    connecting 4 x 6mm feeds

    Hello all, just a quick one. Could someone please recommend a suitable way of terminating 4 6mm 3 core cable in a weatherproof junction box. I was thinking 60 amp connector block but don't really like the idea of trying to jam in 4 conductors and have them all held on the same screw. My other...

    6mm Supply

    Saw a consumer unit on a top floor flat today which currently has what looks like a 6mm t+e cable as the supply on a 60a fuse. Meaning the earth is probably only 2.5mm. Now this has always been here and probably been done by the supplier i guess? Your thoughts please.

Or shall I put...

    Using a 6mm T&E to feed a Ring Main

    I'd appreciate peoples views on this, including compliance or otherwise with the regs. I've come across a 1-bed flat where one ring main serves the small kitchen, and boiler & security alarm.
