How to Use
- Select the gauge matching your circuit's load — for whole-home projects, the 180m coil reduces the number of joints needed versus shorter coils.
- Use colour-coded wires to keep wiring identifiable for future repairs.
- Run wire through conduit or casing-capping, avoiding sharp bends that stress the insulation.
- Have a licensed electrician terminate and test all connections before energising the circuit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from Polycab's Green Wire 180m range?
This is a standard FR-LF wire without the additional low-smoke-halogen (LSH) and heat-resistant (HR) properties of the Green Wire line — a straightforward, cost-effective choice for standard wiring where LSH/HR isn't specifically required.
Which gauge do I need for my project?
Most homes use 1.5 sq mm for lighting and 2.5 sq mm for sockets, with 4-6 sq mm reserved for kitchen/heavy-load circuits — confirm exact sizing with your electrician based on your load calculation.
