Twinand Earth Sizes and Uses. 1mm used for small lighting circuits. 1.5mm used for lighting circuits. 2.5mm 16A Radial sockets and 32A ring mains. 4mm 32A Radial sockets. 6mm Cooker cable. 10mm Cooker and shower cable. 16mm Large showers have stranded conductors. Inthis post we will talk over all the technical specifications of twin and earth cables, from current carrying capacity through to bend radius and the temperature, environments the cable is designed to be installed in. 1.5mm twin and earth a very common cable to use in house hold lighting; 2.5mm twin and earth the vast majority of 32A ring CableSize Range 1.5 - 2.5mm² Colour Blue Compliance UL Current Rating 19A Guarantee 1 Year Insulated Yes Material High Grade PVC Operating Temperature 75°C Packaging Types Pack Product Range Pre-Insulated Terminals Size 4mm Unspsc V18 39121405 Voltage Rating 600V Weight 0.084kg Evena double socket ( 2 time 13 amp fusing ) at the end of the spur is just within the current rating of 2.5mm² cable.

Viewed 8k 1 The voltage rating of the cable must be equal to, or greater than, the voltage rating of the system into which it is connected. 2. The current carrying capacity of the cable must be equal to, or greater than, the current to be carried, taking into account any applicable current de-rating factors. 3. Trirated cable exceeds these requirements with a maximum temperature of 105°C to comply with UL758 and CSA 22.2. Canadian Standards Association - CSA 22.2 – details the specific requirements for flexible cords, elevator cables and hoistway cables with a voltage rating up to a maximum of 600V. 25mm cable or 2.5 cable is a common size found across a range of cable types for different applications, with various lengths, core types and cable codes available to suit any installation requirements. Typically able to carry a current rating of 20a, 2.5mm electrical cable should be used for the corresponding power demands of the BSEN 50267, BS EN 60134-2BS, BS EN 50200 PH 30, PH 60. 2.5mm² 2 Core Fire Resistant Cable.
