Earth cable connects an electrical system to the ground. When a fault sends current where it should not go, the earth cable carries it safely into the earth and lets the breaker trip.
Drawn on the Pilone line in Lahore, 6 to 35 mm². Every house, solar system, and industrial panel needs correct earthing.
Each size has its own page with the specification and the current factory rate.
A common rule: the earth conductor should match the phase conductor up to 16 mm². Above that, it can be smaller — a 16 mm² earth is typically enough for a 25 or 35 mm² phase conductor. For solar systems, see the solar earthing guide.
| Size (mm²) | Strands | R at 20°C (Ω/km) | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 7/1.04 | 3.08 | Earths phase conductors up to 6 mm² |
| 10 | 7/1.35 | 1.83 | Earths phase conductors up to 10 mm² |
| 16 | 7/1.70 | 1.15 | Earths phase conductors up to 16 mm² |
| 25 | 7/2.14 | 0.727 | Full-size earth for larger sub-mains |
| 35 | 19/1.53 | 0.524 | Main incomer and heavy sub-main earthing |
