Hi Folks
Sorry, cable rating question! No doubt this has been asked before and I apologize profusely for not trawling the boards to find it but time is short.
Part of my brief is to install two 13 amp single sockets with single core on a radial circuit, (its less than 30m length and in PVC conduit) my notes say it should be 2.5mm 2 core and earth, but the brief says single core. Can you get single core 2.5mm? should i just use 2 core?
Also its protected by a 32A MCB but i thought 2.5mm had a rating of about 22A? And it could potentially draw 26A! whats with that?
I think I've been looking at this too long and just got myself confused, can somebody dig me out of this.
Many thanks
