Yup that's true, sparky and I did have a debate about 6mm, is that 46amp capacity clipped?

It's not quite that simple, you need to consider all of the other factors which affect the CCC

Hi all,
I've got a 10mm cable exiting the house (on the left), and an existing 2.5mm cable running to the garage (on the right).
I want to replace the 2.5mm with 10mm swa, and have a wispa box to form the junction, questions are
Do I terminate the 10mm t&e as it exits the house into the box wispa box, or run the t&e up to existing junction box and put the wispa box there?
If I do run the swa cable from the point of exit from the house how do I get it shaped to go around the corner of the house?
Any help / advice appreciated
Thanks

If the cable is running solely on the wall and on the catenary then I would be questioning if it needs to have the extra weight of metal provided by the SWA and possibly a less protected cable that would be considerably lighter would be a good idea. Just ensure UV protection.
Yup, discussed and he's happy to sign off, i've done the cabling for the internal renovation and we've worked the same way.
Basically agreed with him i'd run the SWA to the garage, this is to be in place for a couple of years until we build an extension from house to garage. But we didn't discuss the junction box location, hence the questions, however...
....good point on running from the existing wall, i was thinking of simply following the old route directly.
cheers

Thanks all, advice has been excellent, going to wait for sparky to get back and discuss it further to make sure we're both happy, I feel a lot better informed now
