit protection directly into your modular mains setup.

How to choose guidance for your 240V system

Selecting the correct mains electric cable is critical for a safe installation. Keep the following specifications and purchase criteria in mind when planning your system:

• Cable Flexibility: Always choose multi-stranded flexible 240V wire over solid core household wiring to prevent work-hardening and breakage during travel.
• Conductor Sizing: Ensure the wire gauge (such as 2.5mm²) is rated for your maximum anticipated load, typically factoring in heavy-draw appliances like air conditioners and travel ovens.
• Connection Style: Decide whether your installation requires hardwiring from a roll, or if a modular system using pre-terminated CMS connection cables will simplify your build.
• System Protection: Always plan for appropriate safety devices, including circuit breakers, fuses, and switches, to protect your wiring from overcurrent conditions.
