    Hi all

    Rewiring a house and have to run a new mains cable to a new outdoor location where the ESB meter cabinet will be.

    Is a 16sq twin and earth sufficient, or will I have to run a separate 10sq earth?

    Out of the game a few years so excuse my ignorance !

    16sq t&e is fine.check that the earth is 10sq though as there are batches with only 6mm out there
