Looking for advice cooker 6mm cable

[Philo]

Hi all, looking for some advice. I have removed electric cooker, and was wondering can I use the 6mm cable to conect some double and single sockets or could I use the cable to create a ring main. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What expertise and test kit do you have?

Thought it was Friday the plumbers come in to troll ?

Oh god I hate it when this happens. but I agree with Murdoch...

What Murdoch said.

I think he means extending the existing, redundant circuit to some sockets. Not reuse the cable as such.

The 6mm could be used to feed a contactor or isolator and a ring final installed from this.
In essence it would be a hybrid circuit.
As long as the essential testing is carried out, it’s acceptable.

Why a contractor? Is it a cryptic clue hinting at a lollipop ring being edible.

Ok lads, by your response to my question the answer is no I can't run sockets or use as a ring main. Thanks for the advice.

Er no that's NOT whats been stated.

Aside from the general silliness we were just looking for your level of expertise and access to test equipment so we could tailor our responses to suit.

Yes you can providing the relevant regulations are followed and the alterations are inspected and tested by the required means.
You could even install a radial circuit, with the 6mm being the first point on the circuit and go from there.
All as long as the relevant regulations are complied with, rcd protection etc etc.

Forum rules means you will not receive a step by step guide on here.
Best get an electrician in as it’s safer for all concerned.

Ok thanks anyway.

Hi @Philo . You can have sockets added to this. There are a few ways to do this. I would recommend that you talk to an electrician for this though. Get a few quotes and take it from there. The advantage of an electrician doing the work is that you will get a test cert at the end.
