    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.

    joining 16mm T&E

    Any ideas on joining a 16mm T&E. Its fed from a main switch up into a flat. Its mechanical sound just to short to reach new board. it needs to be joined under the floor. But we are lost on best practice for this.
