defo a 10 i asked supplier:)

sure it's way too big to be a 6

Good man, you got out to the van.

Maybe it's just UK cables that are 6 sq cpc?

Looking at some of their forums, they seem to have to be singles from the meter, and mostly 25 sq and 16 sq MPC. They seem to have a wide variety of supply. TN-C, TN-C-S and TT.

They also have interesting discussions about what is a "competent" person.

There was no consensous as to what is competent but the judge would decide that you were not compotent if you blew up the boiler or burnt down the house.

Its always been 10 on any i used anyway. Im surprised to see it listed in them links with 6 sq though. It will look smaller anyway with no insulation on it when the T&E is stripped.

M cebee

ya they have a few different supply types in the uk

i would think the 16sq t+e is manufactured with either 6sq or 10sq cpc

but supplied here with the 10sq

I would say a fully competent person could do any of the above though. Unless he was a fully competent flawlessly perfect person.
