Is this the right one for you?

Check these five things before you order:

• The circuit current is within 16.2 A enclosed in conduit or 18.5 A clipped direct (catalogue ratings for two cables in single phase, 40 °C ambient).
• You are wiring lighting and ceiling-fan circuits.
• You are wiring a large site and want 180 m packs of the 85 °C low-smoke Green Wire construction.
• A 180 m pouch suits the job (the same construction is also sold in 90 m coils).
• If the load does not fit: for a lighter circuit, Polycab Green Wire 1 sq mm (12.7 A in conduit); for a heavier one, Polycab Green Wire 2.5 sq mm (22 A).
