Green wires are a safe choice for residential and commercial installations

Green wires are a safe choice  for residential and commercial  installations
.

Contemporary electrical wires and cables have always been equipped with fire retardancy. Almost every wire used today in the industrial and domestic sectors offers basic  levels  of flame retardance and safety from the propagation of flames. While this level of protection is essential for every project and household, the chemicals  used while manufacturing these materials are toxic and contaminate land and water tables. A normal flameretardant wire, when exposed  to a flame, produces smoke that is thick, opaque, and full of toxic fumes that poison and suffocate. While wires exist that have thick smoke, these are nevertheless hazardous due to the poisonous  fumes they produce and the hazardous chemicals they are made of. Thus, with the introduction of green wires, which lack carcinogenic materials, the occupants can  stay safe from the risk of cancer.

Polycab Green Wire is a building wire manufactured by Polycab India Ltd. that offers far higher degrees of safety while being non-toxic and eco-friendly. The copper conductor used in Polycab green wire is crafted  from 99.97 per cent pure electrolytic grade copper and is equipped with specially designed insulation with a heat  resistance of 85 degrees centigrade. The ordinary PVC wires with a heat resistance of 70 degrees centigrade.  This gives Polycab green wire a higher current carrying capacity. An ordinary single-core unsheathed cable in 1100V grade with a nominal conductor area of 6 sq mm has a current carrying capacity of 37A; for this exact  specification, our company’s green wire has a 20 per cent higher current carrying capacity of 44.4A.
