    2.5mm ring with 40amp cb quandry

    Hello All Recently did a pir and found a 2 ring circuits wired through a 40amp c/b one in 4.0mm and one in 2.5mm I feel that the 4.0 mm is acceptable and tradition would say that 2.5 is wrong but thinking about it if a 2.5 has a cuurent capacity of 24amps then on a ring circuit with half the...

    Conduit for 2.5mm T&E Ring main

    Hi all, I am currently fixing up a room in my house and after removing some built in bookshelves found that that wiring for the single socket in the room was surface mounted on the walls. Given I'm doing a fair amount of plastering in the room I would like to re-route the wires through my loft...

    multi strand 2.5mm T&E - is it OK to use?

    Hi, I've been working in a relatively new house (approx 5 years old) and the kitchen ring is wired with 2.5mm, twin and earth in which both the line and protective conductors are multistranded. Is this OK to use? I've never come across it on 2.5mm cable and they have nuisance tripping on this...

    2.5mm bonding

    Carrying out a PIR on a large retail outlet I checked the bonding to the pipes under the sink in the kitchen area which were cross bonded with 2.5mm. What is the minimum size the cross bonding should be? The main earth to the board is 100mm!!!

    2.5mm and 4mm in same ring - acceptable?

    As per the title. And if so, what would you put on the schedule of test results? (One end of the ring is 2.5mm and the other 4mm - so it is obvious at the CCU). I am assuming it is 4mm. It is old colours (black and red) and the conductors are stranded so I'm thinking it's not 2.5mm. The...

    2.5mm radial

    I have a basement that has 2 rooms. 1 has power and the other has not. I installed a 2.5mm ring in the room with no power, comprising of 8 double sockets. When I went to add these to the ring in the other room I discovered that there is no ring, it is actually a 4mm radial circuit on a 30 amp...

    Hello chaps Did a visual safety check at a house today. All seems ok, except for the lighting circuit. Who ever installed/re-wired the system has used 2.5mm cable.....to me it seems a bit overkill, but could this be used to try and cover an issue that its previously had. Is this ok? Not...

    32A mcb on a 2.5mm cable

    Just wanted to see if I'm being a bit too 'picky' but I've come across a few installations recently which have a 32A mcb for a radial circuit using only 2.5mm cable for which the current carrying capacity is approx 26A. I've been picking it up but it seems to be quite common. What do others do...
