Hi All
got a question regarding SY cable. I have tried to find the current rating for 6mm SY cable and have found a data sheet the GEM cables which states 33 amps in conduit thermal wall and 54amps when in free air. Also seen a few other manufactures state these ratings but a lot stating 44amps for 6mm cable. What table is best to go with in BS7671 to suit this cable. Reason being have a site transformer with a pull of 40 amps have installed this on a 40amp type D MCB to suit the transformer. But didn’t take into account the difference in current rating from SWA , T&E and SY cables ? Hope that makes sense ? any info will be much appreciated
