Earth Cable

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.

How to size an earth cable

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.

This is a simplified rule of thumb. The correct earth size depends on the fault current and disconnection time for your installation. Always have a licensed electrician verify the earthing design.

The sizes side by side

Conductor resistance and strand construction per IEC 60228 class 2. Current rating is the conductor's general BS 7671 reference method C rating, 30°C ambient, PVC insulation — shown for reference; as a protective earth conductor it is not intended to carry continuous load. Verify the earthing design with a licensed electrician.
