SRML Wire Description:
SRML wire stands for "Silicone Rubber Motor Lead" wire and is often used in various industrial settings where flexible wire with high temperature resistance is needed. SRML wire is used as motor lead wire for hazardous locations. Depending on its conductor size, this wire can be rated to either 150°C or 200°C, but it has an overall voltage rating of 600V. It can also be used as a lead wire for electrical equipment in high-temperature environments. SRML wire performs well where flexibility and fire resistance are important.
SRML Wire Construction
Conductors: Stranded soft drawn tinned coated copper conductor per ASTM B-33 and B-8
Insulation: Extruded silicone rubber insulation suitable for UV, ozone, and moisture exposure
Jacket: Braided fiberglass with a high temperature finish impregnated with a moisture, heat and flame resistant compound
Color Code: Available in colors or striped combinations

SRML Wire Application
SRML wire is prized for being flexible, durable, and heat-resistant. A few of the many typical high risk industrial applications for SRML wire are:
The winding of either motors and or transformers, because heavy heat is produced.
Lead wire for industrial machine, used diverse environments which is flex because these wires are exposed the danger and the corrosion when them are working.
Wires for Ovens and Furnances, the heat resistance and flexibility of SRML wire has seen widespread use as internal wiring in appliances such as clothes washers, dryers, stoves, and refrigerators.
SRML is most commonly used as a motor lead wire, however, it may also be found in other automotive applications.
SRML wire is also widely used in the energy sector. Power generation and distribution equipment,Solar panels, Wind turbines,Oil and Gas Industrial equipment.
