Hi guys, Need advice on sizing a cable for a temp supply. Am thinking of using SWA but not having used this type of cable much on domestics im not to familiar with its current carrying capacities .Are they similar to T+E? Any advice appreciated.

it's all in OSG.tables look under SWA. CCC of SWA is similar to T/E.
The BGB and OSG will both have the info you require.
i know. that's why i said similar, close but not the same.

Have got a house that's up for rewire when its finished being extended. The mains position is inside the house at the moment cutout with 80A main fuse, meter and cu in kitchen cupboard. Northern power grid are moving the cutout from inside the house into a new external meter cupboard on the new extension wall. So I suspect I will be left with a shiny new cutout with 100A main fuse and a self connect isolator. Need to temp a cable from there to original position to get power back on until its time for the rewire. Was going to use a 16mm T+E and separate earth but think it will be a pig to protect it so hence the SWA.
Use the SWA, solves loads of problems all round.
Making off the glands on the SWA is not this issue that's quite within my capabilities , it was the size of the cable that was the query?
Im inclined to agree SWA is the better cable to make it builder proof.
you'd need to enclose it in scaffold tube to make it builder proof.:death:
And whats the reason for that, just because I don't spend my days slinging 160mm four cores on cable basket im a D.I.Y'er now ? Im assuming the hummble ("house basher" ) is below the scope of this forum then?

Just on the basis none of your posts have demonstrated much competence, knowledge or experience!
Tel I like that one .
But do you honestly think that would still be enough to keep the common lesser spotted hairy arsed knuckle draggers away from their natural prey ( shiny shiny magic stringy thing , ugg ugg ) !
