Discuss Who's right? Hopefully me! in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Thing is I know what I did was stupid. However I've not decided to enter the industry to be a bodge artist. I'm in it for the long haul and one day would like to be known for being good!!!
 
the only reason we use blue with a brown sleeve is when using T/E where there's no option. in ROI, they use twin brown for switch cables.
 
I'm just stressing and unfortunately came here to rant. But on the plus side I know never to do it again.
Maybe I should have just said ' don't worry my mates an electrician and he's gonna change it when he's back off holiday'

Sorry I must be getting the wrong end of the stick is this in a training centre or on site, if on-site why are you unsupervised.
 
From the point of view of compliance with the regulations it is possible to sleeve a blue single brown and use it as a line conductor. From a practical and good workmanship point of view it is not good to use a cable that could be misidentified; because you would be expected to use brown in this case brown should be used and this makes a safer and better installation.
