No it's not. 1.5mm is acceptable. Please don't snip stuff you don't understand.
So you don't know what a ring main is either?
Very true. It's full of twerps like you trying to score points and failing miserably.
You use a 3kW electric fire, do you? So your twin combis can't even heat the house? And you've got a TV that takes a significant load? Is that the TV in your Prius?
Heh heh - my good ol' Philips G6 would blow a 5 amp plug fuse...
It can do 11.5 amp in conduit buried in insulation. You would need to have quite a number of other derrating factors at work for that to be a real problem.
Doing better circuit design would also solve the problem...
Doubt it... the governments own regulatory impact of assessment already highlights there is no real safety grounds for the legislation. Sparks doing jobs on the QT for cash however is their real concern, all that tax money slipping from their grasp!
Think he's finally flipped.
I doubt it. All governments love to govern which means making laws.
The first one that says it will spend its time repealing old and unused laws will get my vote.
Well, yes, possibly, provided that's enough to satisfy the expected loads. In the general case you'd have to restrict the floor area served to 50 m^2 (by analogy with the standard 20 A radial circuit).
The use of such non-standard circuit arrangements is very strongly discouraged.
I have a large kitchen/dining room and whilst ironing often boil a kettle for coffee - also, a small booster electric fan heater is used occasionally.
I thought the idea of a ring main was to effectively multiply the load it can take.

Why the different rating - is it to do with heat; I assume the one clipped to the surface cools better.
Geoff Lane
I'm not sure what builders think but a customer enlists a builder to carry out work and some builders I know of use various specialist contractors for specific work but how would the customer necessarily know?

I likely senario is a 3kW kettle, fire and other appliances. And you say
15mm is fine. Oh my God!!!!_________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download
I really can't believe this. This one is dangerous, very dangerous. A walking disaster area.

Like all those related to land and it being in the hands of a few people.

You, like IMM (or what ever he calls himself ATM), seem to be confusing theoretical debate with practise, no one AIUI it advocating the use of 1.5mm cable section just that in an *ideal* installation it use is theoretically possible.
Using 1mm cable in lighting circuits is not cutting corners. It is already vastly overrated for its intended purpose, even when grouped. Indeed, the fact that it is rated to carry double the circuit design current makes group derating academic.
Christian.
What???
Andy Wade says: "This clearly makes it impossible to design a compliant ring in 1.5mm^2 PVC T&E cable."
Doctor Evil responds and says: "Obvious, that is why 2.5mm is standard."
This fool says in reponse to Andy Wade and Doctor Evil: " No it's not. 1.5mm is acceptable."
Tha is on electricty, and now what he advises on gas....
"Mine managed over 10 years without being touched before it needed a clean. 'Sooting up' once it starts, happens very quickly."
He didn't have his gas boiler serviced for over 10 years, and thinks knows all the answers in this field. I really can't believe this. This one is dangerous, very dangerous. A walking disaster area. Should be killfiled by all sane people.

Yes they did and the G8's on start-up into an empty Capactive filter hence the anti-surge fuse....
No I don't. You'd never get it to fit the sockets.
You obviously don't know anything about electrics. TW&E is not the only type of cable. If you'd actually read all of Andy's post.
Stick to lying about gas savings with condensing boilers. Not so easy to prove one way or the other.
He's upgraded his pseudonym - perhaps it will be "three, you always need three" now?
