    1.0mm against 1.5mm T&E lighting circuit

    Hi, to one and all, my first posting, as the title suggests, what do people think about the differences between the cables, I know that the circuits should be carefully designed and considered, insulation in lofts/walls, length of runs etc, but to my mind it should be 1.5mm. The cable...

    T&E clipped direct to outside wall.

The passageway has structure above it which forms internal rooms of this houses. Consequently there is very little natural light in...

    17th ed: T&E or metal clad flex in a school

    Does 17th ed say I can wire a school in T&E? In the states you cant. Can I wire a school in metal clad flex? In the states you can. If none of the above are allowed, we will do it in EMT which I believe you call thin wall. No, its not going to be done in Rigid. theres gotta be a better way...

    6mm T&E on a 32A Cooker circuit

    Struck me recently as to why we use 6mm T&E for a 32A cooker circuit, when generally 4mm (clipped direct) would be sufficient. Is this a historical thing with BS3036 fuses?

    Unused core in T&E

    Quick question. I was adding a 2 way switch to a lighting circuit and discovered a T&E where only one wire was used. he second had just been cut off and not used. I always connect unused cores to the CPC and sleeve green/yellow. Is this common practice or just me?

    Standed tinned copper 2.5 T&E: How old?

    I have recently found some stranded, tinned copper 2.5 T&E on a few inspections that I have been carrying out. As the form asks for the estimated age of the installation, I was wondering if anybody knows when this kind of cable was last widely in use. Thanks chaps

    1mm cpc in 2.5mm T&E

    Hi guys. When and for how long was 2.5mm T&E produced with a 1mm CPC? And why?? I'm at a house which uses this stuff (all with white sheath) all over the place. One ring circuit uses this for one leg but 2.5 with 1.5 for other leg.
