That matters beyond labelling: fast, unambiguous identification during installation, inspection, and fault-finding prevents an earth conductor being confused with a live or neutral core, which is one of the most common causes of a miswired protective connection. The bonding function itself depends on it — every exposed metal enclosure, gland, and extraneous conductive part (structural steel, pipework) must be traced back to the main earthing terminal to form a continuous, low-impedance path, so that under a fault an RCD or circuit breaker trips fast enough to clear the touch-voltage hazard. A conductor that is hard to identify is one that is easy to omit, damage, or disconnect during future works — the colour is what keeps that path intact and verifiable at every stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the 4.0mm² rating mean, and how do I size the earth conductor for my circuit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 4.0mm² figure is the copper conductor's cross-sectional area, which determines how much fault current it can carry momentarily without overheating before the protective device (fuse, MCB, or RCD) clears the fault. As a general principle under IEC 60364-5-54 \/ BS 7671 Table 54.7 — the basis for UAE wiring regulations — the protective\/earth conductor is sized relative to the associated line conductor: matching cross-section up to 16mm² of line conductor, then roughly half (minimum 16mm²) for larger line conductors. In this catalogue, this 4.0mm² size is typically specified as the circuit protective conductor (CPC) for final sub-circuits and consumer-unit earth connections. Always confirm the exact size against your specific circuit design, fault-current calculation, and local wiring regulations — a qualified electrical engineer or electrician should verify the value for your project.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order an exact length, and how is the price calculated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — this earth wire is sold per metre, so you can order any length to match your run (for example 37m or 158m). The listed price is per metre; enter the quantity in metres you need and we cut and supply that exact length.

The difference is purely the insulation colour and its designated function: the Building Wire range (single colours — red, blue, black, yellow) carries line and neutral conductors, while this Green\/Yellow product is manufactured and colour-coded exclusively as the protective earth\/bonding conductor. The two should never be substituted for one another on site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this need to be installed by a licensed electrician?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Earthing and bonding conductors are safety-critical fixed wiring — correct sizing, termination, and continuity testing must be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with UAE wiring regulations (based on BS 7671\/IEC 60364), including verification of earth continuity and loop impedance before the installation is energised.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"RRKabel","offers":[{"title":"Per Metre","offer_id":44128252952675,"sku":"RR-SCE-4.0-YG","price":16.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/6570\/1475\/files\/GYEARTH1_s_dbdd488f-d777-4727-8e35-25a8c012b559.jpg?v=1786966148","url":"https:\/\/www.deluxeuae.com\/products\/rr-single-core-earth-wire-4-0mm","provider":"Deluxe Electricals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
