35mm tails?

[GBDamo]

Looking at a job today and the meter tails were 35mm with a 25mm earth into a 100A SP TN-S with a 10mm soldered main earth.

Tail run, no more that 3m all clipped and a short run in trunking.

The 6181Y is doncaster cabel brand.

Measured the cable at 13.5mm OD and this confirms its definitely 35mm.

Not an issue but can't think why 35mm was used, any ideas other than it's what was on the van?

Is this domestic?
I’ve installed 35 mm tails on a 100 amp fuse but this was 3 phase and the cables where bunched.

Commercial.

I said single phase but its from three phase head with only one fuse and meter installed.

My guess would be it's either what they had on the van, or lack of knowledge.

May have been in spec

I used to fit meters for a DNO years ago. I go with the theory that its all he had in the van.
