I was just wondering whether this is legal, or what the legal minimum is?

Hi again,

His question was why not make the startup voltage as low as possible so the inverter kicks in earlier..
I promised...

Is it OK to install a final radial circuit supplying to a small number of BS 1363 sockets (let's say 1 to 3 double sockets) in a new home with 1.5mm2 , when protected by a 10A or 13A MCB in the CU?
I am not sure whether the 2.5mm2 minimum stated in 433.1.5 would apply in this case.
Thanks in...
