FAQ
Q: Where is 16mm² earth wire typically used?
A: This size is commonly used for main earthing conductors in commercial and industrial installations, earthing systems in buildings, and industrial wiring projects where higher current capacity is required compared to smaller earth wire sizes.
Q: Is this cable suitable for conduit installations?
A: Yes. The 16mm² green/yellow building wire is suitable for use in conduit, duct, and trunking, and must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules.
For medium-duty earthing runs on the same project, the 10mm² green/yellow building wire from Electra Cables is available as a step-down option.
Lighter earthing conductors for sub-circuits and residential work are covered by the6mm² green/yellow earth building wire, also from Electra Cables.
When larger section earth conductors are needed for heavy commercial switchboard work, the 25mm² green/yellow building wire handles those higher-capacity requirements.
