I'm currently renovating an old cottage, as I'm having to put up some stud work I'm thinking of installing some insulation (100mm) before I plasterboard it.
This will mean that I'll end up with about15 meters of the ring main cable (2.5mm T&E on a 32 amp fuse) sandwiched between the outside wall (which is 2' solid stone) and the insulation (not in the insulation itself). Do I need to worry about de-rating the cable in this situation?
The electrics are in good condition and were tested about two years ago.
Thanks for any advice.
