    Extending table lamp flex

    I have a table lamp fitted with 2 core 0.75mm flex. I wish to extend the length of the cable but only have 2 core 1.5mm flex to hand. Can I use this, or must the flex be the same diameter both sides of the join. Sorry if this is a ridiculous question. Thank you for your advice.

    Finding the correct cable table

    A lot of these mock exam questions are not specific about armoured or non armoured multicore cables, flat twin or not etc, the correct table to use can be a bit of trial and error until you get the correct answer for Volt drop for example.

    Advice on TABLE 41.3 please?

    Table 41.3 provides max Zs values based on Uo = 230V. Can this this table be used to assess Zs for Uo = 110 v ac on a reduced voltage system. Perhaps reducing Zs pro rata? Thanks
