Things done by habit that you have to think about

[Scott Jacob]

Just sitting here and thought of this. New combi boilers. What size cable do you run for them? Been putting them on a thier own separate radial circuit for years but I automatically run 2.5mm but I guess a 1.5mm is fine these days as only a 3amp is needed on the old fuse spur. Anyone else install things out of habit that’s now over kill?

In fairness though that's at least partially due to the fact that wholesalers here don't stock 1mm^2 cable!

I thought that because in all honesty I have never seen anyone install it

I have a large tupperware box,with a mixture of nuts in it,for snacking,or adding to me lunch box...

The other week,i added dried banana slices,to it.

I don't care,who finds out.

If you add raisins to it mate then I'll nick it off you..

Actually never installed 1mm twin and earth either, all I keep in the van is 1.5 and 2.5

Quite a diverse electrician then Matthew?

plain or self-locking? with or without washers?

It's ludicrous when you think about it, a Combi [or system] boiler probably runs at around 1 amp if that [maybe double with additional pumps] and 1mm on a 6a MCB is more than adequate yet we can't do that according to the regs. What about conserving resources eh ?

I always go for Special Fried Rice, carton of curry sauce and a bag of prawn crackers from the Chinese... Does that count??

Chicken satay on the skewer for me
