Under BS7671, what is the amperage of 1.5mm2, 2.5mm2 and 4mm2 copper conductor restricted to when inside a race way or cable of no more than 3 current carry conductors? Thank you! :smiley2:

Do you have a copy of BS7671?
"raceway" ?
"pvc jacketed" ?
pfft , next you'll be calling a rcd a ground fault circuit interupter or some such nonsense......... ;-)
In fairness to him he is talking about our sizes of cable (not awg), i think he is just trying to get a grasp of our cable relevant to his own yank cable.
Possibly Rapparee but my post will give insight as to what we need to know to answer his question, not knowing the American way its hard to approach this with any other answer unless the OP gives more detail or expresses why he's after this info..
fire nuts, what a **** idea they are.

forget posting here
go to an american site
Just to ask, why are wire nuts not recognized in the EU? When pre-twisted and done right they are an indestructible connection.
If any schuko plugs are needed those automatically get 2.5mm2 cable at either a 16 or 20amp RCBO since schuko has no built in fuse.
