Good to knowWhat does HR FR-LSH mean?+
HR FR-LSH stands for High heat-Resistant, Flame-Retardant, Low Smoke and Halogen. It slows fire spread and minimises toxic, corrosive gases and dense smoke, while the heat resistance prevents insulation failure at high continuous operating temperatures.
Where is the Green Wire best used?+
It suits residential buildings, commercial offices, distribution boards and appliance wiring where enhanced fire safety matters. For ultra-sensitive spaces such as data centres, choose a halogen-free (HFFR) wire.
How much current can a 2.5 sq mm wire carry?+
A 2.5 sq mm copper wire safely carries about 20–25 A (up to ~5,750 W on a 230 V circuit). A 4.0 sq mm wire is rated higher, around 27–32 A.
What does 101% conductivity mean?+
The copper is ultra-high purity (99.97%) and exceeds the 100% IACS benchmark, so resistance and power loss are lower — improving energy efficiency.
Is the wire RoHS and REACH compliant?+
Yes. RoHS keeps it free of restricted heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium, and REACH confirms the chemicals used are evaluated and registered.
