    It was brought up on a course recently they were arguing that the 1.5 single earth isn't strong enough under tension and were recommending 2.5 to be used

    reci can't ban 1.5 singles
    Cpc-same size as live conductors except for t+e
    Last time i looked anyhow

    Probably in terms of 1.5 being weak in terminals they are talking about, rather than fault capacity.

    I'd say it's not ideal setup, say if there is an issue with one appliance all will have to be off I until it's un plugged.

    This is not permitted
    Each appliance must have a dedicated and labelled isolator.544.3.5
