    2 x t&e for 3 phase isolator

    Hi All! Came across this yesterday and just wanted to get others opinion. 3 phase isolator wired in 6mm twin and earth x 2, i'm guessing it's not against regs? Obviously not the best way to do it but would anybody pull this on EICR? It's wired in 25mm pvc conduit on 32a breaker, assume they...

    Whats the most flexible 2.5 T&E available . Cannot run singles on the Job .

    Not sure if brands change quality every year....but sometimes I find Doncaster excellent and then "meh" . Last lot of Prysmian was also a bit "meh" when using auto strippers .

    Connectors for T&E to Singles.

    I’ve a job to do at home. I’ve a feed that connects my house to the garage consumer unit. The cable is in 10mm T&E. I’m replacing the conduit for galvanised and spraying it white to match the render. I was thinking where it exits the house in an end box rather than struggle with the T&E I was...

    Looking for advice for working with LSZH T&E cable

    Hi, I'm looking for advice for working with LSZH T&E cable. Is it common practice to warm the cable with a heat gun to make it easier to work with before running/dressing the cable?. Any tips for working with this cable?. Thanks!

    EICR in Flat - cross-connected circuits, T&E tails, composite earth

    I'm practising EICRs on friendly locations as I'm still in training - technically done my 2391-52 but frankly need loads more practise. I've just done an EICR on a flat and a few things that I didn't know how to code/address came up: 1) How do you code (and look for) inter-connected circuits? I...

    New T&E cable...

    Seen a couple of videos with Doncaster cables now producuing a T&E with the CPC already sleeved so no need to fit our own. I also read somewhere that this will soon become the norm and will have to be installed to comply with the regs instead of the regular cable. Any truth in that?

    16mm T&E cable on distrubution circuits - The 6mm CPCs are a limiting factor no?

    Hello all, I wonder if I can get some opinion on my deliberations on an old TPN installation with numerous 1P sub-boards wired up with 16mm T&E cables from a TPN distribution board. It's getting well beyond it's time for the wiring but the client (commercial) needs to eek things out for...

    Would T&E be approved for use in steel conduit and outdoors?

    Hi, My first post so hopefully I am correct in posting it here. My question is, I am thinking of an IP rated outdoor socket for the back garden. I have drilled out to the exterior and now wish to move the socket 1 meter away from where the hole is. I would say use of steel conduit would be...

    T&E cables and expanding foams.

    Hi all, Have a relatively simple question. Doing a rewire to make a circuit in a single room. My father is a retired spark, so no worries about a DIYer doing electrics or anything, he just isn't sure about this particular question. I'm aware modern PU foams like Soudal have no adverse affects...

    Tips for pulling 2.5mm T&E under galvanised metal capping

    I have a two metre length of 2.5mm T&E running from the loft to a spur under galvanised metal capping (installed during building). Its needs replacing with some new cable ( long story). As the cable is buggered, I decided to see how much force it would take to budge it, and it appears to be...

    CCC 1.5mm T&E ref method B?

    Morning! Would someone please mind checking the big brown book for 1.5mm flat sheathed cable, ref method B, CCC? Page 456 from memory. Only have the blue book in the van, which lists refs A and C but not B. Voltage drop is ok, as is Zs. Thanks! :)

    Can LSF and grey household T&E be mixed together in a install

    As the question above states can I mix white LSF and standard grey domestic twin and earth together in a new installation. The property is a domestic property being rewired so wouldn’t be any need for the lsf I just have a few drums of 1.5mm on the van and thought of using them instead of...

    Question about T&E and spotlights in my new build house.

    Hi, So I've just started to install some spotlights in a room in my house, and I always thought to use 1.5mm T&E so I've wired them all up and I've come to connect the main line in and noticed that it is 1.0 T&E. Am I okay to link the main line to my daisy chained spots on 1.5. Some more...

    Thoughts please, SWA vs T&E

    I have a TPN board that will feed 8-10 sub boards. The loads on each board are negligible 5-10 amps peak but mostly 1-2 amps. The distribution circuits will be fed in 6mm mostly for VD reasons but also to allow some selectivity on the OCPD(MCB) my dilemma is SWA or T&E. The route is 98% tray...

    Three 2.5 t&e feeding a socket and a fused spur

    I'm revamping the kitchen electrics, 1980's property. Majority of the sockets have a couple of cables going in/out of them, with the only exceptions being a couple of sockets tee'd off fused spurs and fed by single cables. However, I'm perplexed by one area. By the side of the gas hob there was...

    T&E cable distance from cold water pipe

    Good Evening. I am in the process of making some slight alterations to my Utility room, and there is a Twin and Earth cable that needs re-locating. It is a 20Amp Radial circuit for the socket outlets, solely for the Utility room, protected by a 20 Amp MCB and 30mA RCD. I need to re-locate the...

    Stranded 2.5mm T&E cable

    Recently a couple of threads have discussed T&E cable and it became apparent to me that the 2.5mm, which I have only ever seen as solid core, is available with the live cores in 7-strand (rather like the old 7/.029" imperial size, though with solid CPC and not the 3-strand seen before). In fact...
