Ceramics Equipment
Wiring for kilns and ceramics equipment.
We start from AGR silicone single-core wire: fine-stranded tinned copper with silicone rubber insulation, 0.3 mm² to 16 mm², rated −60 °C (−76°F) to +180 °C (356°F) continuous and +200 °C (392°F) short-term in fixed installation.
AT A GLANCE
Ceramics equipment wiring at a glance
Each ceramics-equipment connection and the silicone cable we start from.
| Connection | Cable construction | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| Kiln-adjacent equipment wiring | AGR silicone single-core wire | Outside the firing chamber; +180 °C (356°F) continuous at the wire |
| Equipment internal leads | AGR silicone single-core wire, 0.3 mm² to 16 mm² | Colour identification; no outer sheath |
| Control and drive interfaces | Multicore or screened silicone cable, built to your drawing | Specified separately from single-core leads |
CONNECTION TASKS
Ceramics equipment wiring
AGR silicone wire is used in the ceramics industry. Keep the wire outside the firing chamber and within its temperature limits.
SINGLE-CORE CONNECTIONS
Equipment internal leads
Specify wire size, insulation diameter, colour identification and terminal arrangement for the equipment drawing.
Standard AGR construction
SEPARATE CIRCUITS
Control and drive interfaces
Identify signal, power or drive duty. Submit screened, multicore and moving connections as separate requirements.
Built to your drawing
SELECTION CHECKS
Operating conditions to specify
Include these conditions with your enquiry so we can select the right cable.
Thermal boundary
The wire route relative to the kiln, with its actual local temperature and duration, sets the thermal requirement.
Enclosure & protection
The covered route, supports, ventilation and any mechanical exposure decide how the wire is protected.
Circuit details
Conductor size, voltage, current, terminals and the required product documents complete the specification.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Frequently asked questions
Can this wire be installed in the firing chamber?
Firing-chamber suitability is not specified in the AGR datasheet. The wire is rated up to +180 °C (356°F) continuously and +200 °C (392°F) short-term at its installed position.
Are all ceramics-equipment connections single core?
No. AGR is a single-core wire. Multicore and screened connections use different cable constructions.
Which AGR sizes suit ceramics-equipment leads?
AGR is listed from 0.3 mm² to 16 mm², with outside diameters from 1.8 mm to 8.0 mm. Sizes from 0.5 mm² are rated U0/U 300/500 V.
