Discuss What to do with a temporary excess of 10mm twin and earth in the loft in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

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 the CU. This will be the situation until the electrician changes out my CU and connects the 10mm to replace the 6mm.

It will be around 3 months before he can fit the CU, so rather than just leaving the excess lose what is the best and safest way to spread the excess out?

Note: the MCB in the CU is still 32amp, and the circuit is still treated as a 6mm 32A cooker circuit until it is fully connected and tested by the electrician. As I'm getting fed up with fish and chips, I need my cooker back until the sparks has been :(
 
Wow I'm confused here. Have you just got a length of live cable to terminate? If so then wago box. If not then I may have have had a couple of early whiskeys ready for the weekend and I apologise.
