i am currently installing some wiring and cannot find any reference to trunking recommendations.

i would like to understand size versus number of cables capacity

trying to fit the following in a trunking run

3cables 2 twin+earth 2.5mm + 1 twin+earth 1.5mm and

5cables 1 triple+earth 1.5mm + 4 twin+earth 1.5mm

what minimium size will be sufficient for each run

You could get that in a 25x16 if you wanted, just, depending on the make. Best make it 16x40 just to be sure.

Should get that in a 16x40 again.

The above assumes that sticking the cables in trunking isn't going to massively derate them.
