2.5mm flat cable with a sleeved CPC

[John-SJW]

I recall seeing this a long time ago. Is it still available? Anyone know.

 

[John-SJW]

I'm not sure the touch voltage difference matters much in practice,

I have the impression the CPC was reduced in T&E to accommodate British ring circuits. With 32A mcb and cable that is 5mm in total, the reduced CPC is fine as it is doubled, also with two ways back to the CU.

I don't think so. For the simple reason that 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, and 16mm all have reduced size CPCs.

 

[John-SJW]

My reasoning was the ring circuit prompted it, to get cable cheaper, and smaller so easier to fit. In an installation 2.5mm cable is used more than any other. Keeping the cost of that down alone helps in the overall costs of an installation. Then they threw the rest in.

This thread started on the subject of sleeved cpcs for T&E cables. At #28 you randomly introduced Wago connectors to the thread, no idea why. Can you explain what #28 had to do with Wagos for the post you quoted.

I also introduced ferules as well.

That doesn't answer my question what did Wagos have to do with the post you quoted in #28. Ferrules were introduced as a consequence from the introduction of Wagos.

What have you got about Wago connections? What is all is Spanish Inquisition stuff about?

Strange attitude again.

I use metric for precision and imperial for rough measuring. e.g. a 2400 x 1200 sheet board I call an 8" x 4"

One of my annoyances (there are many !) is that if you actually measure a sheet of board, it's often nearer 2440 x 1220 mm... but sold as 2400 x 1200 mm. The reason of course is that it's actually 8' x 4' !

I'm hoping that post EU, we will legally be able to use imperial sizes where they are relevant.

This thread is now considerably shorter any more sidetracking with Wagos and it will be completely gone.

You are out your depth conversing with graduate engineers - many here clearly are unable to see advantages of anything new. Outside of Cyberworld, I probably would not speak to you much in a professional capacity. You would be firmly told and directed what to do, with your input not wanted or ignored. That is not to say hands on electricians cannot add value - after a while you know the ones to talk to, and those you tell what to do.

That's a tall pedestal you have put yourself on John, you clearly have issues.

You know nothing of my background, so let's keep things on track.

Your attitude is what I have an issue with, not your technical knowledge or experience. This alone tells me all that I need to know about you, along with your post above.

I care not a hoot what you think about my attitude. If you want to discuss that go to a PM with me. You are just clutter and noise on the thread. Far too many of them here.

No, lifetime of dealing with many who think they know better because they picked it up, with little to no education. Many have said to me they have 30 years experience, so must know it all. In reality they have had 6 months repeated 60 times.
