To Flex or not to Flex

[EddieB]

Is there a max distance stated in the regulations that a flex can be used for a fixed appliance

I'm not getting your query, flex is to be treated like any other cable if used as hard wiring thus cable calcs used or do you mean an extension lead/reel?

The OP said 'fixed' appliances hence my query.

I take it you are talking about flex off FCU, to fixed loads,no distance required after bs1363 fuse, the norm is 3 meters , bearing in mind csa of flex and vd.

Must read the thread more closely, sorry mate

Think we need the OP back to expand on this before we keep the guess work up
