    6mm earthing conductor

    Seen something today while performing a fire alarm test at a relatively sized office that struck me as strange. Thought there was no better place to query it than here. Like I said decent sized office, 3 phase tn-c-s supply can't really say too much more about the installation because this...

    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.

    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. The unusual thing is that the ends of the ring are then connected to a single 6mm T&E that runs back to...
