PME Fault Detection Consumer Units also known as PEN Loss Consumer Units in stock now.

In electrical wiring and installations, green and yellow single conductors are typically associated with protective earthing or grounding conductors. These colors are used to indicate the connection between electrical equipment and the grounding or earthing system to provide safety by grounding electrical circuits and equipment. Here’s what you need to know about green and yellow single conductors in the context of BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations):

Color Code: In accordance with BS 7671 and other relevant electrical standards, the color green and yellow is used exclusively for protective earthing and bonding conductors. This color coding helps ensure consistency and safety in electrical installations.
Protective Earthing: Green and yellow single conductors are used to connect metal parts of electrical equipment and installations to the grounding or earthing system. This ensures that in the event of a fault, such as a short circuit or equipment failure, electrical current is safely directed into the ground, minimizing the risk of electric shock or fires.
Grounding/Bonding Conductors: These conductors are used for various grounding and bonding purposes, including:
- Bonding metal enclosures or equipment to ensure they are at the same electrical potential.
- Connecting electrical equipment to earth electrodes (ground rods) for grounding purposes.
- Grounding conductors for metal conduit or cable trays to provide a path for fault current.
- Bonding conductors for ensuring electrical continuity and safety in installations.
Sizes and Sizing: The size of green and yellow single conductors is determined based on the specific requirements of the installation, including factors such as the fault current rating and the type of equipment being grounded. BS 7671 provides guidance on conductor sizing based on the installation’s characteristics.
Insulation: Green and yellow single conductors are typically insulated with green and yellow insulation to distinguish them from other conductors within the installation. The insulation helps electricians and maintenance personnel easily identify and work with grounding conductors.
Labeling and Identification: In addition to the color coding, grounding and bonding conductors may be labeled or tagged with relevant information to indicate their purpose and connection points within the electrical system.
Testing and Verification: Grounding and bonding conductors should be tested and verified during installation to ensure they are properly connected and providing the required electrical continuity and safety.
Compliance: Compliance with BS 7671 and local electrical regulations is essential when installing and using green and yellow single conductors for protective earthing and bonding.

Green and yellow single conductors are a critical component of electrical safety systems. Their proper use and installation help protect individuals and property by ensuring that electrical faults are safely and effectively managed through grounding and bonding. It’s important to follow the color coding and safety guidelines outlined in BS 7671 and other relevant standards when working with these conductors in electrical installations.
