Good evening all, I’m currently part way through my apprenticeship and we are working on IB, IN, IZ and IT and volt drop today. And it got me thinking I have seen a circumstance at work, where:
A shower has been wired in 10mm T+E on a 40A breaker. But then from the shower isolator switch a 2.5mm...
Hi everyone
We have some 10mm PCB RGBCCT strips (6 terminals/wires) being installed in the kitchen under the worktops
However electrician is finding soldering them too tricky and I can't seem to find any 10mm 6 pin connectors anywhere. We have some 12mm which we used for a different size strip...
Hi,
I have always used banjos when earthing the armour on an SWA but have now switched to earthing nuts. I am making off a 10mm fly lead to the earthing nut (using 10mm to match the line conductor size as is good practice). Can't find any ring crimps that will take 10mm cable but have a lug hole...
I have a drum of 99.9 metres of 10mm SWA 3 core. Probably 2 years old, it's been sitting in my container for the last year, and I'm sick of tripping over it. Anyone like to make an offer? I'm on Hayling Island, and could deliver within reason if the price is right.
Hi,
I'm new here so apologies if this isn't the correct area to post this.
We moved in to a bungalow around 8 months ago and had a full re-wire done etc.
Over the past 2months we've been ripping out the kitchen as some damages (non-electrical) came to our attention meaning we had to stip back to...
The ongoing kitchen refit.....
I have chased and fitted 10mm T&E from the cooker outlet to the isolator switch and up into the loft. I have 4 metres of T&E in the loft temporary connected to the original 6mm cooker circuit via a 40amp junction box screwed into the rafter, the 6mm then goes into...
Wondering if there is a maintenance free wago for extending 10mm cables? Tried searching and couldn’t find anything. I prefer a wago to a through crimp
I’ve got some lug crimping tool called iwiss off Amazon and when crimping a 10mm cable into a lug I had to use 10mm on one side and 6mm on the other side of the crimper. Not sure how well it will work when it gets to bigger cables 😕.
Are there any decent lug crimpers at a reasonable price?
Hi all, got a new range cooker I’m connecting which comes with a 10mm flex connected. The outside diameter I nearly 20mm and won’t fit into the existing cooker outlet plate. Does anyone know of a supplier which allows for larger diameter cables?
Failing that I’ll have to connect into an...
Hi
I have recently had a bathroom replaced which had an electric shower, this was changed out for a mixer shower off the combi boiler.
The shower cable is a 10mm twin and earth which was pulled back to loft space and JB'd.
A 40amp cb fed the shower.
I am wondering if it is ok run a 6mm supply...
Seen loads of flats are fed from a 60amp isolator in 10mm twin and earth?
don't they need to be 16mm tails and at least a 10mm earth?
or is it just down to the adiabatic?
Hi all, I need some advice- I'm no electrician, i'm just wanting to know the cable size i have in existing shower- Had a look in attic above shower and have attached pics of the cables against a measure (starting at 10 cm/ tape was broken)
Can anyone confirm of these are 10mm or 6mm please...
This is a follow on to my kiln thread.
The kiln is 3 phase but can be run on single phase. It is 12kW.
It has 5 core 10mm2 flex attached to it.
The colours are brown, blue, grey, black, green/yellow.
I'm just looking for the best way to attach L1, L2, L3 and the single phase 10mm conductor...

This is fed from a Locked ryefield DB though a meter then a double pole 100 amp
Isolator , the outlet from the isolator is the 10mm 3 core possibly hightuff cable
This is over sleeved into the isolator.
My question is would the...
i have a spare 10mm cable under my kitchen cabinets which i ran in ages ago intending to use it for power outside, however i changed my mind and used 16mm instead. so was thinking of putting all appliances on 10mm radial with fcu's.
can anyone think why this would be a bad idea ?
cheers
Trying to replace a single run, approx 3M with no bends, of a single 1.5mm twin & earth cable between 2 lighting points in a domestic space. Cable to be mounted IN the ceiling & plastered over. Both points to carry an LED light fitting so minimal current. Is it safe to use 10mm conduit? BS7671...
Hi All,
I am making a annex in a old workshop about 35 metres away from the main fuse board.
It will have a water heater for a shower and sink and then just a few sockets for a kettle etc.
Would a 6mm cable be sufficient and what size shower rating would I need?
Thanks for any advice.
Switch will be in stud wall; cable currently running horizontally....looks like I may need to pull some slack through to run cables through top and bottom of backbox...or strip back sheath and bring through back of plastic box using a 25mm grommet. The 45A switch wiil be in a kitchen for an...
