    6mm integrated CPC of 16mm 6242Y used for main earth

    My adiabatic maths says that for a 16mm main conductor, assumed Ze of 0.2, 80A 88:3 CPD, k as 115.... the earth only needs to be 3.16mm therefore the 6mm in a 6242YH 16mm is more than sufficient. Anyone disagree?

    2.5mm flex or 6mm t+e

    Changing to built in double fan oven. 45A cooker switch which is supplied with 6mm from 20A mcb . Double fan oven is rated at 4.1kw. 4100/230=17.82 Would the flex be ok as it can carry up to 25A and less than a metre be used. What do you guys suggest?

    8.5 kw shower on 6mm ?

    I know this has been talked about somewhere before but what are your thoughts? I have seen the run that a re-wire would need and it isn't good!! It is not a long run and the cable comes out of the wall in the loft and staright into the 45A pull switch so not running through loads of insulation.

    6mm T&E on a 32A Cooker circuit

    Struck me recently as to why we use 6mm T&E for a 32A cooker circuit, when generally 4mm (clipped direct) would be sufficient. Is this a historical thing with BS3036 fuses?

    As the title says. Customer wants 2 extra sockets added in their kitchen and there is a redundant cooker point "available" on a 32A breaker. Using 2.5mm T & E to add the extra sockets, I'd drop the breaker to a 20A MCB but a mate says no leave it as a 32A. The extra cable run is 3 or 4...
