Long shot - anyone have a copy of the WireRegs/Commentary-UpdateApr04.pdf

Until a couple of years ago the IET published a 'commentry' that described some tests of cable ageing with over temperature and has formuae for estimated the life shortening effect of  overloading.

The URL used to be
https://www.theiet.org/Publish/WireRegs/Commentary-UpdateApr04.pdf


Sadly the webpage has moved as part of one of the tidy-ups, and for whatever reason the Wayback machine never archived it. Before I pester the webmasters on Monday if they have it on back-up tapes I'd like to ask on the off chance if anyone happens to have kept a copy they could upload ?

  • Hi Mike. Our head of technical regulations says: 

    Information on aging of cables can be found in “Commentary on IET Wiring Regulations 17th Edition (BS 7671:2008+A3:2015 Requirements for Electrical Installations), 7th Edition”. This publication was not updated to BS 7671:2018 but the information on aging of cables, page 104, clause 6.1.3, remains current; available here:
