Hi all
I was in need of some 2.5mm twin and earth for a spur, was passing tool station and called in.
Got Twin & Earth Cable (6242Y) Grey 2.5mm2 x 25m -
But when looking at the cable its got written on it: 2.5mm + 1.5mm.
So it looks like the live and neutral is 2.5mm but the earth is 1.5mm...
I have a small wiring extension to undertake and have an unused 50 metre roll of 2.5mm Twin and Earth (Red and Black). The roll is about 15 years old (its been in the loft), and I was wondering if it is acceptable to use this, or whether it was 'past it sell by date'?
Thanks.

A quick question, maybe a stupid one .... but it baffles me ,and I cannot find any info on the net. If you do the continuity test on a lighting circuit to get your resistance values, wired in twin and earth, how do you the the value for the earth ? Obviously you link the earth and phase or...
Hi,
I need to put a new socket on a wall in my living room, it will spur off and existing socket and it is my closest option (nothing upstairs either), the thing is there is a door way in the way. Instead of going up and over the door am I ok to channel a small path in my concrete floor and...
Hello,
Board change today (domestic), cable is aluminium twin and earth - socket ring = 4mm/1.5mm, lighting = 1mm/1mm, oven 10mm/4mm
IR all good, continuity & Zs are within values set for copper equivalents.
This is not tinned copper.
I have managed to find out that this cable was used...
Good evening all,
Anyone used any of this yet?
Reason I ask is that it's on offer at the minute, 2.5mm 100M for £47.
Apparently it's made by Prysmian so should be OK would you think?

Hello can anyone tell me whether white PVC twin and earth is still allowed to be used. I knw it was made obsolete in 2008 but was just unsure if it is acceptable to use and also to get the job certified. Cheers in advance

Hi guys.
Is it ok to spur off a old socket that's wired in the old twin/earth cable its either tinned copper (conductors and earth is sranded) or aliminium as iv heard metals can react with one another.thanks
I have come to a site to assist the install if fire protection equipment. Another contractor is doing the main electrical wiring. Working with one of them I observed him joining a 2.5 T&E ring cable under floorboards. I expected him to use a new style maintenance free joint box (e.g. the Ashley...
