Discuss 2.5mm flat cable with a sleeved CPC in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
impossible for me to visualise those measurements.The metric system is crap. I am 183 cm high and 76 kg.
After all this time? Metric is easy. You just gave a simple easy e.g., as well. Very easy. Learn it, it is simple and quick. Everything matches.impossible for me to visualise those measurements.
I believe the Australians do the same but use stranded cable. That must really push up the costs.
Would this be in one of the copper shortages, when we were using cable from wherever it could be sourced?I remember back in the late 80s probably where we used some 1.5 and 2.5 with an insulated cpc. No idea of the manufacturer and I had kept some but no idea where it is now.
And if it's plywood, you'll be right!I use metric for precision and imperial for rough measuring. e.g. a 2400 x 1200 sheet board I call an 8" x 4".
No, as the CPC never carries the current for any significant length of time. Even for the odd case of a N-E fault and then an open N you would be disconnected on the RCD in most circuits so the CPC never needs "overload" protection, only ever fault protection.So it needed to be the same size as L and N. Seems modern disconnecting safety devices have changed the view.
