    Volt drop tables for LSF T&E

    Which table do you use in BS7671 for volt drop for LSF Twin and Earth? There does not appear to be a table for LSF cable. 4D5 refers to the grey PVC cable and is not the right one to use for the white LSF. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'd appreciate peoples views on this, including compliance or otherwise with the regs. I've come across a 1-bed flat where one ring main serves the small kitchen, and boiler & security alarm.
