    LED Transformer

    Sorry. You can't see the ends. But each of those white cables has one black and one red wire output. So the transformer has 2 separate outputs. Both of which gives a separate 12v output.

    Boiler Wiring

    I have had a new boiler fitted today. One of the cables used is a 3 core and earth. They have put a red sleeve on the CPC and used that as one of the cables. Is that allowed? I thought all cable runs had to have a connected cpc.

    What cables/wires for new boiler and controller

    Thanks you for the swift response. So as I understand it I need 6 core cable for the programmer. Should this be 1.0mm squared? Where can I buy 6 core cable? Do I have a very special and unique system?

    Thank you Murdoch. "All cables should have a CPC", yes just as I thought. So Should my current installation in fact be 6 core? Where can I buy 6 core? Is this normal? Or do I have some sort of special unique system?
