I am an electrician that mainly works in industrial settings but have done domestic work on and off over the years. It's been a while since I've done any new build installs like my...

    Armoured cable & T&E

    Hi All, I have a job to install 6mm supply to a small outbuilding. Ideally i would run SWA all the way from Meter box(im taking it from Henley block) to the outbuilding, but not in this case. Cable will have to go through the kitchen area. So im thinking to have 6mm t&e in trunking, it's only...

    Flex or T&E

    When installing multiple downlights, I always use T&E but I’ve seen a few cases where flex is used. Does it matter? Is there a reg or best practice on this? Just interested in peoples input

    Judging imperial submain T&E cable

    Doing an EICR on a top floor flat recently and run into an issue I often do - which is judging imperial sizes when they are larger than the standard 1/1.5/2.5mm equivalents. In this case, the flat is fed by a Twin and Earth cable that is somewhere around the 10-16mm range equivalent, with an...

    Outdoor t&e - EICR fault code?

    Hi all The subject says it all - there's a lot of outside exposed clipped t&e out there with all the attendant physical protection and UV issues. Question is - should it have a fault code on a report? I guess it would be a C3 at most, but should it feature at all? Cheers

    T&E Prices?

    What is everyone paying for 1.5 & 2.5 T&E at the minute? The price of copper seems to be as low as it's been in a long time, and cable slowly seems to be following it.

    Is galv conduit containing insulated and sheathed cables (e.g. T&E) still an exposed-conductive part?

    Eh up :) As per the title, "Is galv conduit containing insulated and sheathed cables (e.g. T&E) still an exposed-conductive part?" Clearly, if it contained unsheathed singles, it obviously is. If it's not an exposed-conductive part (and it's not extraneous in the case I'm thinking of) then it...

    UFH T&E Cable Melting / Heat Damage

    I was tracing some electrical cabling last night and noticed a ~6" section of 2.5 T&E cable that appears to have been subject to heat damage and the plastic has started to melt. It's about 1m away from the CU in the garage and connected to a 32amp MCB. It's a radial circuit that powers a small...

    New 4mm T&E feed to existing remote 2.5mm ring. OK or not?

    I'm building a small rental annexe at my own house, which will be supplied by a new local sub-main, with local metering. This includes one existing bedroom which will become part of the annexe. This room has an existing ring final in 2.5mm, all in good condition. Rather than run two new 2.5s, a...

    Landlords EICR and t&e sub mains without RCD

    Hi All Been doing a lot of EICR for landlords recently due to new legislation and agents i guess. One common issue im finding even with relatively new (10 years) old installations is a T&E sub main. Now some of these have a 100mA rcd .. or no RCD .. some are even wired in concentric cable...

    Floor socket - 2 sets of T&E?

    Before I moved into my flat, it had undergone a quick makeover and as part of that some wiring work was carried out including some extra sockets. I was told that under the kitchen breakfast bar there is T&E already there, it's just that the previous owner never installed a socket there but the...

    16mm T&E tails on 100amp fuse

    Did a job earlier in a new build, part of a 5 year old new build estate in the darkest depths of kent. Anyhow opened up CU and saw 16mm tails so assumed would be on 80a fuse as there not huge demand. Then outside to check service head and main fuse is labelled 100a ?, the tails are 16mm t&e. I...

    4mm t&e radial circuit

    Hi Lads Do any of you guys run radial socket circuits ( with multiple points ) in 4mm ? Do you find 2 x 4mm in the back of a socket a squeeze? Only asking as I've just been passed 2 x 100m drums of 4mm off the lad doing the solar on a job I'm on for doing him a favour.... so 4mm radial...
