    Running 10mm T&E externally?

    I’ve done some labouring support work for sparks in the past (joiner by trade) and have a qualified spark installing an electric shower for me. To save him time I’m going to run the cable. Using 10mm. Walls and floors not easily accessible and shower is about 25m of wire from consumer unit...

    Looped Supplys...Black flat T&E..............

    Been asked to advise on a rewire. I think on age alone it's advisable but the following points add to the argument. Installation age approx 60 years. This is a "forever Home" so although it may test ok how long will it stay so? Black T&E throughout. Not a reason to condemn alone but adds to...

    Tails (or rather T&E) behind skirting.

    Hello all. About to do a CU change and from the pre works visit it looks like the 16mm T&E from the meter is run 3m to the CU behind the skirting board. No mechanical protection seen. TNS. Ze = 0.28ohms. This clearly isn't acceptable and I shall advise getting it changed but my question is...

    32A MCB feeding 1.5mm & 2.5mm T&E cables via 30A terminal block

    Quickie - Would you say this is ok? 32A MCB feeding 6mm T&E which is then connected to a 2.5mm T&E & 1.5mm T&E cable via a 30A terminal block in plastic terminal block housing buried in stud wall. The 2.5mm feeds a 3kW immersion heater with 13A SFU at the heater end. The 1.5mm feeds gas boiler...

    10mm t&e submain cpc

Will the 4mm cpc be adequate. 50A...

    1.5 mm T&E on a B32 MCB

    Not working on this circuit but not sure what to do. The circuit appears to only supply an unused FCU which I'd like to disconnect in the CU but as it has nothing to do with the work I'm doing I cannot spend too much time investigating the full circuit. I have isolated the MCB overnight and...

    Bellwire alongside T&E in conduit

    I have some 20mm conduit going to the lights in my garage. I've wired them up using 1.5mm T&E in the conduit rather than conduit cable. I'm looking at routing my garage door opener cable in the same conduit, however from what I understand you cant mix low voltage cables with mains. As the...

    Plastic compression glands for T&E into metal CU

    I'm sure this will have come up but what are the thoughts on cable entry into metal CUs? Obviously from the rear is simplest but if cables have to come in from below then do we need to use metal glands or are plastic ok? I assume for RFC its best for both legs of the circuit to enter together...
