Double socket problems!!

[rennie158]

I’m changing my double socket and upon removing the old one, I seem to have 3 separate wires coming in to it. So essentially I have 3 live wires, 3 neutral wires, and 3 earth wires. How do I connect the earth wires to the new socket as it only has 2 terminals? I’m fitting new chrome black sockets so want to be careful!!

Conduit cable certainly is usually stranded in 1.5mm & 2.5mm where T&E is single.

I don't see stranded T&E on TLC site?

I take it you mean "where T&E is solid"

Only found it on the Check Every Figure site

Got any link to that? A search shows all sort of unrelated stuff.

Yes!

Though I am sure that somewhere, someone, will have linked L+N+CPC in to a single conductor...

and i think he means City Electrical Factors... not Check Every Figure...

A slight on CEF's ability to change prices frequently

Ah yes, and the "sort by price" option that disappears if you are logged in?

For some reason I have seen a lot of stranded 2.5 T&E in schools new and old colours the cpc is always solid.

I have not seen sigle strand 2.5 outside T&E it all seems to be multi strand in Europe, stocked by TLC in the UK.

Isn't 2.5mm2 NYY-J supplied as sold core across Europe?

Stranded 2.5 with stranded cpc

There's nothing in that vid. that says whether it's metric or imperial.
