Aluminium/Copper Split Con

AncientMariner
I have been trying to find either a table or current figures for split-con cable where the Live is 25mm2 Aluminium (single core) and both the Neutral (7 strand) and Earth (5 strand) are 16mm2 Copper. This split-con used by Scottish Power in their MANWEB area circa 2002. Google has not been my friend...


I am interested in current ratings for buried in the ground and within a hockey stick (in wall cavity) and the max BS88 fuse that could be used by the DNO to protect - currently an 80 amp.

Thanks.

    (Similar to bailer twine - there's a word from my farming past...)




    Surely 'baler twine' from farming - hay bales and all that. (though we also used the stuff to string up soft fruits at the farm in Billericay I worked as a student)

    Perhaps 'bailing ' is a word from your seafaring days ?  though we hope not...


    25/16 alu/copper will be more or less standard regardless of make. Normally find it feeding up to one 100A, or maybe 2 60A feeds, anything more would be more likely 35mm
