Switch Wiring Problem

[MidsomerDave]

Thanks for that everyone...seems the general consensus is that brown sleeving on a switched blue wire is acceptable then. Maybe it´s a matter of preference, just as long as it´s not WRONG! Just for information all domestic lighting circuits here in Portugal are 1.5mm. Thanks again. Dave.

Hi Dave,

It is perfectly acceptable to use twin and earth sleeved accordingly.


Has been done that way for many years.

i have always used 1.5 buider has supplied 1.0 i used it for switch drops and sent him
back for 1.5 this is just the way it was done from day one however if you read the manufacturers instructions on elv tranformers 1.5 cable min
so 1.0 would not comply

Thats only for the output side though, isnt it?

you could be right jason i remember reading it but did not take a lot of notice
as i use 1.5 after saying that the trannys were prewired on the outgoing side

Any reason why not?

for me the universal standard is white is the ground negative (-) black for positive (+) or green for negative (-) red for positive (+)

what country/situation would that be?

1.0mm brown blue with a band of brown tape round the blue, does that make me a bad spark?

No. but ideally should be sleeved as ins tape 'lets go' after some time.

Good question!
