Discuss Parallel Supplies in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

hoo hoo Can I join in this thread?? I'll invite Eng54 as well... :)
 
Parallel circuit/supply needs all conductors to be of the same CSA, follow the same route, cables be of the same type and construction. Parallel circuits can consist of several conductors/cables not just two. Such circuits can and do offer many advantages over a single much larger conductor/cable installation....

If designing the OP's circuit from scratch probably 2 X 16mm would be selected, but in some circumstances even 2 x 10mm could replace a single 35mm cable....
 
so, in a nutcase, sorry, nutshell, as OP already has a single 25mm, the solution is to parallel a second 25mm cable in.
