    cable clipped direct.

    Hi you brainy people Think am gonna have to dig myself a trench and put on my tin hat for this question but here goes, can a standard PVC/PVC cable be clipped direct outside to a wall or fence as long as its protected by rcd. Or does it have to have a form of mechanical protection.

    Cables clipped to the walls

    Why in older commercial buildings do the electricians fasten cables to the wall rather than install tray etc. Been in a place today where over the years more and more circuits have been added, but no one has installed tray etc just clipped to the wall a ties to existing cables. Looks a right mess

    6mm T&E on a 32A Cooker circuit

    Struck me recently as to why we use 6mm T&E for a 32A cooker circuit, when generally 4mm (clipped direct) would be sufficient. Is this a historical thing with BS3036 fuses?
