    New 4mm T&E feed to existing remote 2.5mm ring. OK or not?

    I'm building a small rental annexe at my own house, which will be supplied by a new local sub-main, with local metering. This includes one existing bedroom which will become part of the annexe. This room has an existing ring final in 2.5mm, all in good condition. Rather than run two new 2.5s, a...

    Floor socket - 2 sets of T&E?

    Before I moved into my flat, it had undergone a quick makeover and as part of that some wiring work was carried out including some extra sockets. I was told that under the kitchen breakfast bar there is T&E already there, it's just that the previous owner never installed a socket there but the...

    16mm T&E tails on 100amp fuse

    Did a job earlier in a new build, part of a 5 year old new build estate in the darkest depths of kent. Anyhow opened up CU and saw 16mm tails so assumed would be on 80a fuse as there not huge demand. Then outside to check service head and main fuse is labelled 100a ?, the tails are 16mm t&e. I...

    4mm t&e radial circuit

    Hi Lads Do any of you guys run radial socket circuits ( with multiple points ) in 4mm ? Do you find 2 x 4mm in the back of a socket a squeeze? Only asking as I've just been passed 2 x 100m drums of 4mm off the lad doing the solar on a job I'm on for doing him a favour.... so 4mm radial...

    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...

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

    I know there’s the adiabatic equation to work earth size but generally if you install a twin and earth cable for distribution, do you need to worry about the smaller cpc size My situation is 20 metre 10mm t and e run and not using it to provide earth bonding. 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...

    Afternoon everyone, I've just been to a neighbours house who has just her home completely done up as the foundations are shot. The house has been rewired and in doing so the consumer unit has been moved to one side of the house (the main fuse is outside on the other side of house). I've gone to...

    1mm T&E on a 16A MCB - doesn't look or feel right!

    Doing an EICR, one circuit described as Central Heating with 1 mm T&E cable connected but on a 16A MCB. When I look closer it appears an Immersion heater has been tagged onto the circuit! I've not been able to ascertain the cable route and its installation method. This is a single storey...
