Hi,
I'd planned to use 10mm see to supply an annex protected by a Wylex 60a switchfuse.
Cable calls suggest that 10mm swa ref method d is good for 60a, even when using the 70deg tables.
Instructions with the Wylex switchfuse state that termination are only good for 16 to 35mm cables...
Argument at work!
on an EICR its common to find a 9.5kW shower wired in 6.0mm T/E with a 40 amp MCB.
obviously a code 2 unless short run and clipped direct?
Our argument is whether to down rate MCB to a 32amp or rewire the circuit in 10mm?
I say ok to down rate the MCB as
cable is 32amp IEE say...
Is there anything on the market that will ease the connection of this ridiculous cable & size.
At the moment us nutties are struggling to connect into a 45 amp cooker switch,fixed on a fast fix 2g box,then struggling with a cable outlet connection,are we mad or what.
Something is gonna bust,madness.
changed and upgraded my dad's shower supply as his new shower is too powerful for his existing 6mm
He has a 45amp double pole switch in the spare bedroom which is the means of isolation so for ease of installation iv used the same switch. However I'm finding it really difficult putting the...
Hi all,
I've got a 10mm cable exiting the house (on the left), and an existing 2.5mm cable running to the garage (on the right).
I want to replace the 2.5mm with 10mm swa, and have a wispa box to form the junction, questions are
Do I terminate the 10mm t&e as it exits the house into the...
Hi all,
Edit: sorry I meant 6242hy
I am moving house on Friday (Lancing to Sompting , so not far) and since I don't really work in this industry any longer, I no longer have need for some twin and CPC, so if anyone is local to West Sussex and can collect it before the end of Wednesday evening...
Hi all. Just to see your opinions on this.
Started work on a local authority housing job. Wiring showers in highflats.
The spec is 2 way rcd enclosure with 40a mcb and the other way blanked off.
We are to use 10mm tails into henleys. 25mm tails in use for cu and 100a main fuse.
I say we...
Afternoon all been a while since I've posted.
at today's job I noticed 10mm meter tails with 6mm bonding and although my first thoughts were tails should be min 16mm and bonding 10mm
so at the risk of sounding stupid I couldn't find the exact reason why this was wrong as the 10mm would take...
A mate is clearing out his garage and asked me if I wanted 30 + metres of 10mm 4 core SWA on a wooden spool.
LOL I don't know if I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth, or being a donkey carting 5 quids worth of scrap.
Could I use it to power my shed ?
1. By just terminating one of the cores...
Hi all
in preparation for starting my electricians work, i'm making myself a cable carrier out of some scrap steel i have lying about.
just something to hold the reels and let it spool whilst i'm pulling it through.
my question is, how big is a 10mm T&E reel (50m & 100m) ?
not had the chance to...

The main house has a 10mm oil pipe feeding an AGA and a boiler ( I can only gain access to the aga pipe),this is being fed from one oil tank,the second oil tank feeds another boiler at the other end of the house...
Hi all
What's everyone's choice of box for connected two 10mm t&e for a shower or cooker circuit?
IMO a single isolator in a kitchen looks smarter than a double isolator.
However, it's easier to terminate in a double.
Got a drum of swa up for sale. Surplus to requirements. Still on drum and wrapped up. I work all over country so possibility of delivery. Just ask. Based on Stockport at weekends £130 and a bargain at that
So, I'll start by saying that my knowledge of the regulations surrounding lightning protection systems are limited, it simply isn't work that we as a company carry out as we leave it to the specialists.
During an EICR I find what looks to be an old aerial pole on the roof of the building, looks...
Morning everyone,

Just a a quick question. We have been asked to quote for a HMO conversion, in a domestic property. So basically, the developer buys these houses and makes rooms out if them.

Hi,
I've been asked to change a CU in a converted one-bed flat immediately above the cellar which contains the TNS supply. The existing CU is currently supplied by a 6m run of clipped direct 10mm T&E protected by a 63A switch-fuse in the cellar. It's a small flat, haven't worked out maximum...
