4mm2 twin and earth cable

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

regarding 4mm2 cable was it ever available in the old colours with solid conductors rather than the 7 strands version? Ive just done a pre - inspection of a property before doing an EICR and found 2 radial circuits fed from 32A MCBS. The cables appear to be larger than 2,5mm2 . I'm going back to inspect this property with a view to reducing the MCB's to 20A if if they are 2.5mm2. I'm also taking a Vernier gauge to measure the cable diameters and compare to reference tables.

The installation is approximately 30 years old but is in very good condition.

many thanks for your information it is much appreciated and helpful.

I asked the question because the cores appear larger in diameter than the 2.5mm2 cable in the next mcb. I normally carry cable information with me and examples of imperial and metric cables.

I was asked to have a quick look at the consumer unit by a friend and that is why I asked what I thought was a reasonable query.
