    Inconsistent R1+Rn

    I'm getting some unexpected continuity results. r1+r2 = 0.11 rn+r2 = 0.11 r1+rn= 0.14?? I was expecting something in the region of 0.08?? I have left the job for now. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

    4mm 32a Radial In Trunking

    Changed a CU today and noticed the kitchen sockets were wired in 4mm t&e surface mounted in trunking and on a 32A breaker. Now, the CCC for this is strictly only 30A (ref.method B). Would anyone be overly bothered about this? Common sense tells me that it is unlikely this cable will be asked to...

    Redundant 6mm Cooker circuit to 4mm radial?

    Hi there. Just a discussion with a colleague. Is it acceptable to use a redundant 30A cooker circuit wired in 6mm, and downsize to 4mm via JB for a kitchen radial? For example, if there is one ring supplying a house and you would like to reduce the risk of overloading with all the...

    Why is a cooker circuit generally 6mm and 32a

    As above why is this as I have had a thought and a 20a 2.5 mm cable would be sufficient? Even in my new built it has an oven and hob both 32a radials for each on 6mm cable? Each with a 13a plug on the appliance as diversity shows around 10a max. so even with an upgraded appliance I don't see...
