    Safe approach to burying an unused T&E?

    As title suggests, I've removed what a T&E has been used for, so it's now just a live cable. I've terminated it and boxed it (for now), but this needs burying and skimming over. I think the right way according to regs is to trace it back, make sure it's dead then pull the cable out of the wall...

    Reference method 100/102 or A

    Hi everyone. What's the correct reference method for cables (2.5mm t&e 32A? ring main) clipped to wooden joists between the ground floor and first floor. Standard build plasterboard ceiling, chipboard first floor. The joists are to be filled with loft type glass mineral wool insulation. Joists...

    4mm/2.5mm T&E

    Hi all, looking to potentially wire some new sockets in a 4mm radial rather than 2.5mm RFC. Been my preference for ages, find it less hassle to install, and 25A is plenty. That being said, something I've always been a bit tetchy over is the potential worst case touch voltage given the "normal"...

    Extend T&E Ring in Back Box

    I’ve bought some new sockets but due to the terminals being the other way round when compared to the original socket. I’m looking for a way to extend the line as it’s just too short. Absolutely no slack on the cables. I’m quite amazed really as I’ve 10 to swap, some were okay, and the last one...

The shower cable is a 10mm twin and earth which was pulled back to loft space and JB'd. A 40amp cb fed the shower. I am wondering if it is ok run a 6mm supply...

    Linian T&E clips

    Anyone used them? Wondering how good they are. Got a job to clip some 10mm2 t&e surface and thinking of using them. Do they hold the cable securely and stop it ‘slipping through’ and sagging? Never used any of the linian clips to be honest.

    T&E between light switches, what are my options?

    Hey, my downstairs hallway light switch is a 2 gang but doesn't control my upstairs hallway light (and just a 1 way for the upstairs light). After inspecting, there is unconnected T&E thats runs to the upstairs light from the downstairs 2 gang switch. Now I know that can't be used as a 3 core...

    2 X Ovens on 4mm T&E

    Hi All, I have 1 X Fan oven 3.3Kw and an oven/microwave combo 3Kw. I had already installed a 4mm cable, as originally, there was only going to be one oven. After doing the calcs and looking at diversity, it seems to me that I'm safe to go with both ovens on this cable. Total Load: 6.3Kw Cable...

    Protective conductor in T&E

    Hi all Been in electrical/electronics for many years and am now semi retired but keeping my hand in, but is it just me, my age or what but back in the eighties / ninties nothing seemed to change that much and yes there was far less choice in fittings. Having spent more time in industrial than...

    Armoured cable & T&E

    Hi All, I have a job to install 6mm supply to a small outbuilding. Ideally i would run SWA all the way from Meter box(im taking it from Henley block) to the outbuilding, but not in this case. Cable will have to go through the kitchen area. So im thinking to have 6mm t&e in trunking, it's only...

    Flex or T&E

    When installing multiple downlights, I always use T&E but I’ve seen a few cases where flex is used. Does it matter? Is there a reg or best practice on this? Just interested in peoples input

    Judging imperial submain T&E cable

    Doing an EICR on a top floor flat recently and run into an issue I often do - which is judging imperial sizes when they are larger than the standard 1/1.5/2.5mm equivalents. In this case, the flat is fed by a Twin and Earth cable that is somewhere around the 10-16mm range equivalent, with an...

    Outdoor t&e - EICR fault code?

    Hi all The subject says it all - there's a lot of outside exposed clipped t&e out there with all the attendant physical protection and UV issues. Question is - should it have a fault code on a report? I guess it would be a C3 at most, but should it feature at all? Cheers

    Is galv conduit containing insulated and sheathed cables (e.g. T&E) still an exposed-conductive part?

    Eh up :) As per the title, "Is galv conduit containing insulated and sheathed cables (e.g. T&E) still an exposed-conductive part?" Clearly, if it contained unsheathed singles, it obviously is. If it's not an exposed-conductive part (and it's not extraneous in the case I'm thinking of) then it...

    UFH T&E Cable Melting / Heat Damage

    I was tracing some electrical cabling last night and noticed a ~6" section of 2.5 T&E cable that appears to have been subject to heat damage and the plastic has started to melt. It's about 1m away from the CU in the garage and connected to a 32amp MCB. It's a radial circuit that powers a small...
